This past Monday, teachers and staff at A.C.E. Language Institute at SPU were treated to an unexpected visit from A.C.E. alumni Ayano from Japan and Ramona from Romania! In the months that have passed since Ayano and Ramona graduated from A.C.E. Level 6, both of these star students have moved onto exciting new ventures.
Ayano has returned to Japan last summer to continue her undergraduate studies. While visiting with her former teachers at the A.C.E. office, she confessed, "Before I studied at A.C.E., I was afraid to argue. But after I learned to debate at A.C.E., now I feel confident to debate in my classes." Ayano hopes to come back and visit us again in the future.
Ramona still lives in Seattle with her husband. She shared that, "[they] love Seattle, so we extended our stay here." She spends her time volunteering, and has plans to pursue a Master's in communications at the University of Washington in the future.
We are very excited to have our alumni return to A.C.E. and visit with us. Keep in touch and see you next time!

Sometimes the best way to learn is by doing. That is just what the Community Involvement Class from A. C. E. at MSU in Bozeman did in Fall 2014. Not only did these international students learn about food security issues and the local food bank, they actively participated in the Montana State University food drive by collecting over 150 pounds of canned goods from other A.C.E. students and staff. What pleasure they brought to the director of Gallatin Valley Food Bank when the class traveled to the food bank to deliver the last box of food personally! Intently, the international students listened to a food bank employee give them the grand tour and observed the power of a small, volunteer organization to serve its community.
By hosting and funding their own party, the students in the community involvement class encouraged other A.C.E. students and staff to learn more about the food bank and to donate canned goods. Yousei, a student from Japan, encouraged other international students when he said, "The people in Bozeman often hold a party for international students and help us. This is a great opportunity to give it back to the community. We hope to see you all at our Food Donation Party."
Furthermore, they used and expanded their English skills to research the local volunteer service organizations on the web, present orally and in writing what they learned, make announcements in other A.C.E. classes, write emails and thank you notes to the food bank, and to create informational posters for the A.C.E. classrooms. Students reported that the opportunity to participate and tour the food bank was a meaningful life learning experience as well. One student shared that she had volunteered in her home country and had wanted to become involved at MSU. The Community Involvement class gave her just the "push" she needed to get out there and find a way to give back to her new "community" in Bozeman. Another student indicated he hoped to take back to his country what he had learned about helping those in need.
Wonder what it was like to attend A.C.E.'s food donation party? Take a look at our student's perspective video, here!

Leafs Cupboard Is Bare

from the The Spin, the blog of Damien Cox of the Toronto Star,
Can't say this is a bad trade for the Leafs, and can't say its a good one that will help significantly. It certainly shouldn't be heralded as any great achievement, for having to move McCabe is really a sign of failure for both the team and player after he was signed to his lucrative contract and managed to play out only two of the five years in Toronto before finding it impossible to play in Toronto any longer. Mike Van Ryn is four years younger and the Leafs gain some salary cap flexibility, although with the club's payroll now at $46 million and the cap at $56.7 million there didn't seem to be an urgent need to chop salary.
It's the final nail in the coffin of the comfy cartel that was the Muskoka Five, but more than anything, its another piece of intriguing evidence on the manner in which the Leafs have struggled terribly to manage assets in the post-lockout era.

McCabe Heads To Florida

from Mike Zeisberger of the Toronto Sun,
McCabe leaves for south Florida today, where he already has located a home in the same beach-side community where former Maple Leaf teammate Wade Belak lives. McCabe's daughter, Stevie, the oldest of two young children, starts school there tomorrow.
Sounds like a man looking to make a new start, doesn't it?
The main roadblock to the consummation of the deal will evaporate today when McCabe receives the $2 million signing bonus owed him by the Leafs. Because today is a holiday, a morning conference call between the involved parties is scheduled for tomorrow morning after which an official announcement is expected.

Leafs Continue Rebuilding Project

from the CP via the Toronto Star,
There could be as many as 10 new faces in the Maple Leafs lineup on opening night. Fletcher is pleased with the changes he's made but is keenly aware that they won't change one fundamental rule of pro sports.
"Trying to build a team can't be fast-tracked," he said Tuesday.
Fletcher is currently enjoying a rare period of quiet and noted that news from around the NHL has fallen almost completely silent of late.
That includes any news from veteran Maple Leafs Mats Sundin (considering retirement) and Bryan McCabe (considering waiving his no-trade clause).
"There's nothing new as we're talking today," said Fletcher.

