They’re Popping Up Like Weeds

Don’t Understand
I freely admit that I don’t understand the news about the young man who says the Government is collecting data on all our phone calls, emails, etc. I don’t know how he got access to that information. But beyond that, … Continue reading
Conference Call
My meeting at Joann’s turned into a conference call. I really wish the moderator had followed a procedure we used to do when I had a business job and that was have everyone introduce themselves. As it was, except for … Continue reading

Something to Consider
I sometimes wonder about all the things you need to consider when buying a house. I remember I was concerned about crime statistics, among other things. One thing I didn’t consider was weather patterns. I’m beginning to think that is … Continue reading
Fences
Someone — maybe Robert Frost — said fences make good neighbors. I’ve been thinking about that the last few days. My thoughts have been prompted by some Lowe’s ads I’ve seen which sort of feature a white picket fence. The … Continue reading
I Don’t Understand
It’s not often that I read the sports page in the newspaper but I found myself leafing through it yesterday. I’m not sure what caused me to do that but I was taken aback by a photo of a race … Continue reading
