Thoughts for the day

A great spring day.

MRI went off without a hitch this time. Happy Camper.

Last night I get a call for a tele-town hall with Rep. Eli Crane. It only lasted about 20 minutes. He answered about 5 questions from supporters and dodged the one call from a non-supporter. There is now no question that my Rep is a total Trump guy. Lesson learned.

CNN had the Trump cabinet meeting live. All these people have been in their jobs about 2-3 months. Yet, each member started their comments with several sentences on how happy they are to be working with Trump the Great. Then they listed the Trump initiatives that they are working on…always being sure to mention Trump in almost every sentence. I have attended many meetings with my various bosses and his/her staff. As new members are introduced, most say how grateful they are to be working in their new job. Then the business of the meeting commences. Trump’s cabinet has never moved on from that initial meeting with the boss. I was not impressed, but did realize most of the Secretaries would not be there with any other human on the planet. Disheartened to say the least. 

Trivia for all

 



 


Random Thoughts…

v  Pound cake got its name from its original recipe, which called for a pound each of butter, eggs, sugar, and flour.

v  Viewed from the scale of the entire universe, the speed of light is incredibly slow. So slow that, from that perspective, everything in existence is essentially motionless.

v  Olivia Wilde – Real Name: Olivia Jane Cockburn

v  Car alarms are no longer effective. Instead of assuming someone is breaking into a car I naturally assume some idiot accidentally clicked his button.

v  My total at Seven-Eleven today was $7.11. I feel like I should have won a prize or something.
One galactic year (our solar system around the Milky way) is 250 million Earth years. Earth is 4.5 billion years old. Earth is only 18 galactic years old!
