Home automation is addicting. Once the window shades in the solarium were automated, I looked for anything else to add to the system. Some people go nuts. If you have looked at a new furnace, refrigerator, thermostat or hot water heater, you see that they can all be web-enabled. I don’t want to go crazy.
Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, addressed the generals and admirals yesterday.
I have not been in the military, but get what Hegseth is going for. Good people are drawn to quality. Forty years ago, the Navy had the motto, “It’s not just a job, it’s an adventure.” Hegseth wants to appeal to people who want a challenge and are ready to work for it.

Finally, nutritional science has some good news. The study looks legit.
The study was conducted by Brigham and Women’s Hospital. There were 12,666 women over 65 years old, and 8776 men over 60 years old in a double-blind, placebo controlled study. A 27% reduction in death by cardiovascular disease is substantial.
I don’t follow football, but Sparky wanted to watch the Buckeyes play the Huskies today. The game wasn’t what he expected, so he lost interest. We stuck with it through the half-time show.
How did the school district in the capital of Iowa acquire an illegal alien from Guyana as their superintendent?
Jackie Norris is the chair of the Des Moines School Board. Norris used to be the White House Chief of Staff for First Lady Michelle Obama.
and not obese, degenerate sex clowns reading to children at the library.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show is 50 years old, and I’m not sure how to feel about that.
