Today’s Thoughts
Another nice winter
day.
Nissan finally came
through. Back in July I got a recall. I finally got an appointment to fix the
recall. The guy said about an hour. I got there and they said 3-4 hours…depending
on how well their computer was working. So I left the car and took their free
shuttle to get home. Now I’m just waiting for it to be fixed. The shuttle driver picked me up at 12:45 and I have my vehicle back. Glad they have a shuttle service.
So much of the news relates back to ‘left vs right’. It is time to look at every news story event as ‘right or wrong’. In the first each side is saying ‘but the other side is worse.’ In the second, when we can identify the ‘wrong’ and do what can be done to stop the wrong and do it right. The other day a group of protesters stopped a church service to inform the congregation that one of their pastors was the local ICE head honcho. I agree that people should know the leaders of ICE, but by entering a church, stopping the service and then telling the congregation sure sounds wrong. I still believe any church service should not be interrupted by protesters.
