Weird Michigan

Mon AM, I dropped off Michael at the bus stop and went out to run.  It was 29 degrees.  This AM, when I ran, it was 52 degrees.  I went into the DDS's office at noon, with 53 degrees on the thermometer.  Coming out, two hours later, it was 41 degrees, with quite blustery wind.  Who knows what's in store for tomorrow?

Obsequious......  Now there's a word that sounds exactly like what it means.  I listened to one of the local radio hosts interviewing the governor and the word immediately came to mind.  Oh, when the guests are far from his show, he's taking aim at them, at least most of them.  When they come on the show, pols from either party, he tosses them softball/lollipop questions.  Or, maybe, he asks harder ones when I'm not listening.

And, I listened to a member of the US House on the radio the other day.  Her English was pretty bad.  The one goof that stands out to me is, "We have tooken," and it was pretty clear, "tooken," not taken, "steps......"  And she also mispronounced Bernie Sanders' name, a member of her own party.

Aren't our advances amazing?  They really are.  I went in today for a tooth implant.  The DDS, who was very impressive with her meticulous work, used a laser, drilled into my jawbone, screwed a toggle bolt into my jawbone, and cleaned up "the tissue."  She said the material is the same as for hip and knee replacements, a new thing for implants.  Who'd a thunk it?

I heard a good one today, about a new drinking game.  Every time Bernie Sanders says something about another "free" (and there ain't no such thing as a free lunch) government program, chug somebody else's beer!
