All of the weather forecasters in the area told us that we would not have snow on Christmas. Well, they were wrong again. Fortunately, it wasn’t a blizzard.

Storm Predictions.
Not only can our weather teams predict the weather, they can also tell down to the minute when it will hit our communities. I mean, if they are going to be wrong about the weather anyway, they may as well be wrong about it big time.
Just Doing A House Check.
Some local sheriffs are now going house to house checking doors and windows to make sure that they are locked. Isn’t that trespassing since they don’t have a warrant to search your property?
Clean Juice Bar.
I saw a segment on the news that was talking about a “Clean Juice Bar”. So, I was confused. Does the clean refer to the juice or the bar?
USPS Spam.
I got an email from the USPS. It said that some of my mail had been lost and to call them right away. When I clicked on the number that they listed, the person on the other end identified themselves as working for Apple. When you are a spammer, it is hard to keep your lies straight. When I tired calling back a little later, the site had been removed.
Personal Checks.
Whenever I run out of personal checks, I reorder several years worth on line. However after doing so, I get daily offers from my check company wanting to sell me more checks. I guess they figure that if they present the right offer, then I will buy 20 years worth of checks.
Mary Poppins Returns.
We recently saw “Mary Poppins Returns”. Very fun family movie. And while the music was nice, there just weren’t any memorable songs.
Fixing My iPhone 5.
A few weeks ago, my iPhone 5 quit making or receiving calls. I tried an assortment of maneuvers to get it to work but all of them failed. All of the other aspects of the phone worked, I simply did not have any “bars”. I finally saw a segment on the news that stated the problem was the result of a glitch in the operating system. And the way to fix it was to remove the operating system and reinstall it. So, I gave it a try and sure enough, it worked. Well, that saved my a chunk of money.
Coyote Proof Your Dogs.
There is now body armor for your pets. It consists of a jacket made with a fabric that resists bites and is loaded with barbs and spikes. And while it does give your dog a “punk” look, it is probably quite effective.
Colored Soap.
The car wash that I use now features colored soap. I guess that it makes the wash experience more enjoyable. Unfortunately, it is completely lost on me.
