This ‘n That
* Did you know Prince’s song, “Little Red Corvette,” is turning 40 years old this year? How can that be since I am only 38?
* Thank you, Senator Roger Marshall, for standing up for our flag! On Flag Day, Marshall honored Old Glory by introducing the One Flag For All Act. This legislation prohibits any flag other than the American flag from being flown, draped, or displayed on federal buildings, with certain exceptions. (Exemptions include Prisoner of War (POW) flags, Country flags for visiting diplomats, state flags for members of Congress displaying the flag at their official office, Tribal flags, military flags at military bases and institutions, and any flag that represents a state, territory, county, city, or local jurisdiction in which the public building is located.) This legislation came following the Biden Administration’s breach of the U.S. Flag Code when a Pride flag was hung centered between two American flags at the White House.
* I will try this to kill the weeds in my yard. Mix one gallon of white vinegar, one cup of table salt, and one tablespoon of dish soap. You are supposed to spray the weeds in the morning and then let the sun do the rest.
* I am done with Garth Brooks. * I read this and thought I would pass it on. “To all those stores that have self checkout. The last time I was there, you had a lady stopping everyone at the exit, checking receipts. I didn’t choose to participate in that nonsense, so I just skipped the exit line and left. I heard her saying, ‘Sir, uh, sir,’ as I kept walking and raised the receipt above my lead before leaving the store. You can either trust me to do self-checkout, or you can put your cashiers back in place like it used to be. I’m not interested in proving that I did your job for you. You want me to be a cashier with no training, then that’s your problem, not mine. Don’t audit me for a position you refuse to employ any longer. Signed, All of us.” And I would add that I want to get paid for the work I do for you or at least get 10% off my bill!
* My hollyhocks this year are loaded with blooms in red, pink, and white shades. I love them all and want you to know that none of them are growing where I planted them, but rather where God saw fit to put them. That makes the flowers even more special.
* I heard Ryan Seacrest might replace Pat Sajak on Wheel of Fortune when he retires after this season. Please don’t do that. And don’t even think of considering Whoopi Goldberg!
* I keep hearing that nobody reads the newspaper anymore. I want to say, yes, they do.
* Sorry, Deb, math was not my strong point in school.