From Damian Cristodero at Lightning Strikes,
It has been seven years since Lightning superstar Vinny Lecavalier almost was traded to the Maple Leafs, and when I say almost, I mean it. Former Lightning president Ron Campbell, who on Friday was named a senior adviser to the new ownership group spoke at length for the first time about what almost went down in December 2001.
Campbell has been credited with stopping the deal that would have brought Nik Antropov, Tomas Hoglund, Tomas Kaberle and either then-prospect Brad Boyes or a first-round draft choice.
"I didn't stop the trade, per se," Campbell said. "I stopped the conference call."

Finger Knows The Pressure Is On
by Paul on 08/22/08 at 08:19 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Mike Zeisberger of the Toronto Sun,
Even as he summered on Michigan's Upper Peninsula, Finger was well aware he was being ripped by some parties in Toronto, his new hockey home.
So be it. In fact, despite having not played a single game as a Maple Leaf as of yet, he understands where the naysayers are coming from.
"Of course I paid attention to what was going on," Finger said. "Some people might say the criticism of me is unfair but I wouldn't. I can see why some things would be said about me. I'm coming from the Western Conference. I've played fewer than 100 NHL games in my career…."

The Summer Of Mark Bell
by Paul on 08/21/08 at 10:05 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Mike Zeisberger of the Toronto Sun,
Surrounded by drug addicts, wife-beaters and other convicted felons, Mark Bell quietly picked up pieces of garbage out of the tall grass under the sweltering California summer sun.
It was, he admits, as far removed from the pampered lifestyle of the National Hockey League as you could get.
For 11 weeks this was Mark Bell's life. Every morning, he would report to a California correctional facility to learn of that day's assignment. It might be cleaning up litter. Or it could involve landscaping duties. Whatever dirty job he was assigned, he did it.
"It humbles you," Bell said yesterday. "It gives you humility. More than anything else, that is probably the biggest change in me."

The Other Part Of The Florida-Toronto Deal

from George Richards at On Frozen Blog,
Story is, Mike Van Ryn is for sure going to Toronto, Bryan McCabe coming back….
Florida and Toronto are still talking about other stuff, and it appears someone is going with Ryno to Toronto. But, it won't be anything major. Perhaps Radek Dvorak, maybe a younger player who is on the roster bubble. Forget reports that Stephen Weiss or David Booth would be traded. That's not happening. Same goes for Jay Bouwmeester.

McCabe Considering Options
by Paul on 08/14/08 at 06:34 PM ET
Comments (0)
from David Shoalts of the Globe and Mail,
Cliff Fletcher is hopeful the Bryan McCabe situation will be resolved "by early September," but he brushed aside a report the Toronto Maple Leafs have a deal in place with the Florida Panthers once the defenceman agrees to a trade.
"There is nothing going on right now," Fletcher, the Leafs interim general manager said on Thursday. "Bryan McCabe is considering what options he has."
added 5:20pm, via Sportsnet,
Sportsnet's Nick Kypreos has learned that the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Florida Panthers have a deal in principle to trade defenceman Bryan McCabe.
Sources say that as part of the deal, the Leafs would get Panthers defenceman Mike Van Ryn.
A delay in the announcement is linked to the Leafs willingness to pick up a $2 million bonus McCabe is due on September 1st. After the payment is made only then will the transaction be accepted by the NHL.
added 7:05pm, from George Richards of the Miami Herald,
Florida Panthers general manager Jacques Martin would not comment on various reports coming out of Toronto that Florida was close to acquiring Maple Leafs defenseman Bryan McCabe….
''You know I don't comment on rumors,'' Martin said from his office in Sunrise. ``If I did, that's all I would do.''

Seattle may be in trouble for Owens' 1st practice
RENTON, Wash. (AP)
The Seattle Seahawks said Thursday they violated the NFL's collective bargaining agreement by allowing Terrell Owens to practice in shoulder pads during his first on-field practice.
The team said it unintentionally committed the violation and that Owens should have just been in a shell and not shoulder pads during his debut practice on Wednesday.
League spokesman Greg Aiello said in an email that the league is gathering facts. The Fort Worth Star-Telegram first reported the possible violation.
The CBA states that players have a three-day acclimation period during the preseason after signing: ''Day 1 is for the physical and meetings. Day 2 and 3 the player may participate, but only in helmet and shells or a padded shirt. Day 4 and for the rest of camp is in full pads.''
Owens signed Monday, making it his first day. He attended meetings and a walkthrough on Tuesday and was in full pads for Wednesday's practice.
It's unclear if the team will face any discipline.

