Some people think they’re really smart. They have a tendency to be snarky and sarcastic for no other reason than to make themselves feel superior. They’re also prone to passive aggression, and they have a knack for creating frustrating situations.
I’m trying to get back to blogging at least once a day. I was derailed for a week or so.
Yesterday my brother came over to watch the World Series Game 1. We missed the first half hour because I wanted to watch “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown”. If there’s a Charlie Brown special on, I have to watch it.
I cooked a pasta-burger mix and there was plenty for both of us.
Well, I’m having a slow day, but I got some work done. Going to cook steak. Game 2 starts at 8.
Before the Nazis Killed Jews, They Euthanized Hundreds of Thousands of Disabled People
While all that was happening in Nazi German, the United States had similar system in place. Thousands of people with disabilities were locked up and sterilized.
I think Ellen’s friendship with Bush shows us that there is hope, that the gape between conservatives and liberals can be bridged. Not just because Ellen is friends with Bush, but also because Bush is friends with Ellen.
This quote from the Railway Man comes to mind, “Sometime the hating has to stop.”
Does anyone remember when TV cartoon characters would break character, look directly into the camera and say, “Kids, we’re trained professionals. Don’t try this at home.”?
I wonder how creators felt about that. It seemed like an unnecessary interruption in an otherwise entertaining show. On one hand, I guess it could have made kids feel they had a more personal connection to the cartoon character. On the other hand, I think it could have put off some kids and confused them about the story or the character, especially if the character was a villain.
I think it was a government issued requirement of the time.
This was a very productive day. I might’ve kept going, but the Astro-Ray game started and Verlander is pitching. This is Game 4. If the Astros win today, they win the division. If they lose, there’ll be Game 5.
The Braves and Cardinals are 2-2, so are the Dodgers and Nationals. They’ll all settle in their Game 5s.
Oh, and the Yankees already swept out the Twins.
