Thoughts for the day

Blues sky, no snow stuck to the ground last night. Then just after noon, the sky was cloudy and it was lightly snowing. I hate Fake Spring.

In Special Elections, Republicans kept 2 House seats in Florida. No surprise.

Wisconsin Supreme Court now has a majority of liberal judges.

Sen. Cory Booker completed his 25 hour 5 min speech that slowed down the Senate. For me, the biggest take-away is that he broke Sen. Thurmond’s anti-civil rights speech of long ago. Strom’s was only 24 hours 17 minutes.

Kid Rock was in the oval office yesterday as Trump signed another Exec. Order that will help concert goer’s ticket prices. No one said Kid Rock was inappropriately dressed in his circus ringmaster outfit not being appropriate attire for the Oval Office. A real double standard.

I was supposed to have a haircut at 10, with the plumber coming at 11 this morning. Thankfully my stylist called about 9:30 to say she wouldn’t be in today. The plumber came and fixed the toilet mechanisms. Happy camper now.

Thoughts for the day

It is much cooler today than yesterday. The weather guy says there may be a little snow in the next few days. Just another Fake Spring the last few days.

It is windy again today…thankfully I live in an area with no sand in the wind.

Flag has had a radio news guy for the past 9 or so years. I first heard him when he was following a big fire. He also did live reports where he uploaded video to the internet on snowfall, fires, big accidents, and much more. He broadcast on the radio for all the high school sports games. He also did a morning summary on the news of Flagstaff that I listened to almost daily of the work week. The best local coverage I have seen for our town. Then Sunday he was caught in a sting operation, along with 21 others on soliciting children for sex. His bond is $100,000. It is quite a shock to his broadcast listeners.

 Random Thoughts…

v  Ursula the Sea Witch from ‘The Little Mermaid’ was inspired by drag queen Divine.

v    In Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Ben Stein’s economics lecture scene was completely improvised and done in one take.

v    The only domestic animal not mentioned in the Bible is the cat.

v    Aren’t all galaxies ‘far far’ away?
