Today’s Thoughts
I can’t complain about the February weather.
It’s always nice to take a walk outside in February without being bundled up.
I’m certainly
enjoying the Olympics on TV. I understand that the Olympics are not to be
political. I was disheartened when Vance was booed. Even some American athletes
are commenting on how hard it is to compete when so many have a negative
impression of America at this time. Still, I enjoy watching all the athletes give
their all for their sport.
I want the Seahawks
to win the Super Bowl today. I hope the half-time who goes off without any hitches.
I believe the MAGA people brought politics into the Olympics and the Super
Bowl. It is a sad commentary on our core beliefs that everything in the news must
be political. I just keep hoping America can enjoy the Olympics and the Super
Bowl.
Trivia
Hobo
Meaning a vagrant or a
wanderer, the word "hobo" is traced to common usage at the end of the
19th century in the U.S. West. One origin may be the word hawbuck, meaning
country bumpkin, and another is workers' call to one another of "ho boy"
when building the railroads.
Shoot from the hip
To "shoot from the
hip" means to act or speak impulsively without much forethought. It comes
from the American West, when a gunslinger would fire from the hip without
taking the weapon out of the holster. The shot would be more quick than accurate.
