A Few Odds and Ends...

-It has warmed up a little in the past week and it has been in the 50s much of this week. That may not sound very warm but after the lows each morning in single digits it feels like summer. I hope we don't have too much more snow and cold weather this winter. I am ready for spring and baseball.

-You won't believe this but the lead story on several TV stations "news" casts last week was a Cow stuck in a small stream. St. Louis is a market of two and three quarter million people. But, you would have thought this was Bugtussle. Both the Fox affiliate and Snooze Channel Five had "breaking news" tags on this story. It was hilarious watching the reporters "live" at the scene deliver their standups. I started laughing out loud at the lameness.

-My boss' boss got canned yesterday by his boss. The problem is the guy who got canned was a pretty good guy who knows what he's doing and had the troops pulling together and actually achieving goals. But, his idiot boss doesn't get it. An acting honcho has been named until someone else can be hired. Stay tuned for further details.

-If you haven't seen it yet, there's a new show in prime time called "The Knights of Prosperity". The first few times I watched it I thought it was simple. But, the more I watch it, I realize the program is pretty well written and the acting is great. Unfortunately, word on the street is no more episodes will be ordered once these 13 are used up.
