A Polar Vortex

             Good Morning Everyone!
                               
​                         OK!  Technology can be great!

Picture
                                                                                         But sometimes I long for the old days

​After spending 4 days attempting to migrate from Android to Apple cell phones and clearing a path to add cellular connected Apple watches, I'm ready to go back to the good old "phones with tails"  

Here's the problem.  I promised myself that when I retired I would try to keep up with technology as much as possible.  So I suffer under an ever expanding and lengthening tech curve.  Don't feel bad for me though I have this punishment coming - ask JL!

Good Morning Everyone!

Baby it's cold outside!

NO! I don't know who this little guy is but I can say with certainty that many of us in the midwest FEEL like he looks.  Several FEET of snow in the Rockies, Midwest blasted by repeated snowstorms and ICE, below zero temps and the poor people on the East Coast must patiently await the mess coming right at them!  . . . Who said "Winter Wonderland?"

Good Morning Everyone!

Lighthouse in Two Rivers
(at least we have one left)

Picture
By now you've all heard that the lighthouse in Manitowoc was recently blown off the pier by high wind and super waves!  Check out PICTURESQUE!  to see the best shot I was able to get showing that event.  By the way, thank you Sharon and Nick for calling this to our attention.  Both Sharon and Nick were all over this story shortly after it happened.

  GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!

​WHAT??
ARE WE GETTING POLITICAL?
Picture
Joe Biden - Potential 2020 Presidential Candidate Born November 20, 1942, Joe will be 77 years old on his next birthday. in 2019

HEY!  HEY!  I thought we were not allowed to get political!!!!    . . .   WE'RE NOT!!

In talking with some folks over the past year I've noticed a tendency in those of our age group to lament that "our days are numbered".  After all, we're going to reach the lofty age of 77 this year - some will reach 78!!!  


THINK ABOUT THIS
Should Joe be successful  he would take office AT AGE 79!  AND HOLD OFFICE UNTIL HE IS 82!!!  I don't think he plans to pass into the "Great beyond"  during that time  . . (second term? . . . who knows)  (Of course there is always Bernie Sanders - he's a year older than Joe)

Now,  I'm not suggesting that you consider running for president!  As a matter of fact there are some of you who I would completely discourage in that endeavor.  I'm just saying, don't underestimate what you "CAN DO" . . .  AND don't count yourself out!
