A Ramble on Discrimination

Passing laws to protect discrimination is in itself discrimination. It is 2016 and there’s too much hate that is allowed to continue. Truly it is a shame this is a thing we see daily with many in our community. No one should be treated as a second class citizen anywhere.

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2016 – Groundhog Day

Happy Groundhog Day everyone! Punxsutawney Phil did NOT see his shadow today which means he predicts an early Spring. I hope that will come to pass, however the unseasonable weather we have had as of late around here will mean a mean blast of Winter sometime soon. Incidentally we are fans of the movie Groundhog Day starring Bill Murray, if you have never seen it, you should.

Hillary Clinton and Ted Cruz won the Iowa Caucus yesterday. As a Democrat I have not made up my mind between Clinton and Bernie Sanders. I think the picture will be clearer after the New Hampshire Primaries.

Sunday is Super Bowl 50 between the Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos. I am pulling for Carolina in that game.

Right now I am sipping on a iced coffee I made from hot cocoa mix and coffee and ice from work. So I can have some further energy to make it through the day. There is much work to be done.

Oh yeah, it’s Tuesday. I hate Tuesdays.

Have a swell day good people. Love, peace, grace and all that jazz!

(From Wikipedia) The Space Shuttle Challenger disaster occurred on January 28, 1986, when the NASA Space Shuttle orbiter Challenger broke apart 73 seconds into its flight, leading to the deaths of its seven crew members.

I was a sophomore in High School when this tragedy occurred. This mission featured Christa McAuliffe who was to be the first teacher to go into space. We take time today to remember these brave souls who were doing what they loved to advance peace and knowledge.

I saw this report tonight on the news and it’s amazing the operation that goes on to draw the numbers for Powerball. High security is a understatement.
