It has been a frustrating day for me.\u00a0 Last night, I unlocked my desk to take my bedtime meds, locked it up, and went directly to bed.\u00a0 When I got up, I started to prepare breakfast and headed for the throne, but I could not lock my door, because the lanyard with my keys, that I wear 24\/7, was not around my neck.\u00a0 It has to be in my room, because I had never left the room, since the last time\u00a0 I used it.\u00a0 I searched for three hours and could not find it.\u00a0 I finally broke down and called a locksmith to pick and re-key the lock on my desk, so I could take my meds.\u00a0 That’s $255 worth of ARGH!\u00a0 The Manager gave me the duplicate room keys and a new door FOB.\u00a0 To make matters worse, 89\u00b0 may not be 90\u00b0, but it’s still too stinking hot!\u00a0 Tomorrow will be better at 80\u00b0, but it will take two or three days for the building to bleed off the heat.\u00a0 TGIF!!<\/span><\/p>\n

Today’s took me 3:35 (average 4:49).\u00a0 To do it, click here<\/a>.\u00a0 How did you do?<\/span><\/p>\n

The important part was the first quarter and the first half of the second, because both teams substituted liberally after that.\u00a0 At that point, my Broncos led 10 – 0.\u00a0 The Bears introduced a rookie QB named Mitch Trobiski.\u00a0\u00a0 Watch out world!\u00a0 Some day that Bear will shit in the woods, and wherever else he wants!<\/span><\/p>\n

Short Takes<\/strong>:<\/span><\/p>\n

From Alternet<\/a>: <\/span>Stephen Colbert knows exactly where he stands on President Trump’s “fire and fury” threat toward North Korea.<\/p>\n

“I’d like to go on the record. I do not want the Earth to blow up,” the Late Show host said. “That’s where my house is.”<\/p>\n

He described the president’s threatening language as being akin to telling North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, “Go ahead, kill everybody. I’ll kill ’em deader. Then who wins?”<\/p>\n
