Today’s Thoughts
Chilly
morning is warming up nicely.
The
Broncos beat the Bills in the last few seconds.
I
am happy the Supreme Court addressed Ethic Rules brought to light by the American
citizens. I am not happy that the ‘rules’ of the SC did not put any procedures
to investigate or punish wrong doers. I respect the SC but they are not above
scrutiny.
Interesting:
Texas A&M has fired the Head football coach. The coach now gets $77 million
for the broken contract. What a Golden Parachute.

Words pronounced

You'd
think there wouldn't be discord on what seems to be an easy word. Southerners
have one of two ways to pronounce the word, either as 'pin' or like 'pyen.' The
North and other regions typically pronounce it just like it should be, as
'pen.'
Random Trivia…
Dancing
in the Dark©pinterest
To
many of us, the tango comes across as one of the classiest and most elegant
styles of ballroom dancing. I mean, if you're anything like me, the name itself
conjures up an image of two dark and glamorous strangers pulling graceful moves
in a dimly-lit, exotic club. But the origins of the dance are not exactly
classy.
In
the early days, the tango was often used by Argentinian intimacy-industry
professionals in order to seduce men into becoming clients.
