Setting Scout Prints

I've been scouting new locations for the strip. Great. We can certainly use some. Have you found anything exciting so far? Yes. A bench on the other side of the park. It has a trash can in the background.

'Do you think, perhaps, that we could start shooting for a few longer-term goals around here?'

"Approaching 10,000 steps."

"Class of 2008, never let the excuse 'I can't find my pants' stand in the way of your dreams."

'You just don't know when to give up, do you?'

"Alright! Whoa! Yes! More boiled food!"

'When I was a Scout, we had to blaze trails without sticky notes.'

'Listen Sonny, I don't want or NEED to get to the other side!'

'Well, Scout Smith, escort the little old lay across the street.'

"Because he's illiterate. That's why I have to read to him all the time."

"This year I resolve to embrace change."

'One of the first rules, kids, be sure to watch where you step.'

"Colin kept the bar fairly low."

"One day, I'll be the first woman!"

"Do you ever feel like you were meant for something else?"

'The Torch Holder'.

'We don't know what it is but it was in the sale so we thought we'd better get one before they sold out.'

Targets.

'Long term I want student achievement to increase. Short time I want a cup of coffee and a biscotti.'

The probability of an event occurring is inversely proportional to its desirability.
