school system and judging by the creative spelling in signage
around these parts poor spelling is not an uncommon affliction.
On South Tongass, we are instructed
to "Yeild." In the Carlanna area, we are warned about
"Slow Childern." One of our grocery stores recently

Iowa and Michigan. This essentially becomes free advertising
for the Bush-Cheney campaign in some very important and influential
states during this election season. - More...
