Temperature is in the 30's, but sitting in the brilliant sun with SuZee, it feels like it's 80! 

This morning was interesting.  Somehow, I didn't get included in the email that canceled the meeting that I showed up for.  So I had my own personal little meeting. (Like Jefferson dining alone?)

After my meeting, and after almost getting clobbered by an impatient car driver, I found            Books A Million, in the Town Mall... and was able to get Life is Short (No Pun Intended)  by the "Little People" that Elaine loves to follow on TV. 

Next, I bought a lottery ticket for Elaine... as a chance to win about a half a billion dollars.  The odds are a little high..  perhaps 350 million to one.  Good luck to her.

Funny Movie

Yesterday, Elaine and I watched the latest movie version of The Producers.  Marvelous!  I wonder what the Germans think about this movie.  Can they see how silly all that Nazi stuff was?  Whenever I hear Mr. Trump speak, I'm reminded of things that Hitler said.   The Republicans have agreed to support him as their candidate if he gets selected.   Yeah.. I'll bet!  So.. if he doesn't get supported, will he create a third-party candidacy?  If so.. Hillary is a shoe-in for the Presidency.

French Food Crisis

The French have never gotten in to the "Doggy Bag" program.  But, now, the French Government is complaining that too much food is being thrown away.. especially true in 2015.  So, the populace is being prodded to begin taking home the food that isn't completely eaten in the restaurants.  (Tourists have been the only ones to do this for years in France.)  The receptacle will be called "le gourmet bag".

Excuse me!

Scientists report that they have found a "burping black hole"  in a "not so far away" galaxy.

Burning Question

Do  our doodles get better as we age?

Here we go again!

North Korea claims to have detonated a hydrogen bomb over the  weekend.  Scientists did note a slight earthquake reading from the test area.   NK is trying to develop a submarine-launched missle that could reach the west coast of the US.

I remember, during WWII, one of my "gang" had been brought to New Bedford, Massachusetts from San Francisco, because there had been "bombing" in California.  None of us kids believed that such a thing was occurring.... however, now, history reveals that some bomb-laced balloons did float over from Japan and a few detonated on US soil.

Recognition

I took a selfie and saw my grandfather.

Hat Trick!

Abraham Lincoln's silk stovepipe hat was part of his office.  It served as his desk when he would jot notes on its flat top and also his file drawer where he would keep his datebook,checkbook, and letters.  When he would think of an idea, he would scribble it on a piece of paper and then insert it in the hatband.

..... adios......
