Random things

* First up, the Super Bowl. Oh you know, I'm not a sports fan...but I love an event. I used to be a big NBA fan, so I remember how exciting the championship game(s) is. They worked hard to get there. Their fans are excited. So I watched the score on Google. It looked like it was a pretty good game, not one sided. 

Today everyone is talking about the ads though. Which ones were hits and which ones were meh. AOC criticized the Christian ads saying, Jesus would not fund commercials to "make fascism look benign"

Here's one of the ads;
Webster's says fascism is;
a political philosophy, movement, or regime that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition

I wish she would shut up.

* Next up, headlights. For many years now, I've been complaining about how bright car headlights are. Honestly, ever since I had cataract surgery they are blinding me at night! Well damn, it turns out that it's not just me!!! Yay!!

* And what the heck happened to the Westminster Dog Show?!?! I'll tell you...they moved it, permanently, to May 6th. At least I haven't missed it.

* In Vermont, the ice-fishing tournament was canceled after 3 fishermen fell through the ice and died. I don't know - shouldn't someone have known that the ice was too thin before l
they let people compete on it?

* And this doesn't have anything to do with anything but it's so puzzling to us! The lady across the street, who loves to decorate her yard for every holiday? The crazy Halloween one? Currently she has 2 sheds in her back yard and a 2 story playhouse and maybe a small pirate ship. Today she's having another shed built. It must look like a tiny house neighborhood back there! 
We need to figure out our drone so we can spy on our neighbors :-)
