Today’s Thoughts
Lovin’ the sunshine.
I had an eye check
up this morning. All good. I didn’t get a reminder call, but checked and made
it on time.
About the Super
Bowl. Seahawks winning was the highlight. I took some of the sting out of the
Broncos loss to the Seahawks. It was a defense game, which was not as exciting
as I had hoped, but it worked in the end. I didn’t see any record-breaking
commercials this year. I guess I’m too old to understand the Bad Bunny performance,
however; after reading and hearing the reviews, it was a great performance.
After many of the explanations, he did a great job of showing off his love of
the Americas. I learned a lot about Puerto Rico and the view of “America” from
his prospective. I need to watch it again to better understand it. His message
of love was very well done.
Trivia
Sell someone down the river
Today to "sell someone
down the river" means to betray them. Unfortunately, its origins date back
to the time of slavery, when enslaved people were sent South down the
Mississippi and Ohio rivers.
Loaded for bear
To be "loaded for bear" is to be extremely well armed and prepared for conflict. It stems from U.S. hunters of brown bears. The species is extremely dangerous, and hunters use more powerful rifles than they would in other types of hunting.
