BRRR!

So, last night at bedtime, I went to turn down the heat, as always. The thermostat didn't respond. In our efforts to get it to work, we somehow turned on the air-conditioning & couldn't get it off again. The air-conditioning ran all night. It's a little brisk this morning.

NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS

So Nebraska lost to Texas in the quarter-finals of the NCAA championships in Omaha. However, Nebraska's bowling team just won their 6th national championship. Take that, Texas!

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

"Alex White thought he was watching a huge worm writhing in plastic-wrapped lettuce he'd just brought home from a Sydney (Australia) supermarket--until a snake tongue flicked . . . It was a venomous pale-headed snake that authorities said made a 540-mile journey to Sydney from a packing plant in the Australian city of Toowoomba wrapped in plastic with two heads of cos lettuce." Norfolk Daily News 4/15

GUN CONTROL

"The default position for the president and other progressive politicians seems to be to call for more gun control laws. They never say how a law, or laws, would deter someone with or without a mental condition and with the intent to murder from acquiring a weapon. People intent on murder will find a way, no matter how many laws are passed. The prisons are full of inmates for whom laws did not act as a deterrent . . . 

"If a political leader can come up with a law that will reverse the cultural rot that has diminished life's value, I will enthusiastically endorse it. In the interim there needs to be a greater emphasis on people with mental health problems and in efforts that keep firearms from them. Strengthening laws allowing authorities to detain such people for longer periods than the Indianapolis shooter was held, while forcing them to get necessary treatment, would be a good start." Cal Thomas, Townhall 4/20

She runs the Bigfoot Crossroads of America Museum in Hastings & is planning her 4th Nebraska Bigfoot Conference . . . McFeely keeps track on a map at the museum of the many Bigfoot sightings in Nebraska . . . She herself said she has seen one four times." Norfolk Daily News 4/9
