My Sometimes-Long-Winded Thoughts

 

Chilly and windy day. Picked up my CPAP supplies and got the oil changed. I needed to wait while they had to go to a store for a cabin filter. It took about 45 minutes for the whole service, and they apologized and gave me a 10% discount. Nice! AZ is 48th in Child Obesity. Good There is a big strike at John Deere. My aunt worked in their office for a few years after she left the Ford Office. When Trump fired FBI leader McCabe, I felt his pain. He was only one day from being eligible for full retirement. Due to the firing, he got nada, zilch. McCabe went through the proper procedures and now is getting his full retirement. Good for him. It looks like Clinton is out of ICU and on his way home after an infection. More good news.
