ELECTION FRAUD

My comments on yesterday's blog re:  election fraud sure touched a nerve. I'm sorry . . . No matter what the courts rule, I pretty much stand by my comments. At the very least you have to admit that there were voting irregularities. As far as DT conceding the election, I didn't include any references to that in my blog. Regardless of how I feel, there is no requirement for the president to concede the election to the president-elect. And, I might add, there were those who were encouraging Biden to refuse to concede the election if Trump won.

I regret a comment I made in responding to some comments I received. I replied, "At least I know people are following me on Facebook." I think I sounded snottier than I meant. What I meant to say was, "I'm grateful that people follow my posts, since I put much time & effort into them." Truce? No hard feelings?

Soon I'll be making a list of New Year's resolutions for 2021. I already have some in mind. I'm considering a resolution not to engage in political conversations on Facebook, except for those re:  abortion. I cannot abide failing to respond to pro-abortion posts & comments.

OMELETTES

I made 3-egg omelettes for Lois & me this morning. They really turned out sloppy. Three eggs were one too many. When we lived in Hawaii I used to make cheese omelettes on Saturday morning. Then there was the morning I made omelettes with leftover nacho cheese. You'll have to ask my children how they turned out. [C'mon . . . Nathan, Sarah, Rachel . . . They weren't really that bad, were the4y?]

EGG SALAD

Sorry, Mark. I hate to distress you by writing about egg salad. I'm helping Lois make egg salad today. We go through it pretty fast, since I have such a taste for it. 

TU CASA, MI CASA

Last night we had supper at Tu Casa. [We've eaten there before.] It's pretty reasonable, & you get ample portions. Lois had some kind of soup. It had pollo in it. [I think that's Spanish for chicken. Correct me if I'm wrong.] It also had part of a corn-on-the-cob. She said it was good. I had seafood fajitas, which included fish, shrimp, scallops, octopus [Don't knock it till you've tried it.], & oysters. It was delicious. I asked for a box to take leftovers home, then forgot to take it with me. It sucks to be me.

CORONA UPDATE

As of 12/11, Madison County has 3488 confirmed cases, along with 30 deaths. There's an article in the Omaha World Herald this morning, announcing that hospitalizations seem to be stabilizing. I still do not believe everything I read about the effectiveness of mask mandates, although Lois & I are following Norfolk's mandate pretty faithfully.

Here are some "tried-&-failed" excuses for missing work.

* "I got my fingers stuck in a bowling ball."

* "I had a dream that my cat died, & now I'm afraid to leave her."

* "I rolled out of bed & knocked myself out, so I missed my alarm." 

* "I accidentally got on a plane."

* "My goldfish was ill."

* "My football team lost last night." [Husker fans can relate to this one.]

* "I needed a few hours to get the alcohol in my blood down to a legal level."
