A BEAUTIFUL BUT CHILLY DAY

(Elaine is home and looks good.  I will have some nursing duties for three days. I just got a lesson on how to perform those duties.)

WORDLE

My 18 days winning streak almost failed today.  Tough word to dope out.  Took me some time.  As I said, I'm hooked and now WORDLE joins my schedule of doing at least one crossword puzzle each day.

CROSSWORDS

I really enjoy the puzzles that Evan Birnholz constructs.  He is the Sunday crossword writer for the Washington Post and Francine kindly sends me copies of his puzzles.  Evan has a wonderful sense of humor as shown in his puzzles, Try them, they may be tough, but entertaining.

WHAT NEXT!

For a while, a Family Dollar store on MLJ Boulevard in Tulsa had a vending machine that was supposed to dispense toy dinosaurs, but in some instances dispensed toy plastic rings imprinted with swastikas.

It makes me sad to think that lots of Americans glorify that madman Hitler and his evil regime that murdered millions of Jews, Gypsies, the Old, the Disabled and other innocent people, and caused a war that resulted in the deaths of another millions of people.

BAD WEATHER

Evangelistic groups in Louisiana blame the tornados and hurricanes they continue to experience on "gays and abortion."

CRUNCHY OR SMOOTH?

In 2017, twelve inmates of an Alabama prison escaped by fooling a new guard.  They spread peanut butter over the EXIT door sign and told him it was a cell door that needed to be opened so a prisoner could get into the right cell.

It was a nutty attempt because all the escapees were soon captured.

GENEOLOGY

This is an edited extract from a poem by Marguerite Loucks Dye, "humorist, author, poet, pianist and world traveler":

"Where do you get your good sense of humor?"

"I can't help it, Grandpa.  It's in my genes."

Then he thrust his hand into his dungaree pocket -

"Also in my Jeans are a flashlight and beans."
