Some evening thoughts ...........

6:30 PM in Ohio on a Wednesday evening, already dreary, cloudy, cold, and had some snow flurries this morning, and it's only mid October. What happened to Indian Summer?

Just saw a grocery store ad on TV, how they are reducing prices. What does that mean. To me, they have been ripping us off and now they are getting down to reality, probably because they were in trouble. How can they sell something today for $2.99 and yesterday it was $3.99. Will they refund me any money? I have always heard that grocery stores work on a very small markup. I know they are still making some money at $2.99, makes one wonder.

I have always been a fan of dancers, loved tap dancers, Red Astaire, Gene Kelley, loved to see them perform. Remember "Dancing in the Rain." Great stuff. But, tonight, I am seeing "dancing" at a new level, politicians "dancing" around healthcare and the multitude of errors, ineptness, and problems that they have encountered. SNAFU. An old term we used in the service and so applicable to the recent debacle unleashed on the country. I have to wonder also, everything that has happened since Obama has been in the White House, he was unaware of. Just what is he aware of?

Had to be another embarrassment to Obama. He got a phone call today from Angela Merkelm, to the unaware, she is the German Chancellor. "QUIT TAPPING MY TELEPHONE." Are we a great country led by a great man, or not?

More school shootings. What can be said about that? 

I am getting very tired of hearing Debbie Boone sing "You Light Up My Life.? Lifestyle Lift, not exactly sure what it is, but someone is making a ton of money to air that commercial as often as they do. I always liked that song, till recently, now sick of it. See her Dad too often too.

Some colleges are starting to reducing their tuition. May go back to college just to see something reduced. OK, the groceries at that one store are coming down, wonder which ones they raised to compensate. I imagine their overhead stayed the same. Probably the same Canadian company doing their computer work that is working on healthcare
