Since last night the wind has been gusting through Des Moines and tonight it is supposed to get down to 20 degrees. A dark, cloudy, and loudly windy day making for dreariness and selfpity, even though this is normal Nature, and one has to live through it and hope the sun will come out and spring will eventually be back to its normal springness in a few days.
A kid up at Iowa State who has been missing since he left a drinking party early Saturday morning was found in the ISU campus lake this afternoon. He may have just fallen into the lake but someone tried to use his credit card at a local convenience store, so the mystery of what happened to him is getting deep.
I have been in a mad for the last several days--about the War, the weather, politics, and some stuff that happened in my life going back several decades and that I cannot do a thing about now, because some of the people I am mad at have been gone for several years. So, I have wasted several hours of my life full of useless regrets. So, I watched my utube video of Piaf singing No, I Regret Nothing, and that is a good antidote to the pouts. Poor Piaf standing there singing about her life while she was dying and looking awful. Someone once asked me what the difference was between Sinatra and Dean Martin as singers. Frank could throw his whole soul into In the Wee Small Hours, and Dean when he wanted to could sing a song beautifully but never opened his whole heart to the audience. Just one of my opinions.
This is going to be all for tonight. I have to take an evening nap, and probably will have more to regale you dear readers with tomorrow night, because my fingers are right now slipping all over the keys. Di di mau!
