The headlines read “Despite complaints from executed inmates…”. (AOL news, Jan 27, 2014). “Executed” implies that it has already taken place. So, either they are complaining from the after life or the execution failed.
I heard a loud “Whump” while eating breakfast. Unsure of the origins, I looked outside.
Icy roads will do that.
The local weather forecast calls for “blizzard like conditions”. Now, I am not sure what they mean by “blizzard like conditions”. Since blizzards require wind speeds of 35 mph or greater I presume that “blizzard like conditions” mean that it will be cold and windy.
And while a wind speed of only 34 mph is technically not a blizzard, it is still cold non the less.
I getting very tired of Americans, who visit North Korean, only to get imprisoned there and then want the US to get them out.
What is the matter with these people? Did they think that they would be exempt from the actions of the crazy dictators? And what were they hoping to gain by going there? Bulgogi?
I put these people in the same category as bungee jumpers and sky divers. They think that they can beat the odds. And when they can’t, they become a problem for the EPA. But, with the North Korean group, when things go bad, they want Uncle Sam to bail them out,… for free of course.
Personally, I think that if you willfully chose to go to North Korea, then you should suffer the consequence. After all, you knew what your chances were before you left so why should I have to pay for your stupidity?
My gas range has a self cleaning oven. I have found this to be quite handy during this recent cold spell.
While my heating system does a great job of heating my house under normal weather conditions, it has a hard time keeping up with these sub-arctic temperatures. So, whenever I feel that the temperature is getting too low in the house, I clean the oven. And, for the next 3 hours, the house gets quite balmy.
Domhnach Na Fola is Gaelic for “Bloody Sunday’. Domhnach Na Fola took place on this date in 1972, when British Paratroopers opened fire on a peaceful civil rights parade in Northern Ireland killing 14 and wounding 14 more. Some of those demonstrators were shot in the back while fleeing. Others were gunned down while trying to assist the wounded.
A few years later, Bono wrote a song about the event called “Sunday, Bloody Sunday”.
The other day while reading the news online, I came across an article featuring chicken wing recipes. Since they sounded very delicious, I thought that I might give them a try.
So, when I was at Meijer (regional grocery chain) I decided to check them out. Needless to say, I was shocked at the price. $2.75 per pound! Wow!
Wondering if the price of chicken had jumped, I picked up a package of chicken breasts to compare. The breasts were $1.29 per pound which is much more in line with chicken prices. So, I purchased the chicken breasts in stead. After all, chicken fingers could be just as tasty as chicken wings.
I wonder what the price of chicken wings will be after the Super Bowl?
Spring is in the air, or at least it is at Meijer (regional grocery chain). They have already started putting out their grills and patio furniture. Unfortunately, with sub-zero temperatures outside, it is hard to be interested in buying a hammock.
The other day while traveling through Cambridge MA, I noticed sign on a Mexican restaurant which advertised “inspired burritos”. Well OK. The next time that I order a burrito, I will ask if it is inspired.
The other day when we checked into our room in Cambridge MA, we noticed a couple of bottles of spring water sitting on our desk. And, since I was thirsty, I opened one up. That is when I noticed that $2.75 price on the bottle. Well, needless to say, we didn’t drink any more of their bottled water.
