The Nestoff Way

Members of a family tend to share ways of thinking or doing.  The traits may be expressed differently or skip a few people, but it’s there.  These things are probably a mix of nature and nurture, innate aptitudes and family attitudes.  My sister recently commented about “The Nestoff Way”, and I’ve been thinking about what that is.

Big power outage in Spain and Portugal.

Spain and Portugal hit by unexplained power blackout.

The power is coming back on for parts of Spain and Portugal, more than 12 hours after the massive outage shut off traffic lights and caused chaos at airports, train stations and on the roads.

Both countries have declared states of emergency as authorities work to manage the situation.

It’s not clear why this is a big story in international news or why Spain and Portugal declared a state of emergency.  This time of year, it’s pretty pleasant on the Iberian Peninsula, and much of the power was back on after 6 hours.

Who is Saquon Barkley and where is he going?

Eagles’ Saquon Barkley hangs out with Trump after teammate dodges question on White House visit

This is an interesting article, but no reports give the whole story.  They all say the same thing.  The Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl, Barkley is the star running back, he spent time with Trump and his teammate is reluctant to accept an invitation to visit the White House.

I don’t give a shit about football, and wasn’t aware that the Eagles won the Super Bowl.  How did a 28 year-old football player land a seat on Marine One with the president?

My first house

A week ago, when I posted about my house in a different timeline, I looked up my first house on the county auditor site.  I bought it on April 28th, 1992, and sold it on April 28th, 1998.  Owning it for exactly six years is notable, so an anniversary post seemed like a good idea.

Mississippi schools are doing a great job.

‘Mississippi miracle’: Kids’ reading scores have soared in Deep South states

Education snobs like making fun of Alabama, Mississippi and the South in general.  They hate that Mississippi is leading the nation on the NAEP.  The numbers have been jiggered.
