I am thrilled about this. In a four-way race there is always the chance of a loss because of vote splitting. He is a great guy and I am happy for these results.
As of 5:00 PM on Sunday evening it was 65 degrees. Earlier in the day it was warmer. The southern United States does get cold weather and snow. Right now its very unseasonable in the south. I could go for some seasonable weather like we had when I was a kid. Right now its supposed to be sweater weather, instead the air conditioning is on. Now it has brought up a blizzard in March and April so I don’t count anything out.
The flu bug has gotten bad where I live. So bad that schools have used some of their built-in snow days and cancelled classes so the children and staff can get better. Everyone loves a day off but this is not the way many wanted it to come about. Several people I work with were scrambling to find child care options for tomorrow as our local school system has also called off school for Friday. I got a flu shot in November. I can’t remember the last time I had it. Those who got the bug are sitting at home trying to get well.
Here’s a graphic that shows the difference between the common cold and the flu. Stay healthy my friends.

After church this afternoon we swung by a new bakery in the Chattanooga suburb of Red Bank. This bakery has been in the works for a few months and this is their opening weekend. Bread and Butter Bakery decided to do a “soft opening” so they didn’t have the widest range of offerings but what they had today looked pretty tasty. Featured items today were scones, brownies, baguette, cookies, seasoned loaves along with some locally sourced cheeses and butter. I am excited to see what they will do in the future.
This building once was home to a Baskin Robbins 31 Ice Cream shop that some friends of mine operated for years. It’s nice to see something good going into it.
