chilly but the blue sky and sunshine are great.
Thanks to a
reschedule of NFL games I got to watch an entire Broncos game on my TV. It didn’t

N. Korea isn’t
in the news much. A story yesterday caught my eye. Every year for the past few

discrimination against them because of their homeland. A sad report for sure.
