Raining now and the forecast predicts it will be with us for a few days. What is going on?… The Chiefs lose, Travis Kelce talks retirement and of all things Taylor Swift gets booed at Supper Bowl. Now if that was not enough there is the possibility that the Gaza Strip could somehow become prime real estate.

You know what that means… somebody, somewhere  will soon attempt to control the market for camels and donkeys. We must not forget that that The Gulf of Mexico is now officially The Gulf of America, which means, somebody, somewhere will make a fortune printing new maps. I also might add that yes, the Gulf of Mexico is considered saltwater, with a salinity level comparable to the North Atlantic Ocean, usually around 36 parts per thousand salt…The name change won’t affect the content. Did you know that the average American drinks about three cups of coffee per day, or roughly 1,095 cups per year. Now why is that even part of this blog? Well it is personal…considering that my town is adding two more major players in this coffee shop thing… at least we will have somewhere to go, sit and drink coffee while we ponder why anyone would pay $5 for a cup of coffee. Eggs are $1.39 – $1.89 a dozen in Mexico while here in the USA about $4.00 a dozen. This adds meaning to that saying “don’t spill the eggs…” Chuck Schumer encouraging people to report fraud, waste, threatening behavior toward others… Pogo reminds Chuck “that be us”. SOooo…here is your Ponder for the day…Ponder these things.
