My Sometimes-Long-Winded Thoughts

Cloudy with some very light snow.  It’s OK because it’s winter. It is a quick storm with no measurable snow.

The Cardinals lost last night. Thankfully Budda has been released from the hospital is on his way back to AZ.

I had lunch with Andy and Faith. We planned to go to the Mongolian Grill, but it was closed ‘due to staff shortage’, so we ended up at Wildflower.  Good food, good conversation.

The 5G controversy continues. There has been way too much advertising and not enough coverage of the science. I expected better from Verizon and AT&T and from my government.

I read an article about the National Western Stock Show happening in Denver. As a kid, my dad worked at Armour. That meant we went to the stock show every year, got good seats for the rodeos, and spent way too many hours looking at cattle and hogs when Armour had entries. Great memories all the same.
