Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thoughts

Here’s what’s on my mind (pure energy):

1.  I was north of Dallas Texas for an entire week last week to celebrate a combined Thanksgiving and Christmas with my Mom, Dad, Brother, Sister-In-Law, and Canine Nephew. We also visited extended family up near Wichita Falls Texas. That’s the first time I had ever been to that fine city. I’d like to visit it again this upcoming Summer. I may drive there. ROAD TRIP !

2.  Neither airport that I flew in and out of – FLL nor DFW – was hardly busy on the Saturday before and the Saturday after Thanksgiving. My keen observation summarizes that holiday air travel is a casualty this year of the global recession that we’re in.

3.  So America has officially been in a recession for an entire year now – since December 2007. This just in. I am not in a recession. I remain in a vast economic expansion – one that has lasted for over 15 years. Many of you reading this are also in an economic expansion (although you may deny it). Many Americans claim that they are in a recession, but couldn’t tell you why they state so. ‘Because they said so on television’ is not a valid reason why you are in a recession.

4.  According to the National Weather Service it was the coldest November in 24 years in Miami, the coldest in 27 years in West Palm Beach and Naples, and the coldest in 38 years on Miami Beach. I blame this on global warming. 🙄

5.  Happiness Is – Performing a well-orchestrated ‘grab and save’ at a local neighbourhood Walgreens store and saving a whopping $9.00 while purchasing only two unique items within a matter of a few mere minutes. I also saved $9.10 versus the normal prices that I would have paid for these two items at Publix. Cyber Monday – It’s not just online anymore !

Those are my thoughts on this Tuesday night. Thank You for your time.
