Nor'easter Travel Nightmare


Last night, I was watching the induction of the band Journey to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Arnel Pineda, the current lead singer of Journey is not Steve Perry, but does an outstanding job.

In April of 2007, I traveled to Cleveland, Ohio, to attend a friend's wedding. Later that weekend, visited the Rock's Hall Museum in downtown Cleveland with a small group of the wedding attendees. It's a museum established to honor and preserve the history of rock and roll music. Great exhibits and if you are into rock and roll like I do, you'll have loads of fun. The museum was awesome.

The thing that stuck out for me happened after I returned the car rental at the airport that afternoon and learned that all the flights to Philly, Washington DC and New York were cancelled.

As you know I don't watch TV, so I wasn't aware of a nor'easter storm that was affecting the eastern part of the United States. I got stranded at the airport in Cleveland the whole Sunday night after all the flights on the east coast were cancelled. I had to contact my supervisor to let her know I wasn't going to make it to the health center the next day.

I spent the next day in the air, after my flight was rerouted from Cleveland to St Louis, then back to Philadelphia. The whole ordeal was a nightmare.

A Funny Thing Happened At The Dentist Today


When your dentist greets you warmly and asks about your family or work, this is probably a good sign your dentist likes you.

I've written about my favorite dentist before, and the circumstances how I ended up getting my dental services with him almost 20 years ago. Before I met him, I've been scared of dentists since I was traumatized at the age of seven.

The reason I love to visit my dentist is twofold. I get my teeth cleaned; today got my second cleaning this year. Plus, I am updated in the latest MAGA conspiracy theories stories from my dentist secretary.

So you see, I get my excellent dental care service, plus I am entertained by the secretary fringe beliefs. Deep down, I think she is trying to persuade me into joining her party. I try not to laugh, but she is funny and the way she describes her conspiracy theories is hilarious.

Trump Secretly Sent Covid Tests To Putin During 2020 Shortage

It appears that Donald Trump is the greatest asset and foreign agent Russia has ever had. It feels like it was just yesterday when the Rosenbergs were convicted and executed for sharing secret information with the Soviet Union.

Today we have former president Trump taking multiple private phone calls at Mar-A-Lago with Russian President Vladimir Putin, even after Trump left the White House. All while Trump was pressuring Republicans in Congress to block military aid to Ukraine. This should be considered as treason.

And nothing but crickets from the GOP! I wouldn't be surprised if this is the only thing he gave Putin. I find it hard to believe that our intelligence Community did not know they were having these conversations and exactly what they said!

It is also alleged that in 2020 Trump secretly sent Putin Covid tests machines, for Putin's personal use. This happened during the early days of Covid when in the United States we were having shortages of Covid tests of our own and there was no Covid vaccine available.

Can you imagine the political scandal if we learned at the time that Trump secretly sent much needed Covid test and machines to Russia, our biggest political enemy, when Americans were dying here in the United States due to the lack of proper equipment?

Trump's camp put out a release vehemently denying they ever did such thing, but the Kremlin says they did. Today the Kremlin exposed Trump lies and confirmed the Covid report. Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told Bloomberg that Russia had indeed secretly received COVID tests from Trump.

Anyone stupid enough to be surprised by these revelations hasn't been paying attention.