In 2008, I started working for the Archdiocese of St. Louis, my first job where I ended up working on Drupal sites practically full-time (my first Drupal experience was on 4.x in 2005). I also started Midwestern Mac, LLC in 2008, and from that time to now have built two SaaS services (Hosted Apache Solr and Server Check.in), and over 100 other Drupal 6 and Drupal 7 sites, along with a few mobile apps and a Mac app (Quick Resizer).
In 2011, I moved on to Flocknote, and learned a lot building a Drupal-based communications platform used by more than half a million people. This was also a full-time remote job, and I worked with a small but very strong team from Texas, Missouri, Florida, and Tennessee.
In 2013, I went to Mercy and worked on a major intranet migration (Drupal 6 to Drupal 7) and Mercy.net, the hospital system's patient-facing site, which runs on Drupal 7.
I am proud to have worked with all the individuals and companies these past few years, and am indebted to all of them for the support and professional development they've offered—each in a unique way. Throughout my work, I have had the good fortune to be able to learn other languages, tools, and techniques, even to the point of writing a book on Ansible! I have also become a husband and father, and been able to do some great things in my Church, my community, and the Drupal community.
This year, I'm moving to Acquia! Acquia is one of the largest Drupal service providers, and I'll be working in the Professional Services group as a Technical Architect. In this new role, I'll be able to help even more organizations do amazing things with Drupal. I've only been to Acquia's Boston HQ once, but I already feel like a part of the team, as I've been in numerous Hangouts and chats (I'll be working remotely from St. Louis—new home-office-building project, yay!).
To all my co-workers at Mercy: thanks for the great time and fun projects we've worked on together. Keep fighting for the users! To my new co-workers at Acquia: I'm excited to join you guys, and look forward to seeing you starting October 6!
I feel like a broken record... yet again, I was perusing the Internet (this time, Twitter), and then I noticed an illustration—a very familiar one—of the Roman collar (the white collar worn by priests):
A great peace always came over me when I saw the Roman Collar, a rep of the high priest, Jesus Christ, was present pic.twitter.com/9qH5VghciI

