It’s A Wet Wednesday In #Chattanooga

It’s been raining here lately. The wet weather is making things difficult to navigate on the roads and streets. Staying dry and safe is the order of the day.

I’m ready for drier weather. If it were freezing out there, this would be even worse. Have a good one good people. Stay safe, dry and cozy.

The Ukraine-Russia Situation

I am hoping for peace in the Ukraine-Russia situation. My thoughts are with the people of both nations. In the case of Russia, the people are at the mercy of whatever Vladimir Putin wants to do. His ego is writing a check that will cost the region if not the world dearly.

The global community must come together to condemn the actions of Putin. It’s my hope no blood will be shed by anyone. Economic sanctions are a good start but I hope the military will not be charged with fighting another war however peace often requires action with a cost.

First COVID now this. My goodness, let’s chill.

Give peace a chance, please.

Hello Twos-Day 2-22-22

Today is all about the two’s. It is appropriate that a day where the date is the same forward and backward happens on a Twos-Day.

Make this quirky day great good people.

My Work Evaluation

I had my annual work evaluation today and it was a very good one. There was plenty of good stuff to be said about my work. I’m a rock according to my boss. It made me feel good. I don’t make a fortune but what I do matters because it helps save lives. I’ve built a career there Sometimes blooming where you are planted is a good thing. It’s nice to be appreciated for work well done.

Happy President’s Day
