                        “And how does this work again?”
                                        
So I decide to actually check out the links to the various cities I linked
to. [1] Why? Oh, depressed at the lost South Florida of my youth for one
thing. Idle curiousity for another.

So I check out the website for Margate. [2] I find the link to the proposed
elementary school boundaries [3] and my first thought is Oh my … the main
graphic looks like it was  faxed and then badly colorized before being
posted. And I still can't quite figure out the new boundaries for Coconut
Creek Elementary [4] (my old elementary school). But I can tell (I think)
from the badly faxed image that were I to start school now, living in the
place I did 22 years ago, I (and my friend Hoade) would be attending “O”
Elementary School.

Interesting.

Then I hit the bottom of the page. And I quote …

“If you do not have access to the internet, you may phone the Student Choice/
School Boundaries Department, at 954-XXX-XXXX.”

Um … if I don't have what?

Mind you, that isn't part of the rather faxish looking graphic either.

And then I notice the actual title on the page. Go on … I'll wait …

CHLORINE PURGE NOTICE?

I am so glad not to be in the school system anymore …
