My Sometimes-Long-Winded Thoughts
A little
windy. Clouds keep coming in, blowing out, coming in and blowing out again.
Crazy.
I stopped at
Walgreen’s Drive Thru for a script. One car was leaving the window with only
one other car waiting. The passenger couldn’t find her purse, so we waited for
her to find her credit card for the script. Something didn’t work, so search by
driver and passenger for another card. As cars lined up behind me, I was boxed
in. I waited a total of 20 minutes before I could get to the window. Got my
script and drove home. When will I learn that drive-thru is not a time saver?
January 6,
2021 was the ‘event’ at the Capitol Building. Sadly, our country is still
divided as to what actually happened. So far, the House Committee has interviewed,
released many documents, and still has changed very few minds. The anniversary only reminds us all how
divided our once great country is. Sad.
The
President of the Navajo Nation has just signed the bill that will bring the 2nd
relief checks to the Navajo people. Good news for them.

Why did the
Alaskan man name his dog Frost?
Because Frost bites.
