4756 What to DO on a Crummy Winter's Day

 

You may think there’s nothing to do but stay in and watch the other people freeze.  You may also think that it’s a good time to catch a few extra hours of sleep because you’re so busy the rest of the year.  

You may think you finally can fix that window that doesn’t fully close and raises your monthly fuel bills.

 

But there’s much more to do. This is the time of year you can catch up on what the rest of the world is doing. There are so many news sites now you can pick the one or ones that suit your own …um… bias.

 

Examples:  Biden.  Fox will tell you a different story than the Associated Press.  The situation in Ukraine? You can choose between Fox and a whole host of other sites. 

 

Maybe you’re fixated on more obscure problems like the farmers of India.  There still are plenty of places to go for your side of this issue, something I’ll leave to you to figure out.

 

You say you don’t care about farmers in India? OK, how about Queen Elizabeth having Covid?  Maybe you didn’t know that.  But it’s true. Probably caught it from Prince Charles.  What will that mean for the British Monarchy? (And why do you care about that?  But if you do, there are plenty of places to read up on it.)

 

So we in this century and in this country have so many news sites now that we can pick one that suits our point of view. Keeps things either peaceful or war like at home. Pick your view of that. 

 

Regardless of your viewpoint, there are so many places to find out what’s happening, you never have to leave home.  Not only that, but you can order your groceries over the internet and they’ll be delivered relatively quickly.

 

But there IS one thing you can’t do without expending some effort.  That is getting out of the house when the weather is terrible -- or was terrible and has yet to be fixed.  And this can be a major problem.

 

Getting out of the house is a major step in keeping one’s sanity.  There is no substitute except napping.  And you can’t nap all day and then go to bed at night.  If anyone has an answer to this, please publicize it.

4755 The Superxxxx

 The NFL is very protective of the name of the football game played last night.  So in keeping with their whim, we’re going to talk about the game without ever mentioning its name. 

Well, that’s not true. We’re going to talk about what went on around it while America was riveted to its TV sets and the two sets of players, one from the XXXX and the other from the YYYY who clashed on national TV.

Wessays does not bet sports. But if we did, we’d figure that this had to be the least profitable betting game since the ZZZZs won in 19MM.  There were a few interesting moments.  But nothing extraordinary.

Maybe that’s the beauty of the game.  Yes, both teams did relatively well during the regular season. But neither was spectacular.  And there was no Tom Brady to gawk at. And the crowd at the game sight pretty much behaved itself.  

The halftime show was ok.  We expected more from the star, Nnn Nnn.  But that’s usual for this game which is really a trick to make money.  Oh. Yes it is.

The game itself was… well, a football game. And now, half a day later, it’s hard to find the score.  All the stories are about the commercials which we found less attractive than in previous years.  Maybe it’s staff aging. Or maybe it was just only a moderately exciting game.   For now, it’s time to forget the sport and concentrate on more important matters.

Like Spring Training.

And getting the snow off the driveway.

And breakfast.  And lunch. And naps.
