And another week spirals down the great drain of history ...
The Russian invasion of Ukraine continued this week, even as Ukrainian resistance stiffened, economic sanctions crushed the Russian economy, and Arnold Schwarzenegger recorded a heartfelt plea to the Russian people; in Texas, nine people, including six members of a college golf team and their coach, were killed when a pickup truck driven by a 13-year-old (who also died) rammed their van head-on; legislation to make Daylight Savings Time effective year-round passed the Senate by unanimous consent, the Senate obviously having nothing better to do; WNBA star Brittney Greiner remains jailed in Russia on alleged drug charges; and in Houston, a man who fired a gun in a restaurant failed to note that one of the other diners was an Ultimate Fighting Championship MMA competitor who disarmed him and placed him in a "rear-naked choke" until police arrived.
Yep - this week, it's random cartoons again ...
I could get a lot of use out of this hashtag ...
Yep, must be ...
I've noticed those symptoms, too ... they're also associated with trying to stay informed on the news ...
The best government money can buy, that's what we have ....
I have about seven of those a week ...
People who get their "news" from Fox, OANN, RT, and Newsmax should take note ...
Well, I guess he's "technically" right ...
That's how it works, isn't it? ...
So, how DO you adjust an hourglass? ...
I hope they resolve their supply chain issue soon ... the primaries are coming up, and lots of other red states are drafting crazy legislation ...
And that's it for this week. Have a good day and a great weekend, and come back tomorrow for another Poetry Sunday. More thoughts then.

Perfect!
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly how it works.
ReplyDeleteLove the breadth that a random theme gives!
ReplyDeleteHow do you adjust a hourglass? Carefully and slowly: Time it for an hour to see how close it is. Add or remove a few grains of sand, time it for another hour, repeat over and over until it times out correctly. Then count the grains of sand so you'll know how many to use next time! I suppose there's an easier way, but where's the absurdity in that?
