Jake Speaking
by Kyle
"Hello, thank you for calling State Farm. Jake speaking. How may I help you?" says Jake as he answers the phone at his stressful work. Jake is sick and tired of the people calling up just to laugh at him because of that State Farm commercial. "Yes, I am wearing khakis." A sigh comes out as the customer is getting amused on the other end of the line asking him.
Jake walks home, he takes off his tie, and wonders why he has to dress up to answer the phone at his work. The idea is confusing and frustrating him to the point of yelling at his innocent dog, Jake, Jr. He gets some ice cream and curls up on the couch. All of a sudden the phone rings. Jake puts down his ice cream and slowly walks up to the landline, staring at it like it's an alien object. He picks it up and asks, "Hello?" "Hey, is this Jake from State Farm?" the caller answered. Jake screamed at the phone, ripping it off the wall, and stomping on it like he was trying to put out a fire.

We Remember
On December 7, 1941, at Pearl Harbor on Ford's Island, Hawaii, between about 8:00 AM and 10:00 AM, the Japanese naval air force struck without warning and severely crippled the American Pacific Fleet. The two hour attack left Oklahoma and Arizona destroyed beyond repair, California, West Virginia, and Nevada out of commission for a year or more; and Maryland, Tennessee, and Pennsylvania (the flagship) under repair for weeks.
In addition to the loss of matériel, over 2,400 Americans died, and about 1,000 more were wounded. This unexpected attack united America and led to our entrance into World War II.

Two Hour Delay
Administration announced a two-hour delay for this morning, Monday, December 2, 2013. We got a few inches of snow yesterday and last night, and the plows are still in action. I will see you all around 9:15 at school.
On an unrelated note, this is the 209th anniversary of the crowning of Napoleon Bonaparte as the Emperor of France. Driven by a brilliance matched only by his ego, the 35-year-old tactician had already taken control of France, and aimed to increase his holdings throughout Europe. Unwilling to let Pope Pius VII actually put the crown on his head, Napoleon took it from the old pope's hands and crowned himself.
So while you are enjoying your morning off, think of another morning long ago, when a young general took control of a country, and nearly took control of an entire continent.
