Drabble by Kevin Fagan for October 15, 2014

Reminds me of my high school days when I put off buying my books, and got in scalding hot water.

Not even an excuse about the textbooks being discounted? Norm will have the luck of the Irish if any books are actually available.

his future is grimm

All the knowledge is in Google¡¡¡

I was stunned to find out that college texts are costing up to $200 now. I only paid $600 tuition per semester when I went and a $40 book was an outrage.

Here we go again-every comic has a pop up ad that is in your face. Got how I hate those ads and the sponsors who inflict them on me-never buy those products.

Bears: I played in a community band one summer. We were paid $10 per concert for a ten concert season. That bought my books for the next two semesters. (1952) This was in Texas, but back in those days in California, one could go from kindergarten to PhD without tuition if the grades were adequate – just like Europe today. Gov. Reagan put an end to that.

I would have thought Norm got his textbooks on his KindleTM — then they don’t weigh nothing.

…waiting for grammar police to strike.

I remember one college course it took me 2 months to find an available textbook. Required course of course.

It depends upon the teacher / professor. []When I was in college, I never actually needed my textbooks for my Visual Basic class and one of my history classes. Everything in the tests came right from the lectures and demonstrations. []For most of my other classes, however, the professors assigned homework problems straight from the manual and so reading it was mandatory.
