Today’s Thoughts
Not a cloud in the
sky. It is warm and a little breezy. Great day.
Yesterday’s
discussion group went very well. We didn’t solve the climate crisis, but

watching Iran as the President’s helicopter has crashed. At this time, it
appears suspicious. This has the potential of adding more chaos to our world.

government officials are sworn in, in addition to the standing for the
Constitution and all that other stuff, please add: “I do solemnly swear to be
an adult in all my verbal and written material and will resign immediately if I
fail.”