@Boutleg didn't create the graphic; it looks like uCatholic originally posted the graphic on Facebook, where it was shared and reshared thousands of times, and liked (through that network of shares) many thousands of times.
Regardless, that graphic is the logo of the Priestie Boyz, and was lifted directly off the home page:
As I've stated in my previous post on this topic, Catholics are NOT excused from licensing or copyright law. Besides the fact that I would've immediately given permission for the image's use if a tag were added to the graphic attributing the source, I spent a lot of time working on that graphic, getting the curves just right, taking a bunch of different photos to get a good angle to distinctly show the collar, and a bit of money on Adobe Illustrator, which was used to create the vector artwork.
Please, please, please attribute sources (at a minimum), and ask image and photo owners for permission before spreading them around, especially on social media, where proper attribution is a very tricky business!
Between writing a book on Ansible, coaching volleyball at De Smet, preparing presentations for STL.JS and DrupalCon, and—lest I forget the most important responsibility of all—being a loving father and husband (see photo below!), I haven't had more than a minute to spare for writing for this blog, or processing some of the fun photos I've taken of ducks, deer, a fox, or feral cats running around our house!
Even with the bustle, I feel more calm now than I have for a while. Last year, at this time, I was in the hospital suffering from a terrible bout of mono (which attacked me while my immune system was being suppressed by one of my Crohn's-related drugs!). That experience gives me perspective, and I try to remember the thoughts that were going through my head the night I was in the ICU, asking for my pastor to anoint me, just in case...
In the midst of the hustle and bustle of your life, remember your purpose, your dignity, and that you are in control of your stress, your worries, and your fears. Keep calm and carry on!
My sister's family just started a new St. Louis-area business, The Easy Chicken, providing resources to those interested in raising chickens in an urban or suburban environment.
There are some potentially difficult and time-consuming aspects to keeping chickens in an urban environment: acquiring chickens, seeking permits or licenses from particular municipalities, finding a source for feed, coops, and other materials, and finding reliable information about keeping chickens healthy. The Easy Chicken's tagline is Backyard eggs made easy, and they have the easy part nailed down, as they'll help anyone through all the different steps, and provide all the necessary supplies (including guaranteed-to-lay hens!).
Check out The Easy Chicken's website for much more information, and please pass along the link to anyone you know who might be interested in raising chickens and having some fresh eggs and fun, finely-feathered pets!
I mentioned this elsewhere (see: DrupalCon and DrupalCamp news), but I'll post here as well; I'm going to be speaking at both DrupalCon Austin and DrupalCamp St. Louis this year!
I've submitted a few sessions to DrupalCon Austin in the past, mostly surrounding the Honeypot module for Drupal, but this year, a session I submitted in the DevOps track was chosen: DevOps for Humans: Ansible for Drupal Deployment Victory!. I figured since I'm writing a book on Ansible, and I use Ansible to provision servers and do all the deployments for my Drupal sites, I might as well show other Drupal developers how easy it is to get started and how much you can do with Ansible!
I'll also be delivering two sessions at DrupalCamp St. Louis 2014, on April 26 in Clayton, MO (just outside of the city of St. Louis); one on Drupal 8 (a show-and-tell), and one on Server Check.in (a case study).
If you're a Drupalist, I hope to see you at one of these events!
Erik Dietrich's blog, Daedtech, contains a lot of great posts concerning programming and workplace dynamics. In today's post, Meetings and Introverts: Strangers in Strange Lands Erik writes about the vexing relationship between introverted people and typical meetings. In a prior post, he wrote about the general problem of social situations and introverts:
Social situations are exhausting for me because of their inherent unpredictability as compared to something like the feedback loop of a program that I'm writing (or even the easily curated, asynchronous interaction of a social media vehicle like Twitter).
Many extroverts are unaware that their introverted brethren feel this way. Social situations (parties, large informal gatherings, etc.) energize extroverts, so it's hard for them to realize the opposite usually happens for introverted people. At the end of a large party or a long, intense meeting, an introvert (like myself) is exhausted.
It's not that I don't like being in these situations—sometimes they're quite enjoyable. But as events progress, my energy gets sapped, sometimes to the point where I'm pretty tired, mentally and physically (e.g. non-productive for a couple hours at least). Once removed from the party, meeting, etc., energy slowly recharges.
Erik puts it succinctly:
Extroverts draw energy from social situations and become invigorated, while introverts spend energy and become exhausted. And, when I'm talking about social situations, I mean drinks and bowling with a group of friends. Introverts like me enjoy these nights but find them tiring.
Meetings, round-table discussions, pair programming sessions, and other kinds of interactions are often draining, and by my estimate, consume more than double the actual meeting time in terms of productivity loss (interrupting flow, sapping mental energy that could be used to work on other problems, etc.).
Often, meetings devolve into bike-shedding discussions (see: Parkinson's law of triviality) where the discussion starts focusing on minutiae, even after the 'official' meeting is complete. Everyone (especially the introverts, who aren't usually keen on being seen as rude and dismissing themselves) sticks around for the inevitable half-hour discussion, even if the meeting is officially over.
Erik's entire post is well worth a read (for anybody—not just introverts), but he sums up the ideal meeting format nicely:
Having reasoned analysis, cogent arguments, and a plan is the way to bring as much predictability (and, in my opinion, potential for being productive) to the table as possible. For me, it's also the way most likely to keep the day's meetings from sucking the life and productivity right out of you.
I'll add to that: keep it brief, and invite only the people who really need to be there. Do you really need an entire team to attend, or just one stakeholder who can represent the team, and get more feedback from the entire team later, if needed?

"Another great visit to crazy world of Sandman Slim"
This is turning out to be a great series. Stark has changed a lot, but remains much the same. He still does crazy stuff and takes huge risks, but for better reasons. It nice to see the growth of his character grow in a believable way while keeping his gritty punk edge.
As always, a couple chuckles, a couples grimaces and a couple moments of surprise. If your just seeing this series, start at the beginning. It is well worth the listen if you're into this genre.
I absolutely love the split God characters and the original Lucifer (sp?).
"Please sir, may I have another"
Good book. What you want and expect from OSC. Now lets have the next book!!

