Culmination:
Isn’t it nice
It's soft and fluffy.
Not ominous,
Like insidious ice.
Wouldn't it be nice if world was always as pristine and pure as the day after snow covers the sins of the dying autumn?
Do you know what I dent Like... this trend towards directors thinking movies dark and grey are better. That's called creativity for personal satisfaction at the expense of consumer enjoymentt.
Is it me or has there already been too much Super Bowl Talk? How many ways can you twist a story?

What's so unusual about sending “ICE” agents to the “Winter” Olympics?
The Macy's TDay Balloons may have Popped. The 165-year-old Department store chain just surprised analysts by closing 450 more stores. Yesterday they eliminated 1,000 jobs by closing large distribution centers in Connecticut. Revenue is slowing and 2025 profits were 60% lower than 2024.

Others might be Elias Howe, George Westinghouse, John Deere and George Eastman and certainly any number of today’s Tech Giants,
I had an uncle who always brought his idea for a new invention to Thanksgiving Dinner. All the men gathered round to listen to his theory. His best one was fending off German U-Boats. They didn't work. I think I got my mind from him.
