My Sometimes-Long-Winded Thoughts

I woke up to a cold morning…6°…then I turned on my computer and saw how cold it was in the Denver area…I got no complaints. By noon it was a blistering 25° in Flag. I’m glad I don’t have to go anywhere today.

The Washington Football team has finally announced their new mascot and name. They will now be known as the Washington Commanders.  The internet was quick to point out their ‘nickname’ may or should be the ‘Washington Commies’. That should not stick.

Another ISIS leader is found and kills himself during raid. I find it interesting that the media doesn’t tell us about these ‘leaders’ and their attacks before they are captured and/or killed. The US gov’t also seems very tight lipped on the identity of the leaders until they are captured and/or killed. Is it to keep the leaders believing that no one knows who they are?

I don’t watch The Masked Singer and I have no desire to start now. I do find it strange and a tad creepy that Rudy Giuliani was one of the contestants. As they say, ‘any press coverage is better than no press coverage.’
