What is the current News about?--earthquakes in the Pacific, Madonna's adopted(?) baby from Malawi, Wesley Snipes on the lam for tax evasion, HRC wearing a diamond-studded cross, Evel Knievel's 68th birthday, at least one of the check-out line tabloids claiming the Bush marriage is collapsing, The Bears pulling off a big win by coming from 0-20 to 24-23 and beating the Cardinals in the last five minutes of the Monday night game!, North Korea declaring war on anybody messing with it and its nukes. Lots more heavy stuff you can find on the major news websites.
Cold and foggy and windy and damp day around the heartland region. This has become an ugly October instead of a pretty fall season with colored leaves and warmish temps. And I am not feeling well health-wise this week, with diabetic droops. Whine and whine.
While shopping this afternoon I noted that Big K and Wally have raised the price of t-shirts and underpants; a sign of inflation or a jump in shipping costs getting them here from China? Wally has big plans to open megastores around China.
I bought a half-price book of English poetry the other day, for my cultural education, and found a couple of poems by a 19th century dude I had never heard of named Coventry Patmore. He wrote a couple of poems that are grabbers when you read them; one is about his feelings when his sick wife died while having tea with him, and The Toys is about him trying to raise his little son without a mother--and having to hit the kid when he was disobedient. Very unusual topics for poems in an age when pseudo-medieval stuff was the main subject. (Patmore died in 1896).
This is going to be all for right now. I have some pre-bedtime things to do. You all take care and we will blog again. Di di mau.
