Be Thankful:
I think this afternoon I’ll walk around and see which flowers are beginning to pop. I noticed that in the last couple of days the trees on hillsides running down to the sea are red budded again. All this means in addition to the breathtaking feelings of rebirth, is that the budding of tourists is not far behind. I like this time of year. For a while.

I always liked Prince Phillip, until I saw The Crown. I hate it when movies affect my opinions. It’s too bad he couldn’t hold on for another couple of months until he hit 100. Actually, I still like him despite the Crown. Hail to the good Prince, the cool Duke of Edenborough.
The no- shotters aren’t even trying to understand the ramifications. Not getting a shot for political reasons is nuts.
I miss a lot of phone calls because I turn off the sound on my phone so I won’t hear those commercials I mistakenly click on.

The big question among the culturally inquisitive is whether or not Harry will become and responsible adult and do the right thing to honor his grandfather and comfort his grandmother.
Hey Joe, didn’t anybody ever tell you that more money doesn’t improve education. Only talking to union chiefs will never give you the whole story but it will help you get votes. BTW, did you notice that all of the money the Prez is seeking in his first budget request was pretty much a part of the $3 trillion just passed into law. Double dipping?
The ten most competitive housing markets in America are San Jose, San Francisco, Raleigh NC, Portland Or, San Diego, Los Angeles, Boston, Kansas City, NYC, Minneapolis and Milwaukee.

If you are an unlawful immigrant and can’t collect unemployment because you broke the law to get here and aren’t even recognized within the system, you are in luck by god. Move to New York City! The progresses there are going to give every illegal immigrant $15 K to help them survive in the society they crashed.

Alan Shepard, Gus Grissom and John Glenn come first to mind for me. Then I remember Deke Slayton and Garden Cooper. It took a minute to recall Wally Schirra and Scott Carpenter. But, these were the brave heroes of the day who would venture into the unknown vacuum without previous knowledge of experience but the words of Russian Cosmonauts. And of course the confidence of the brains of engineers.
Do you realize how much stuff people take for granted that only exist because of the brilliance of human engineers?
Have a great and happy weekend, E-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y!!
