A new Speaker of the US House of Representatives has been elected. Kevin McCarthy was elected late Friday night in the 15th House Floor vote … High drama. The Californian kept making deals, apparently … All in his own Republican party … He replaced Nancy Pelosi, a California Democrat … Republicans took over control of the US House by the slimmest of margins … Democrats are in control of the US Senate … by the slimmest of margins…

Great weather forecast for early January … Mostly sunny today, with a high near 59 degrees. Partly cloudy tonight, with a low around 37 … Sunday (Church Day), partly sunny, with a high near 58. A 40% chance of rain Sunday night, low in the low 40s. Our weather so far this year has been great for the time of year…

I woke up last night thinking I had won the lottery … Remembered something I read recently on what to do if you won a huge prize … Do not disclose … get financial and legal assistance before getting the money … I was all set … then no prize … Maybe next time…
