One of the things I admired about my first husband was the fact that he quit the Air Force Academy. He made good grades, he was physically fit*, he had no trouble with the rigor–it was the underlying wrongness of the place that he just couldn’t take. They make it very difficult for someone to leave–it takes far less courage to stay.

*He was fit when he got there. He broke his back playing football for them. Go, team.

I wouldn’t be too quick to rule out all of Colorado. The peak is situated just behind the Air Force Academy, otherwise known as the breeding grounds for assertive republicans.

But remember that the 19th century board only recommended. It was the 20th legislature which mandated.

Nooooo! You are not wrong, Kelsey. It’s the fucking 19th century fuckers who were so petrified of apostrophes that they decided to make everything into a goddamn plural–they’re the ones who were wrong! Motherfucking motherfuckers.

I’m going back to France.

Of course, the ruling came in the 19th century. Motherfuckers.