Editorial: Who will try for these positions?
Two years of marathon campaigning ended with last week's historic presidential election. We can be excused for claiming voter fatigue.
Elections? We're done with those for now, right?
Well, not quite. Believe it or not, just after Thanksgiving -- beginning Dec. 1 -- local citizens can pick up nomination papers to run for school board, city council and town of Kinnickinnic board (Kinnickinnic has a primary voting system like the city).

Anatoly Belilovsky was born in a city that went through six or seven owners in the last century, all of whom used it to do a lot more than drive to church on Sundays; he is old enough to remember tanks rolling through it on their way to Czechoslovakia in 1968.

He has neither cats nor dogs, but was admitted into SFWA in spite of this deficiency, having published stories in NATURE, Ideomancer, Immersion Book of Steampunk, Daily SF, Kasma, UFO, Stupefying Stories, Cast of Wonders, and other markets. He blogs about writing at http://loldoc.net/loldoc.net, pediatrics at belilovsky.com, and his medical practice web site is babydr.us.

I like the tracks Just Like Greta and The Lion This Time Again.
In summary it seems to me, as a mere consumer of music that Magic Time is an expression of Van Morrison feeling that he can express himself as he wishes.
If you can judge how well you like an album by how often you feel like listening to it, I'm on my 3rd try right now.
I loved it, just like I do, everything Van Morrison sings. Thank you for the great price for it too!Published 3 days ago by mariannesong

Hi: 9° Lo:2°
By Matthew Bates 08/08 Updated: 09/08 10:34
OVER £3 million-worth of debt was written off by Coventry City Council last year.
Bosses revealed the figure this week, which is an increase of around £200,000 on the previous year.
The figure has risen steadily over the past few years as the British economy struggles and last year saw business rate write offs shoot up from just £20,500 in 2010/11 to £1.98m in 2011/12.
Bosses blamed the rise on the significant number of businesses going bust due to the economic downturn, as well as a two-year delay in other write offs.
The amount written off in council tax fell by over £1m to £700,000 last year - an improved figure on recent years - but £427,000 was lost in benefit over-payments, more than double 2010's amount.
Helen Harding, assistant director of revenues and benefits, who penned a report to council, said: "All service areas have robust procedures and policies in place to ensure that every effort is made to recover debt owing to the council and that debt is written off only in prescribed circumstances.
"The council utilises a range of techniques to maximise the collection of corporate debt including tracing agencies, credit reference agencies, collection agents and legal processes.
"Each year the level of bad debt provision is reviewed based on the level of debt having been written off. This process ensures that the council's annual budget contains sufficient provision for the write-off of bad debt."

I am trying to develop a C++ application. Part of the Application is meant to create and initiate some properties of an Object and then store the object in a multi-dimensional array. Problem is after Object creation and storing the objects in the array, retrieving the Object values gives me pointers to NULL.
Please see code below for exact implementation:
Cell** TestMain::convertToMatrix(){
//char[] lengthArr = arra[0];
//int[][] temp
int rowCount = getCurrentRowCount(); // Gives the row count of the multi-dimensional array
int colCount = getCurrentColCount(); // Gives the column count of the multi-dimensional array
Cell** cellList;
cellList = new Cell*[rowCount];
for (int rowIter=rowCount-1;rowIter>=0; rowIter-- ){
cellList[rowIter] = new Cell[colCount];
for (int colIter=colCount-1;colIter>=0;colIter--) {
Cell *currentCell = new Cell(arra[rowIter][colIter],rowIter,colIter);
//Calculate weights
if (0==currentCell->getValue()) currentCell->setWeight(0);
if (1== currentCell->getValue()) {
if (isEdge(rowIter,colIter)) {
else {
//currentCell->setWeight(1 + getMinimumValue(cellList[rowIter+1][colIter]->getWeight(),cellList[rowIter+1][colIter+1]->getWeight(),cellList[rowIter][colIter+1]->getWeight() ) );
currentCell->setWeight(1 + getMinimumValue(cellList[rowIter+1][colIter].getWeight(),cellList[rowIter+1][colIter+1].getWeight(),cellList[rowIter][colIter+1].getWeight() ) );
cellList[rowIter][colIter] = *currentCell;
return cellList;
} `
Here is the code that performs the checking later in the code:
void StrawberryMain::printField(Cell** arrayOfCells) {
int row=0;
int column=0;
int maxRowCount= getCurrentRowCount();
int maxColCount = getCurrentColCount();
for (;row<maxRowCount;row++) {
Cell *cellArr = arrayOfCells[row];
for (;column<maxColCount;column++) {
Cell currentArrayCell = cellArr[column];
/*if (currentArrayCell==NULL){ // This line throws an error ->No match for 'operator==' in 'currentArrayCell == 0'. Why?
printf("Returned Pointer for Cell was NULL");
else { */
printf("%s(%s)|", currentArrayCell.getWeight(),currentArrayCell.getValue());
When I run the program I get a whole load of
nulls printed on my screen as output.( One null for every object supposed stored in the array
I come from a Java background ( although I have dabbled in QT C++ before) so I am a bit miffed why this is happening. As much as I would appreciate an answer I would value an explanation as to why this happens ( or a link which explains why this happens) as I really want to understand the workings of the Language.
Thanks in anticipation.

