Today’s Thoughts
A beautiful spring
day. What a great to be in the spring.
I had a follow-up CT
scan this morning. Went well. It’s just a check from my lung issues a year ago.
I was happy to see that a sign from the pandemic has finally been removed for
the Radiology office. The sign said ‘Misbehavior will not be tolerated. This includes
yelling, arguing, swearing in the office. Security will be called. Thank you
for your compliance’. It always seemed extreme to me.
Graceland, Elvis’
home, will remain the same after a foreclosure notice was given to the heirs. The
family is claiming it is a fraud. Hope it works out for them.
When I fly, I always
keep my seatbelt loosely fastened unless I walk around. I have also flown on
Singapore Airlines. Guess it’s a good practice after the death of a passenger
on a plane that hit turbulence.
Did you Know?
