More evidence for those who believe WWIII is underway. Headline from nypost.com: “Finland and Sweden scramble fighter jets together against Russia in historic first.”

As sad as this is, it should surprise no one. Headline from newsmax.com: “Study: 44% of Dems OK With Violence to Stop Trump.” It’s what hardcore leftists from Hitler to Stalin to Mao have always done.

From NM: “Trump Ends EV Mandate, OKs New Fuel Standards.” Good, but will it be erased after the midterms?

Headline from foxnews.com: “Iran under scrutiny after plot foiled near UK base used by US military.” Red Alert coast to coast and wherever U. S. forces serve around the world.

Among today’s celebrations, it’s Ask a Stupid Question Day. Why are so many Americans leaning toward socialism? Why is it a dumb question? Because the answer is obvious. Folks are hoping socialism is the answer to affordability. Big mistake, see California and New York.

There’s been an ad running on Facebook for an electric shaver touting “German precision.” Since I’ve been dissatisfied since Day One with the flathead shaver I bought a couple of years ago, I decided to give it a shot, despite my skepticism, as it was only $40. It’s tiny, an inch-and-a-half by an inch-and-a-half. The head came off three times while I was shaving, probably because I was pressing too hard. The results were no better or worse than the flathead. It’s not the Mercedes Benz of shavers…Today I ordered eyeglasses, also made with “German precision,” which claim to adapt to any vision problem and have a tab on the side that turns them into sunglasses, which sold me on giving them a try. If they work, awesome. If not, so what? BOGO, also $40. There were four tabs for tip levels. I chose “None.” I hope that doesn’t lead to sabotage. It’s nice to have money to burn.

I’ve come up with an ending for my as yet untitled short story that will probably disappoint most folks. I simply refuse to go the maniac route that so many writers and filmmakers take.

Nor’easter Day Three: light rain, far less wind, no damage, just debris in our immediate area. Begone!