Two New Mexico Highlands University media arts students received $2,500 fellowships, thanks to the Seabury Foundation and a full match from the university's foundation.
Spring 2011 graduate Rianne Trujillo and junior Arianna Andreatta were tapped for the honor. They showcased their video projects May 12 at an awards presentation.
Joshua Garcia and six other northern New Mexico recipients were honored at a luncheon this month where they received the Pete Domenici Scholarship funded by Los Alamos National Laboratory.
Garcia, son of John and Ann Garcia, is a 2011 graduate of Mora High School. At the luncheon recipients had a chance to sit and visit with Domenici.
The students selected for the scholarship were chosen because of their outstanding academic achievement as well as outstanding leadership skills and community service.

A recent KFUN radio program that Jesus Lopez hosts had an old friend of mine as a guest. Willie Sanchez and I were students at New Mexico Highlands University together a long time ago.
This was the early 1950s when our veterans from both World War II and the Korean conflict returned and went to school via the G.I. Bill. They came to get a good and useful education so they could move on with their lives. Some of us younger students didn't have the same work and study habits they had. In other words, they came to get an education and they had little time to goof off.
Most of the West Las Vegas High School seniors were beaming with joy during their graduation ceremony this past Saturday, but the day was bittersweet for Stacy Romero.
Her father, Roy Ortiz, died in a car accident on May 1, the day after her senior prom.
"I was expecting him to be at my graduation," an emotional Romero said. After all, he had told her he would be there.
On Saturday morning, as she and her classmates were receiving their diplomas in the packed Gillie Lopez gymnasium, Romero's thoughts wandered to her father.

Chris Waffle cruises Ball Road, floating gently through his hometown, Cypress, on the marshmallowlike suspension of his sweet, sweet ride – a 1991 Buick LeSabre handed down to him from his grandmother.
As he drives, his left hand rests lightly on the steering wheel. Very lightly. Sometimes, only a thumb and index finger touch the wheel's curved edge. Meanwhile, his right hand touches nothing, fluttering above the faux-wood dashboard to help Waffle make a point about his driving skills, or lack thereof.
Suddenly, a car pulls from a parking lot into Waffle's lane. This prompts a momentary jerk of the wheel and (you can almost hear the gears turning in Waffle's head) an unspoken question — "Change lanes or stay put?" The answer is to stay, and Waffle hits the brakes hard and holds his lane.
"Whoops! Hello!" Waffle says, laughing.
"See, its other people, not me!"
Actually, Chris, it might be you.
Because that other guy? Maybe he should have let you pass by before pulling out; maybe not. But, either way, only one of you is a contestant on a new reality TV series, "America's Worst Driver." And that's you, Chris, not him.
"Everyone who drives with me makes fun of me, (but) I don't think I'm that bad," Waffle says, later, as he explains how he learned to drive – sort of – and years later ended up on the Travel Channel show.
"I thought, 'I'll show them!'" he adds.
"But halfway through the show, I started to think, 'Uh oh, maybe something IS amiss."
Waffle's adventures behind the wheel begin 20 years ago in a driver's training class at Cypress High School. He needed seven tries to pass the written test for a permit.
But the slip of paper did not mean he could operate a motor vehicle.
"I'd be, like, 10 minutes driving, and my parents would be like, 'Pull over, we're driving home."
A few years went by without Waffle getting an actual license. He tried to pass the driving test a few times, but failed. At 19, he was dependent on friends, his bicycle or his feet to get around town. Then, with encouragement from his then girlfriend, he went in for another try.
