My Sometimes-Long-Winded Thoughts
Blue sky,
cool…a nice winter day.
I headed out
this morning to pick up our Great Decisions handbook for 2022. Looks like we
are ready for another year of very good discussions.
Biden alerts
8500 American troops that Ukraine may be in their view very soon. This is
against the 100K Russian troops near the border. Diplomacy must work.
Hong Kong
has been through a lot the last few months. Now, many Chinese are trying to
leave the area with their pets. After
the culling of thousands of hamsters, many believe next will be furry pets like
dogs and cats. Most Chinese airlines do not allow ‘service animals’ on their
flights, so renting a personal jet is the only way out for many rich Chinese
with their pets. Very sad.

A bit of Humor
My dog is
obsessed with chasing people on bikes.
I’m honestly
just impressed he can ride a bike.
