Today’s Thoughts
Lots
of clouds, fair amount of wind. No moisture.
Our
group, Mary, Mike, Faith, Andy &I had lunch at our favorite Chinese Place
here in Flag. Good conversation, great food, fun time.
The
Biden/Xi meeting seems to have opened some doors to easing relations. Trust AND
Verify.
Rep
Santos says he will not run again, just after the House Ethics Committee suggested
expulsion.
He
hopes that will prevent expulsion. He just needs to be expelled and suffer the
consequences of his actions.
Lots
of news organizations are saying Putin is releasing convicted murderers to
fight in Ukraine with freedom if they survive. I find that inhumane.
Enjoy

Historic Events

– The Suez Canal opened.
On
November 17, 1968, an NFL game between the Oakland Raiders and the New York
Jets ended with a Raiders win, 43 to 32. That happened by 7:07 PM. The problem
was, NBC has scheduled and RAN the movie Heidi at 7:00. There was still over a
minute left to play, and the TV audience never got the chance to see two Raider
Touchdowns in just 65 seconds. #heidigame #heidibowl
