Saturday has arrived and it’s graduation day for Shannon. 4 years of hard work has paid off for her and she will receive her diploma this morning, a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Political Science with an option in Legal Studies and an emphasis in Paralegal Studies. The downside? She will be an adult; no longer a student with hopes and dreams, but an adult with responsibilities. But with her attitude and work ethic, it will also be a time of great promise for her. She does “responsibility” well.
After today’s ceremonies, the city of Chico will sleep in the summer sun for 3 months. No students making headlines in the local paper, traffic will calm down, and going downtown to window shop will be an option once again.
The weather is going to be great for this memorable day, cool and cloudy. The high temperature will be 75° and there is a 30% chance of showers. Normally the audience bakes in the sun for a couple of hours while an interminable list of names is read and diplomas received. I might even be able to be hatless today.
I can report that my cat slept most of the day after her night long adventure. The fact that it was raining yesterday kept her inside the garage and out of trouble.
The news? I haven’t seen much worth commenting on, except for a cheesy photo-op picture of Bush riding around the desert in a Border Patrol dune buggy. I’m actually surprised that he didn’t stop, raise his hands in the air and declare, “Mission Accomplished!”
