I wish you safe travels today & hope you avoid catching CV. It seems some folks are traveling again spreading CV from place to place. This weekend, motorcyclers are convening at Lake of the Ozarks. I hope it’s not another super-spreader event, like the Sturgis Rally, earlier this summer….
…Tommy Bartlett’s Show is closing after a 68-year run entertaining tourists on Lake Delton at the WI Dells. Everyone in the state is heart-broken, because even if they’ve never been to the show, they’ve seen the billboards on the highway…You might want to head down to see the Dells after your rally. You might also consider loaning Tom Diehl a few million dollars so he can keep the place open until Covid ends.
I’m also wondering about the status of the Temple Mount, specifically the Dome of the Rock & the Al Aqsa mosque. Apparently, the Temple Mount is a sacred space for the Muslims & the new agreement goes against the one made by Bibi & King Abdullah of Jordan in 2015 that “Muslims pray on the Temple Mount; non-Muslims visit the Temple Mount.” …
I can see that you are breathing easy this morning. According to AirNow.gov, the Air Quality (AQ) in Las Vegas is “Good”. Our AQI in Davis is 183 PM2.5, unhealthy, & Reno’s is 438, hazardous for everyone. I’m sure you noticed the effects of breathing in those microscopic particles that you were inhaling yesterday while you rallied In Minden….
Reading about Sgt. Maj. Thomas "Patrick" Payne who you will be honoring with the Medal of Honor this afternoon lifted my spirits. … I love his humility. He doesn’t consider himself a recipient of the Medal, rather a “guardian” of it, because he believes that all of the soldiers that he fought with are heroes. I would love to see you practice that kind of humility in the next few weeks…
…I am in suspense about what Patrick Mahomes & Deshaun Watson have up their sleeves for the pre-game festivities when the Chiefs take on the Texans tonight. Of course, the Chiefs will unveil their SuperBowl LIV banner, but the players have publicized their plans to demonstrate their unity around the idea that BLM…
Since I can’t party today, I read up about the origins of this federal holiday. Fascinating! Back in 1894 folks were suffering. The economy was in a nosedive so George Pullman (GMP), whose company made fancy railroad cars, cut his workers’ wages by 30%. …Their strike halted rail traffic in 27 states. Things came to a head in May 1886 when 30 protestors were killed by the National Guard in riots in Chicago. Sound familiar?
