Thoughts While Shaving
Spread the love

Worked hard for a short time yesterday … cutting weeds … Thought I should reward myself … a few extra cookies, an extra soft drink, a few extra Hersey’s Kisses … Stepped on the scales this AM … Gee, I really rewarded myself … so next few days … no rewards…

Remember living on a farm as a youngster … lived on several farms, we were share-croppers so we moved many times … Remember cold weather, hog killin’ time. Place swine on a floored pen for a few weeks prior to hopefully make them more desirable … Think I placed myself on a floored pen … No sweets, no rewards of any kind ’til I drop a few pounds…

Elizabethtown’s Division 1 Dixie Youth team, backs against the wall, defeated Fairmont at Leinwand Park last night to advance to the finals. Championship game pits West Robeson vs Elizabethtown … 10 a.m. today … same location … Memories to last for a lifetime for the players and their supporters…

Weather forecast for today … Great baseball weather … Sunny, with a high near 90, calm wind around 6 mph this morning … Mostly clear tonight with a low around 68. Sunday, sunny, with a high near 90…

I was ‘thumbing thru’ the Internet last night and ‘stumbled across’ info titled “USAFACTS’. Decided to download and check it out. It is info from all 50 states from the economy to immigration, from Medicaid to foreign aid, Heathcare, Education, Trades & Tariffs, Jobs and Employment, Coronavirus Stats, and Data and Race in America … Research and more … Our nation, in numbers. Government data from over 70 sources organized to show how the money flows, the impact, and who “the people” are. USAFacts is founded and funded by Stever Ballmer, Ballmer Group co-founder, Chairman of the LA Clippers, and former CEO of Microsoft.

Thought I would read more … and invite others … May not be worth 2 cents, but could be interesting…
