We’re about to have a statewide teacher walkout on Monday here in Oklahoma. I support the teachers and for as long as it takes to get a well deserved and desperately overdue improvement in working conditions and quality of life.

Upswing for me, this strike is likely to last quite a long time. Which means the school year will resume as soon as the strike is over, possibly delaying the start of next school year and potentially delaying the summer vacation after that. Which means I can actually go to the water park without a ton of people or lines.
