Naked in Winterland
The “wind chill,” which is largely used by TV weather people to scare us, is really not that scary.
It applies to “exposed skin” only. So unless you go out in blizzards naked, you are likely to survive.
If you don’t want the weather to hurt you, wear clothes. You’ll thank me.

No TV commercials enrage me more than the phony baloney ones for TikTok. What utter rubbish.

I have always thought that the worst type of person is evil and smart.
But I now stand corrected.
The worst type of person is evil and stupid.

The weekend beckons & that means one thing: the Stock Market is closed & we are (briefly) free from the madness of Donald Trump.

Just saw “A Raisin in the Sun” on TCM.
What a movie!
What a network!
And only possible in a free country that elects presidents and not kings!

So Kate Boldwin is standing up, anchoring the CNN News with a giant styrofoam cup of coffee in her hand. Was it casual coffee Friday?

I just got a new pair of shoes made with Vegan leather. I was not looking for Vegan leather, I just liked the shoes.
But after Trump and his cronies get done destroying our economy and we are reduced to eating our footwear, I will be able to do so without guilt.
So I’ve got that going for me.

Just saw “The Earl of Chicago,” about a Windy City mobster, who becomes a British Earl, is accused of murder, and is tried by the House of Lords.
Only in England.
After I first saw it as a child I wanted to become an Earl, own a vast estate and a house the size of Midway Airport.
I never made it.

Kindle has sent me a note congratulating me for “reading 79 weeks in a row.”
It wasn’t lauding me for reading 79 books in 79 weeks, a feat I may have reached when the television broke.
No, I was being lauded for reading anything.
Which is why I am now reading cereal boxes.
Here I come 80 weeks!
