By now, most of us are familiar with the plight of Ahmed Mohamed and his "BOMB" that was masquerading as a Clock that got him arrested, handcuffed, fingerprinted and suspended.

NOTE to the Irving school authorities and police who were repeatedly told by Ahmed that it was just a CLOCK – but dedmanded getting a "broader explanation" from the Muslim teen:

If you're told the item is a clock …

If it ticks like a clock …

If it tells time like a clock …

Then it's probably a clock!

BUT if your name is Mohamed …

AND you're brown-skinned

Then, of course, it's a BOMB!

And two extremely important questions for the Irving school authorities and police:

If you thought it was a bomb, why didn't you evacuate the high school?

What "broader explanation" than "It's a clock" do you think was available?

For our Jewish friends observing Rosh Hashanah:

 L'shanah tovah tikatevu  

(May you be inscribed for a good year)

It's SoINeedAName posting.

I just thought the 9/3/15 "Personal Update" post was getting a bit unwieldy to manage and navigate for information with so many Comments, so I decided I'd try my hand at putting up two new posts:

[1] Dated Open Thread and

[2] Updates, Questions, Concerns WRT TC

This is my first try at WordPres – so I have no idea if it will even post.  If you think it's a bad idea, just ignore it, because I doubt that I can unpublish it.  It will NOT hurt my feelings one bit.
