   He could get a high and tight before drill weekend and everyone is happy.

   What is the worst that could happen? Mahome’s ankle (I hope not) or Kelce being dumped by Swift? If the latter happened it would be terrible for the money grabbers in the NFL. They would lose all their newly acquired Swifty fans.

   They are getting in a pretty heavy story line here. I just hope the realize that if Piro does suffer from PTSD that it can be very complex. I hope they don’t turn him into a project for Bernice.

   As an aside – he could be Navy reserve.

   In a trauma first aid class we saw an actual video of an Afghan soldier on patrol with some Marines. An IED went off right in front of him. A Marine started basic first aid, in less than two minutes he was joined by two corpsman who opened up bags that looked like portable hospitals. They worked on the injured soldier for about ten minutes before a helo arrived to evacuate him. The injuries were very severe, yet the Afghan soldier lived. (As was reported at the end of the video). Turns out one of the corpsman in the video was our class instructor.

   Public utilities are considered high priority, like public safety and hospitals. They do get priority.

   My wife and I once had a condo within walking distance the police station and fire headquarters. We were usually the first for power restoration.

   We moved to a neighboring town about 30 years ago that has a town electric department. I can count on one hand the number of times that power was lost for a large area. We have had short term outages because a pole was struck or a transformer needed replacement. Our rates are only about 70% of what the public utility customers pay in the surrounding towns and city.

   We recently had a meter upgrade, all digital. Before I was paying electric bills I used to be fascinated by how fast that wheel spun in the summer when the AC units were fired up.

   Calvin is like one of my younger brothers. Once he developed a pulley-counterweight so the heavy ladder to the above ground pool deck could be easily lifted and secured without assistance. My father didn’t know he did it and one afternoon went to lock the ladder and gave a big heave and nearly to knocked himself out. Another time- he rigged it so that all of the cabinets in the kitchen could be opened at the same time. He couldn’t figure out a practical use for that one, but it was cool.

   Take social media with a grain of salt. Just because someone disagrees with you doesnt make that person a hater. Not every reaction is outrage, and that influencers life is no more real than a movie set.

   Especially when other prisoners start to disappear.

    I’m a big Calvin and Hobbes fan as well as Wallace the Brave. Two key differences Calvin was a loner and dreamer. Wallace is a leader of a social group and puts his plans into action.
