No school for some Falcons fans

Might be tough for them being so upset sitting at home, they'd probably be better off just going to school to take their minds off the loss.


Oh really? I'm at the base in Bangor Maine and I've heard stories about Loring. Know some people that used to be stationed up there. I can only imagine going active duty and end up in friggin northern Maine lol...

It was actually a pretty good station for us. Tons of kids. Decent housing. All types of fields to play football, baseball etc.. during the summer and they had a nearby youth center, ski slopes and gymnasium for the winter. My father's family was down in NH so good to get a visit now and then.

Schools closed in October for potato picking season. So every year I would go out and pick potatoes twelve hours a day for fifty cents a barrel. Used to bring home about fifteen bucks a day.

Funny story. My father was nearing retirement and requested to go back to Loring so that he could retire close to home. He ended up as a first shirt for the TDY airmen that came to Loring for temporary duty. One winter day the temps were well below freezing and one of his TDY guys called him and asked for a ride to work. Apparently the airman had decided to bypass the defrost option in his car by dumping a bucket of hot water on his windshield and it shattered. hahahaha

But yeah the winters could get brutal at times. Good times though.

Lol I've heard that is still a thing up there from some classmates from up north. Hah and what an idiot, that's too funny.

If the lose do they get a safe space with a full supply of coloring books and Play Dough?

Makes for a longer day if you end up losing though. Don't we know it.

Ahh yes, must be nice to get school canceled for the Super Bowl. Got lucky two years ago up in NH we got the day after off but it was because it snowed 7 inches that Monday morning.

A day off and trophies for all of them!

There will be a special section in the AJC

I gotta work the morning after but there is a chance of a storm that would be bad enough to cancel the group that would be coming to my work for the day.

Related slightly, Kraft Heinz company announced they are giving office employees the day after sb off in lieu of a sb ad. They opted not to run a $5m wiener dog ad.
