Cylindrical

 Sunday, the day of rest, and I did sleep in a for a bit.  The skies are over cast and the temperatures are hovering around 32 (F).  After today, things are going to begin warming up again.  We're hitting the mid 60's (F).  Tuesday will be a day for cleaning up the yard.

When they emptied out the house next door, they threw lots of detritus out of the 2nd story and 3rd story windows.  Papers and lite weight items blew all over the neighborhood, some finding a home behind my fence.  Things that I've picked up in my front yard so far:  personal letters, medical reports, and tax documents.  That and supermarket shopping bags, some of which are hung up in the branches of the trees surrounding my house like tiny ghosts waiting for a breeze to free them.

One of my Navy friends is turning 70 on the 25th.  His wife thought it would be nice if 70 of his friends could send him a birthday card.  I like the idea and put a note in my calendar to make sure I mailed one off in time.  Another of my friends thought it a good idea, too, however he asked her to send him a reminder on the 20th.  That's right, he wants a reminder.  (Heavy sigh).

So I got the letter from PP&L detailing the price increase.  Wowza!  In June of 2021 the rate dropped .6 per KWH, however in December of that year it started climbing, increasing by 3.5 per KWH, and then in January of 2023 it increased by another 2.2 KWH.  Someone, somewhere is making mucho moola.  This is why inflation is high.  Everybody's in it for the buck.

Wyoming is raising a stink because there's a group of people who want to actually set the age at which young people can get married.  The Republicans are up in arms.  You know those Cracker Jack Crazies are going to that's against their religion.  There's nothing in their bible which set the age of consent.  The fact that 2000 years ago many children didn't survive birth, and if they did, it was quite possible their mother might not doesn't occur to them.  Because of this, young girls were married off as soon as they could bear children.  See, in the Christian mind, even back then women were nothing more than breeders.

The Super Bowl's this evening.  Guess who isn't going to be watching.

Finally, another UFO was shot down over Canada.  We have a tad more information about this, since one of the Canadian spokespersons said the object was cylindrical.  That sort of rules out a balloon, unless, of course the Chinese shop for their balloons at their local supermarket where they come in all sorts of shapes and sizes.
