Abduction Chatter

Today, I viewed an odd map.....where some guy had sat down over decades and added up alien abductions.

Apparently....the state you live in....increases the odds, or lessens the odds. The number on the list? Around 150,000.

The possibility states?  New Hampshire, Idaho, Vermont, Maine, and Oregon.

The marginal states?  New Mexico, Indiana and Nebraska.

Slightly above the marginal states?  Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee.

I pondered over this.

Personally (from a Ala prospective)....I think Alabama is way over the top, but most guys who've been abducted....haven't said nothing much about the experience. 

We tend to be quiet, reserved, and a bit stoic over the matter....even if it's been eleven  or twelve times that the alien 'lady' has encountered us while hauling hay, returning from the stateline bar, or passed out from the heat.

We don't want to mess around and brag about the experience, or get woeful over the experience.

What isn't in the index?  Was this a friendly abduction, or a crappy abduction?

More guys than women?  That's  not in index, and I wonder about that.

Are A Quarter Of Americans Low-IQish Enough...That They Can't Get A Legit ID?

 I watched a podcast today, which led me around to the suggestion....maybe a quarter of society is ill-equipped to get a ID.

I pondered over this. On my person....I carry a US license, a German license, a German visa-card, and a passport.  The Germans are a bit blunt....no discussion....you will have a visa whenever on the street.

If you ask a German where to get the license or  ID....everyone knows the address.

I would imagine in my home-county of Alabama....if you asked about the license situation....about 99.9-percent of folks know the building and address. State-wise?  If you tested folks....it's probably near 98-percent of folks.

But if this is the case....too low of a IQ....maybe we should hire some folks to lead the low-IQ folks to the right county office. I'm not saying to pay them $18-an-hour....just set up a burger-flipper situation....paying them $12-an-hour and give them a Ford to carry passengers.

I might even make it interesting.....if you got the ID, and used it to vote....we ought to give you a coupon-card for $40 off at the local Piggly Wiggly.  

Micro-School?

 I had to ask Grok/AI.....this AM....what the hell is a micro-school.

So....it's a small personalized learning environment that basically acts like theold 1890ss traditional one-room schoolhouse.....It'd typically serve 12 to 15 students (varying ages).

So it acts like a homeschool and conventional school.  Flexible?  Yeah....they can run with personalized knowledge sets.

Does it have to be in a building?  Well....no.  You could be the instructor, with a 20-pax bus, and have daily trips to parks, museums, historical sites.  

Testing-out?  I would imagine most kids in this situation....could be finished with basic school by age 16, and move onto community college.
