Fair Weather, Rain or Shine:

There are special things in life. That’s for sure. Unfortunately, you sometimes don’t know how dear they are until they are taken away.

I always thought that “Sycamore” was a nice name for a tree.

Of all the storms that Americans face in a year, none can be as devastating to society as a Twitter Storm.

I believe that China needs a deal with the US. Or, do I just hope that?

My AC system must be haunted. It gives me the chills.

You know, other than criminals who commit depraved acts against humanity, I have always thought that litterers were at the bottom of the barrel. Based on what I have been seeing lately, I’m moving litterers to #2 behind politicians.  

Yesterday Iran said that if the European countries don’t come around on a deal, they will have enriched weapon grade uranium in 60 days Wow! And this from a country that for years said it had no intention or technology to enrich uranium.

A big developer creating projects for tax write-offs is news?

Don’t mess with environmental regulations. A couple who removed a180 year old oak from their large California estate were fined nearly $600,000 for knowingly abusing laws. Frankly I would be appalled at taking down a special tree. And am, even when I’m told the tree was diseased. So, I’m a tree-hugger.

Tids Sports Department, “Golf Tip of the Day”: Don’t experiment with a new idea until you’ve figured out the basics.

Old actors never die, they just seek publicity. Sharon Stone is probably mainly known for one incident in one film. Well, she’s out there creating it all over again on the cover of Vogue Portugal’s’ Sex Issue. I guess you don’t need a lot talent to be relevant in Glitterville.

In 1914, Woodrow Wilson Made Mom’s day official. Yay Mom’s.

As I get old and slow my pace.
