... and speaking of finials ...
When the deck was built in 1988, I commented to the builder about the finials that were put atop all the main vertical railing supports. You know... these things:

He said that they were "finials that say 'Welcome'!!!".
I said that they provided overflow seating for 15!!!

1. New York
> Spending per pupil: $19,076
> Total education spending: $59.2 billion (2nd highest)
> Pct. with high school diploma: 85.0% (16th lowest)
> Median household income: $55,246 (16th highest)
The New York school system spent far more per pupil than any state in the country. The state spent $13,287 per pupil on teaching in
fiscal 2011 — more than double the national average — and was the only state to spend more than $10,000 a student on student
instruction. A good portion of that money, $8,196 per student, went to pay for teachers’ wages and salaries. This was the highest of
any states’ school systems. Total education expenditure continues to rise in the state, which has been the number one spender on
education per pupil since 2006. The amount spent per student has risen by at least 2.5% in each of the past five years. This relatively
large spending on students, however, has not necessarily paid off in terms of high test scores. The percentage of students proficient in
math in both fourth grade and eighth grade was worse than the United States as a whole.
I just LOVE paying school taxes.
I wonder what the chances are of only people who have spawn currently in the system to be the ones solely responsible for school taxes???
Zero to non-existant, Bear.
