The smiles and laughs and the devouring of more food than we need are over and done, but the love we felt so dearly carries on. Except for teh NE Patriots loss. That’s a little misery that still seeps in.
Elon Musk this morning accused the Associated Press of sending misinformation. The Associated Press/ That tried-and-true purveyor of news facts to reporters who apply the misguided references. How can it be/ Well, they sent out news of an Elon Musk twitter decision and Musk didn’t like the way it was phrased. How can it be? The AP for crissakes.

This morning Dilbert had me in a state of LOL delirium. Or maybe it was just a building off of the delight of a delightful family get together
There a is a warning going around about listeria in mainly supermarket delis. Then they described the symptoms like Confusion, stumbling, aches and pains, I thought, Hey, that's me!!
If you want a definition of Hypocrite, check out Roger Goodell and the NFL who now want to change a set-in-stone policy on gambling: “The NFL is strongly committed to maintaining the integrity of the NFL, its games, Clubs, players, coaches, and other League and Club personnel. Gambling, particularly on NFL games or other sports, presents potential risks to the integrity of our competition and can negatively impact team cohesion. We therefore owe it to our fans and everyone associated with our League to take all appropriate steps to
safeguard our game against possible threats from illegal gambling as well as gambling in a legal, regulated
context.” Now with fast growing giant money machines like Fan Duel, Draft Kings pouring in money integrity is not so important. It is amazing what money can do to moral selectivity.
I've learned.... That one should keep his words both soft and tender, because tomorrow he may have to eat them. --AR
The big college game this week without question is Michigan against Ohio State. It is always a big rivalry but this year it is abou two of the top 4 teams in the country. I’m all in for Michigan. A major reason is because OSU fans put “The” In front of OSU. Another traditional season ending game with meaning this year is Notre Dame and So Cal. There are many of the big historic rivalry tussles like Alabama-Auburn, Tenn-Vandy, Florida-Florida State, North Carolina-NC State and a South Carolina – Clemson match which might mean something too.
The Answer:
Little Portland Connecticut was the place where all the brownstone was quarried. It is a fascinating tale that goes back 195-220 Million years when the sandstone was deposited there as the super continent Pangaea began to break apart. (Read about it. It is Fascinating, Talk about climate, geological change.) This is from the archives of the Tids – Things We Don’t Know, Department (TWDK).
I've learned.... That no matter how serious your life requires you to be, everyone needs a friend to act goofy with. --Andy Rooney
