When I was in high school I got to be part of a special project at the big Natural History Museum in Los Angeles -- behind the scenes, getting to go in doors for "authorized personnel only" and see stuff that nobody else got to. Sorry that you just can't do the "museum" without the politics that go along with it.

You certainly are going the extra mile for it, and I am hoping that it pays off with those government officials.

Although our county is also small (less that twenty thousand) our commissioner's and school boards do the best they can with the limited funds available.

Squeaky wheels do get the grease. Art funds were also cut before any sports funds. I have found today that the music room is the hottest. It is a toss up on all the others. The lunchroom is in the new wing so I got to dry off my clothes a little. Politics is such a continue power play by those who really don't know or care in general about doing the right thing.L.

They need some educating. You have done so much already for the Museum and such a shame that you have to suffer excessive heat and cold doing it. I hope that there will be some progress in your negotiations with them.

The phone company customer service person sounds typical. "Sorry, I can't help you. Let me talk to my supervisor". What a waste. Good luck on getting the refund.
