My Sometimes-Long-Winded
Thoughts

Nice
fall day. I did a quick grocery run this morning. Sheriff Joe
Arpaio was an ultra-conservative sheriff in Maricopa County…Phoenix. Lots of
lawsuits, mostly on racial profiling, were filed during his tenure that ended
in 2016. Arizona has just paid out $100million to settle most of the lawsuits.
My AZ tax dollars at work. The AZ
Cards lost to the Packers in a close game last night. They are still NFL
leaders in wins at 7-1. Biden
and the Pope met today, and the photo op had smiling faces. The Pope also met
with Obama and Trump during their administrations. For
readers who have DST, turn back you clocks Sat. night. So nice to live in a
place that doesn’t change time. I’ve been waking up to darkness the last few
weeks, and it is dark before 6pm. Just a nature intended. |
