Happy New Year 2022!

 

Who wants to go for a cold swim?

 

The decision involves tires

Today, the key decision was not: pool or beach?

The key decision was: which tire store should I go to?

Yep, we had to have a tire replaced on the van because apparently a hole allows air to escape. (By the way, one of the ways I attempt to serve is by occasionally providing physics information.) 

So, which tire store did I choose? Easy: the closest one.

Fortunately, they were experts at air, rubber, wheels, compressors, cotton candy and the physics involved in these types of matters. And, therefore, we are once again riding on tires that are remaining inflated with air. (The ride is much smoother when the tires have air in them.)

…Now, pool or beach?

He Came to Bring Light to a Dark World - Christmas Eve

 

Time for Christmas Shopping!

I’m very proud to say that this year I did not wait until the last minute to do all my Christmas shopping!

It’s the day BEFORE Christmas Eve and I’m thinking about the possibility of, perhaps, getting ready to, maybe, get out there, pretty soon, and get started!

Did you notice that phrase? “Day before Christmas Eve!” I suspect many of you are impressed, some are inspired, and others have already stopped reading this post.

“LET’S GET THE SHOW ON THE ROAD!!!”

A great photo

I took a really cool photo of a deer today. It was the kind of photo that you would see in a magazine…if people still looked at magazines (which they don’t). And I thought, “Wow, when I post this photo people will smile and be happy.”

They will probably think, “Man, that’s a great photo of a deer! I wish I was looking at it in a really fancy magazine.”

But somehow—while deleting a bunch of other photos—I seem to have accidentally deleted my great deer photo. So here is a photo I took while standing in line at the pharmacy, instead.

I know. Sometimes life can be very disappointing.

Reminded of Six Million Dollar Man

In the past couple of days I have been reminded, on two different occasions, of a television show from the 70s called “The Six Million Dollar Man.”

Does anyone else have a recollection of this program?

My memory is a little foggy, but as I recall, The Six Million Dollar Man was a real life documentary that chronicled the adventures of Colonel Steve Austin. Col. Austin was seriously injured in the crash of some type of rocket ship but because of incredibly advanced medical technology, like stethoscopes, he was miraculously kept alive. Both of his legs, one arm, and one of his eyes were replaced with bionic parts. This project cost the United States government…you guessed it: Six million dollars!

So, Col. Austin was forced to secretly work for the government because they invested a lot of money in him, and they can do that if large amounts of money are involved. Or, if they just want to do something like this really badly. (Six million dollars was a lot of money in the 70s.)

Col. Austin had supernatural strength, speed, vision and a very cool jogging suit. (Jogging suits were an important staple of a snazzy wardrobe in the 70s.) And he would utilize his impressive new abilities to go around solving crimes and preventing frightening disasters brought about by evil scheming bad guys.

You know what? As I describe the Six Million Dollar Man TV show, it occurs to me that it may not have been a real-life documentary, after all.

 

What do I think about "The Chosen" television series?
