Toddle Inn breakfast tortilla

After mailing our Iowa state tax return, I stopped off at a crowded Toddle Inn for a breakfast tortilla, sending my travel nurse wife the above photo. 

Ana, currently in Nevada, answered quickly:

Analie Barton

"Oh my. I love the Toddle Inn, the hot chocolate and the pork chops.  Now, I miss it there so badly."

On my phone while eating, I noticed that blogger Jerry McHale had run one of my articles, but intentionally misspelled a word in his headline:

  "TSC TRUSTEES CALL A TEMPORARY TRUCE IN REVOLUTINARY WAR!!!"

Jerry McHale

Now, the clever old bastard, a teacher for over 40 years, knows how to spell "revolutionary," but he was hoping one of his former ESL students would catch the error.

Teachers never stop teaching.

As for the TSC Board of Trustee election being a "war," I'm not sure.

Someone, likely Board Chair Adela Garza, recruited candidates to run against Place 6 and 7 incumbents J.J. De Leon and Eva Alejandro and both are actively campaigning to retain their positions, but are not exactly the "Masters of War" Dylan scolded in 1962-63.

Edward Camarillo

One of the candidates recruited to replace De Leon, Edward Camarillo, recently, along with two siblings, oversaw the closing of Incarnate Word Academy, a Catholic institution in operation for 175 years.  

Camarillo told parents during the closing announcement, that he would help their offspring relocate:

"I realize this is not the direction we want to take, but I will do everything necessary to help ensure that you each end up where you need to be," Camarillo said.

Anyway, that school's closing freed up Camarillo to be approached about running for TSC trustee opposite De Leon. (We've been promised more information on this story and await that report.)
