Today’s Thoughts

It’s fairly cloudy today, but no precipitation in the forecast. These clouds usually bring some snow here in January.

Now Trump says no military intervention in Greenland. I’m not surprised that NATO members and much of the free world are taking it like a grain of salt. The damage has been done, and it will take decades to rebuild a trust of the US again.

I talked to my brother this morning, Micho is doing good and will soon have radiation treatments every other day for a month. Richard is getting ready so he can stay in Guadalajara for the treatments. 

Trivia

Fact: Wally Amos is responsible for making more than just cookies famous.

You may be familiar with Wally “Famous” Amos, thanks to his packaged chocolate chip cookies. But before he worked his magic on the sweet treats, he was in the business of making people famous, Biography reports. He discovered and signed folk duo Simon & Garfunkel and was a talent rep for acts like Diana Ross, Sam Cooke, and Marvin Gaye.

Fact: The brand name Spam is a combination of “spice” and “ham”

This is one of those interesting facts you probably thought you knew but actually didn’t. Contrary to American mythology, Spam is not an acronym for “Scientifically Processed Animal Matter” or “Shoulder of Pork and Ham,” Eater reports.
