Today’s Thoughts

Temp has dropped about 10° but still a decent day.

Faith, Andy and I did lunch at Sizzler. It was OK but service was not good at all. Glad we had good conversation which was great.

I finally got in contact with Ellie, of Focus Travel. Her son had gotten her a new cell phone carrier and I didn’t have the number. I called the office of her facility, and they gave me her landline number. We had trouble hearing each other, but she called me later and gave me her cell number. She is having some mobility issues and uses a walker, but she still sounds like Ellie. I’ll take to her more often.

I was surprised but thankful that John Elway spoke and gave his opinion of the current Trump administration. He sure showed he is not MAGA and wants to see our country thrive. 

Common Saying’s Origin

No dice

"No dice" means no deal or no result. It comes from states where gambling was illegal in the early 1900s. Gamblers would hide the dice if they were caught, and courts would toss out gambling cases if no dice were found.

Heard it through the grapevine

"Heard it through the grapevine" means learning something through gossip or rumor. One theory dates it to the informal way of communication through what was called a grapevine telegraph for people who were enslaved. Another theory ascribes the phrase to the early telegraph system in the 19th century that used miles of wire strung from poles that resembled grapevine trellises.

Jump on the bandwagon

To "jump on the bandwagon," or to adopt an idea once it is successful or popular, stems from early America when musicians rode in a wagon on their way to a parade or rally, and people would rush to follow.
