Today’s Thoughts
Another breezy winter day.
I had lunch with Andy
and Faith. Good food, good conversation. We returned to Tappan Fiji. It’s been
a while since we ate there, the food and service were still great. Faith said
her bazaar sales went very well last week. Andy said he can’t watch the
Olympics after watching Lindsey’s fall. I get that.
After a career in
the Federal Service, I am used to bureaucrats who were not always the best
leaders. Watching Pam Bondi in her house hearing, I was totally embarrassed by
her high school clique behavior. No one in the DOJ signed up to observe her
doing her act. If she doesn’t resign, then she should be impeached. She is certainly way above her pay grade for
her immature behavior that was seen around the world. She seemed to be saying
that she doesn’t have time for anyone who is not 100% Trump. So disturbing.
Trivia
Living in high cotton
To be "living in high
cotton" means to be living well. It originated in the American South,
where cotton was a source of wealth. "We're living in high cotton."
Rode hard and put up wet
Looking "rode hard and put up wet" means looking worn out, bedraggled, or tired. At a ranch or stable, a horse that has run a lot works up a sweat and needs to be walked and cooled down to dry off.
