Today’s Thoughts
Weather
guy says cooler temps and monsoon return tomorrow. Sure hope so.
The
hurricane has hit land in Florida. Lots of damage. Very sad. I heard from one friend
in Florida, and she is doing OK. Haven’t heard from a few others in Florida. Hoping
all is well
Giuliani
concedes he made inflammatory statements in the Georgia Elections Officials lawsuit.
Rudi already owes the two workers $90,000 in damages and may have that
increased. This case still isn’t over.
Sen.
Mitch McConnell had another ‘episode’ today. It is time he sees a physician and
tells his constituents what he knows about what is happening. The same holds
for Sen. Feinstein.

classic wiener on a bun, Americans eat some 7 billion hot dogs every summer (from Memorial Day to Labor Day), loving
every last bite.
