The television is full of the Mueller report that has just been released! I have 4 people on channel 11 explaining to me what the report says. See, I am not smart enough to read something and know what it says, so they have to tell me. Hmm. Seems my late husband had a saying that fits the cause here. "Opinions are just like assholes! Every body has one and most of them stink." Just saying that this is the time of morning when Millionaire comes on for my perusal enjoyment. I love that game along with Jeopardy and any other trivia game that comes on my television set.
I do not know if the American people have yet figured out that when my game shows are interrupted for a basketball game, a special bulletin from Washington, it thrills me almost as much as when the "breaking weather" preempts what I am watching so I can stare for 3 hours at the weather map and watch a tiny cloud on the horizon that might or might not come to fruition as a snowflake on the road between Colorado Springs and Denver. The broadcaster must warn motorists of the hazards if this actually happens. Not once, not twice, but over and over and over again. These people out there driving are not smart enough to check the weather before they leave one job to go to another. Now how many of these motorists have an actual television set in the car and are actually watching that little cloud is beyond my comprehension. While I am comfy in my chair waiting for a Jeopardy! rerun that is not going to happen the world in the television weather room is a bustle of a man in a suit or a lady in a little blue dress walking back and forth across in front of the camera smiling.
Now I have got to go on record here as saying, my life is pretty much boring or this would not bother me. I have lived many years on this earth and seen about all there is to see. I can actually remember back when Winter weather was predicted by the length of the hairs on the caterpillar and rainfall was predicted by how high up the mud dauber built her nest. Leaves folded inward if the weather was going to be dry. And President Franklin Roosevelt had little fireside chats with us on the radio so we knew what was going on with our government. And when the war ended it took him 3 words to tell us, "The War is over." And we knew the war was over. Three means of communications were "Telephone, Telegraph and Tell a friend."
Well, the crisis with the Mueller report must be over for the time being because I hear the sounds of "The Price is Right" on the downstairs television. Brandi from the Travel Agency just called me so I could hang up on her. Soon someone else will call to send me my new credit card! And then there is that trip I can go on if I hurry. But I have other plans for today.
I am going to crawl in my little car here pretty quick and go meet a couple lady friends at the Red Lobster. Yummers! Then I am going to come home and see if I can possibly load a couple television sets in the back of my car and take them to the recycle place and pay them $60 to take them. Maybe I will get something done down stairs in that one bedroom since I have someone coming to stay with me for a while in May. Or maybe not.
The nice part of being an old woman living alone is I do not actually have to do anything at all. Oh, watch Jeopardy! at 3:00 and again at 6:30. And then there is my 8:00 bedtime. Seems I am sleeping a lot more lately, but that is alright, because I have very nice dreams!
