The local school districts are investigating the feasibility of consolidating schools. there are several outlying issues that raise concerns. 1 the larger school district has just built a new high school, gymnasium, Etc, they have a bond and the taxes are higher. The way I heard it explained was that if the school boards agree ahead of time this bond can be transferred to the property owners in the merging district, if no agreement then no change in taxes. 2 The larger district has k-3 elementary school in the next town east(about 13 miles). The town considering merging is west of the larger town about 10 miles, and their district extends west another 10 miles. Essentially any K-3 child would have a 30 mile drive to and from school each way. 3 There already exists a longstanding distrust between the two towns from who knows how long ago(kinda like in the middle east but without all the killings). but at the same time many parents have transferred their kids to the larger school in the past year, in many cases so they will be in a better sports program/larger classes. I really don't have a lot at stake. My kids started school in the smaller school, we moved to a bigger house in the bigger school district but kept the kids in the first school since we live right on the boundary. That being said I pay the high taxes but don't get anything from them. What are some of your experiences with this kind of thing? Nobody wants to lose the largest employer in town, but it is probably going to happen.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
