Random Wednesday Morning Thoughts


  • I am at a loss for words that Trump went completely off script yesterday and equated Nazi Protesters to Nazis. And he did it with extreme passion. 
  • I am also at a loss for words that anyone -- and I mean anyone -- would defend it. At least we are learning people's true colors. Mark Davis. Everyone on the morning show on WBAP. Fox News (which initially desperately tried to act like it didn't happen). 
  • After I watched the remarks in full, I was positive his presidency was over. There is no way someone can say that and survive. Now I'm not so sure. 
  • I forgot to mention this yesterday: 
  • The Blues Brothers scene where Jake and Elwood drive into a bunch of "Illinois Nazis" sure feels different now. 
  • Is it just me or is the standard portion of food that a restaurant serves enough for two meals?
  • Tom Cruise was injured while filming a movie. He'll be fine. I was more fascinated that the movie was Mission Impossible 6.
  • Breaking News. Is it just me or does the military seem to have a lot of non-combat helicopter/jet crashes?
  • That's a female, right?:
  • My office got a robo-call which was an IRS scam. It has happened to so many people: You are told you owe money (I don't), and I need to call them immediately. There are so many people who have been hit with this.
  • I was walking into Walmart yesterday with my standard office outfit of a white shirt and tie when an angry guy comes up to me and asks, "Are you a manager here?!"
  • What is the purpose of those heavy duty grill guards that are on the big trucks? And are they standard options? Is smashing into stuff a problem? 
  • The Texas Legislature's special session ended last night. Nothing got done. And that is a good thing.
