Today’s Thoughts
Cool
morning with a tad more wind than I like.
Football:
Texas beat Cards, Broncos beat Vikings. Broncos’ win came with a touchdown with
1.08 left.
Former
First Lady Roslyn Carter passed at 96 after 77 years of marriage. Mrs. Carter did
amazing things for the betterment of the world. She did everything with her
husband. She will be missed.
60
Minutes did a great report on Alabama descendant of slave-owning family on what
they are doing for former slave descendant families. Worth a watch: https://www.cbsnews.com/60-minutes/
and scroll forward to 42:00 point if you don’t want to see the whole program.
When
I saw the headline in today’s news that it is Joe Biden’s 81st birthday
I thought of my friends who are over 80. All are moving a little to a lot more
slowly than in their 70’s, aare active to fairly active and are enjoying their
retirement…even with their new infirmities. Each one of the dozen or so people
have no desire to return to daily employment. Why does Biden want to continue?

Shopping
carts are a staple of every grocery store, and most Northerners call
them shopping carts. Southerners, on the other hand, call them 'buggies.'
