Where have the sandpipers gone:

 

My first sense this morn. 

Was to write a poem 

Of snow upon my home 

Of fireplaces warm 

Of footprints in snow, 
Animals scurrying.  

Of no power outage 

So no worrying.  

 

Speaking of snow jobs... Well, DT set a record too. But it was pretty predictable. The hockey team, sans women;s champs, to me got the most applause of the evening. He will be doing what he a has been doing. That’s the consensus. If you have been reading this for w awhile you know I have never said anything positive about a other than, why can't they stop.  

 

A lot of those in attendance last night clamoring to be recognized by the Trumpster looked like the kids who brought apples to the teacher every day. 

 

Where there’s a will, there’s a relative. 

 

I’m wondering where the sandpipers go in winter. To the south.  Do they walk in their little scurrying way? There's something about sandpipers that make me smile

I Didn't know I was living in the “Golden Age of America.” Does that mean you should buy gold because the economy is volatile? 

 

In case you are looking for something refreshing, March Madness begins with Selection Sunday in just over two weeks. All the stars which would normally spur a “Cinderella” to an upset have transferred to the big money conferences.  

 

A large furniture store around her always has a get free furniture promotion bases on sports achievements. Normally, it's around the Red Sox. But this year it is about UConn Basketball: If the Men's and Women's Teams reach the finals of March Madness, all furniture bought now will be free. UConn women are #1 and Men are #5 or six  

 

Only four SC Justices showed up and only Kavanaugh seemed to be smiling when DT walked over past the other three. That’s what's really disappointing government leadership these days, pettiness. 

 

When are people going to rebel at $18-$22 Cocktails.  

 

The only countries that need tariffs to protect their industries are those that are inept at production efficiency.  

 

When I was younger, hitting a curveball was hard. Today cutting my fingernails is hard.  

 

The Supreme Court, Congress and The Executive Branch are the holy trinity of what has made the US great, If we diminish any of those three, what might be great might never be achieved.  

 

This is my step ladder. I never knew my real ladder. 

 

The Answer: 

Smallpox killed 300 million before a joint effort found vaccine that eradicated that killer disease. It is the only disease that has been erased fron global society. But the following caused many millions of deaths before vaccines: Polio, Measles, diphtheria, Tetanus, and Pertussis (Whooping Cough). Some others are HPV (Linked to Cancer), Hepatitis, Meningitis, Rito Vitis and Covid.  

 

Do you know what I don't like about covid. To spell it properly, you have to use all caps, I don't like all cap words standing out in my paragraphs. That’s why I don't use government agency acronyms. I just say, those clowns in DC that... 

 

See you all tomorrow.
