Today’s Thoughts
Cloudy,
expecting rain later.
I’m
not expecting a lot of rain today, but every little bit helps.
Georgia
put a $200,000 bond on Trump. I’m sure his supporters will fund that.
Hilary
brought flash flooding to Death Valley, CA. Even the weather people were
surprised.
Six
students and 2 adults were rescued from a dangling cable car, stuck about 900’
above the ground. They were on there way to school in the Pakistan mountains.

Unique National
Treasures for the US …
Known as the King of Pop
Culture, Doug is not your average pooch. He’s a New York Times best-selling
author (with “momager” Leslie Mosier)
and social media star whose millions of adoring fans follow his pizza-eating,
world-traveling adventures on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat. When
he’s not chowing down, Doug makes appearances on the Today show, Billboard’s Hot
100 Festival and the CMT Music Awards. And Doug leaves celebs starstruck
too—he’s taken selfies with everyone from Justin
Bieber to the cast of The
Big Bang Theory—but he still loves a good nap more than anything.
Random Trivia…
