Sunday Thoughts

Image
I have some thoughts I'd like to share with you. Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons gave a tremendous show at Hartman Arena in Wichita Friday evening. The Four Seasons have been my favorite group since 1964. I got to shake his hand which was a real thrill. He is playing in Dallas tonight and, if you have never attended one of his concerts, I highly encourage you to do so. While Kathleen and I were attending the concert in Wichita Friday evening, our son, Brandon, was on his way home from north Kansas City. He saw a truck spin on the ice and roll four times.

If you keep your car in the garage, it is fine to warm your car in the garage but only if you open your garage door to allow the exhaust to escape. Otherwise, you are setting yourself up for carbon monoxide poisoning

Comment: If the catastrophic global warming hypothesis -- which says sea levels will rise faster and faster -- his new home will be under water. Like the hotel boom in the Maldives: The catastrophic global warming clique says one thing…and, does another.
