My Sometimes-Long-Winded Thoughts

Windy and chilly. No need to be out and about. I’m ready
for my last 2021 phlebotomy tomorrow. Depending on how long it takes, there
may not be a posting tomorrow. The AZ Cardinals
list to the Rams last night. The Cards
were not playing well. About 2
years ago one of my high school classmates and 3 others were killed in a bad
accident on I-70. It was in the paper. Stan’s death was a loss for many.
Yesterday the impaired driver was sentenced to 110 years. I hope his wife, family
and the others who lost family find some closure. Former NY
Gov. Cuomo has been ordered to return $5million + book profits. Of course, he
is appealing. As Ricky
Ricardo said to Lucy: You’ve got a lot of ‘splaining to do. I’m sure Fox News
is hearing that a lot today, after the texts that were released yesterday
from Jan. 6. |
