My Rambling Thoughts
Watched
football with friends yesterday. Good company, good conversation, happy for the
Cards win, not happy about the Broncos.
Our
HOA is having our parking lot re-sealed. Looks good but vehicle must be parked
a block away until 6p. They put flyers on our doors and on all the vehicles
twice before this morning. Still they had to tow 5 vehicles from our ‘parking
by permit only’ area. Guess they didn’t read the flyer…and that is costing them
$150 + $50/day fee at the tow place. Hmmm
Industrialize
the Amazon? I was just in the Peru portion, and that is sad indeed. So many Indigenous
tribes as well as animals and flora will be destroyed in Brazil.
Sad
to hear 45 say that the Synagogue should have had armed guards, even though
armed SWAT were wounded in the crazy attack. He says so much without thinking.
Also, sad that Press Secretary said the press who are enemies of the people
know who they are, and she isn’t naming them, while admitting that it is not
all of the press or even not all in any one news corporation is the enemy. WTH?
The unseen enemy always creates the greatest fear. I guess that is what she
wants.
