My Sometimes-Long-Winded Thoughts

 

 

Keeps getting cooler and cooler every night. Fall is crisp.

Saw an interesting video on CNN. Fox News on air is anti-mask most of the time. CNN got a video showing the taping of one of their daily programs. Everybody behind the camera was masked up. Hmmm.

Doing laundry and vacuuming today. Neither is a favorite.

Kyrsten Sinema is in her first session and is our senior Senator. Mark Kelly was elected after her. She ran as a moderate. Her recent actions do not match that. I get that she is not for the big spending bill. What is hard to understand is what figure would make her happy. She won’t say. Not my idea of a good Senator, a good Democrat, or a good leader.

Cardinals looking good in first half against the Rams. Broncos ahead after 1st Q. Good football day so far.
