Today’s Thoughts

Another breezy winter day.

It was time for my vehicle to get 15K milage service. I called a few weeks ago to see about an appointment. I was told it would be a 3-4 hour service. Yesterday I called and was told they now were doing drive-in service with no appointment. I asked how long it would take. She said about an hour after it hit the bay. I got there about 9am and was out just before 10. Good service but not good communication I guess.

Tonight is the State of the Union speech by the President. Rachael Maddow did a great job on selecting the ‘Designated Survivor’ for that address. If you missed it, search for the designated survivor Rachael Maddow and you can enjoy it. I will be watching his speech to see what our President has to say. I’ll also watch the Dem response. 

Historic Trivia
