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.
