My Sometimes-Long-Winded Thoughts
A nice fall
day…weather guy says snow on Sunday.
The Cards
beat the last place Saints. Maybe this will remind them of what a win feels like.
Liz Truss UK
PM resigned after only 44 days and leaves the UK is economic chaos.
Jeff Bezos
ex-wife, McKenzie Scott, gave the Girl Scouts $84 million. This certainly gives
them financial stability, but will the price of cookies continue to rise?
According to
internet business, too many customers are ordering multiple sizes or colors of
clothing and then retuning the ones that don’t fit or they don’t like. To put
an end to this, many businesses on the internet are going to start charging
their customers a return fee. I wonder if that will work?
Voting in
the news: The first FL voter charged with voting fraud has been thrown out of
court. Judge says he didn’t know he couldn’t vote, after the state gave him a
voter ID. Then in AZ, people are taking pictures of people putting ballots in
drop boxes, then following them to their vehicle and taking pictures of the
license plate. Some are even yelling ‘mules’ to the voters, suggesting they are
carrying other people’s ballots to mail in. This is crazy.

Superstitions
Seeing Your
Doppelgänger is a Bad Omen
Some people
believe that your doppelgänger—your "double walker," per the German
word's literal meaning—is an evil twin or even a harbinger of your impending
death.
They live among us
I live in a semi-rural area.
We recently had a new neighbor call the
local city council office to request the removal of the DEER CROSSING sign on
our road.
The reason: 'Too many deers are being hit
by cars out here! I don't think this is a good place for them to be crossing
anymore.'
