This and That for March 21st
This Spring, Mother Nature presented us with a blustery day and a freeze warning.That pod of dolphins visiting the SpaceX capsule splashdown site made a lot of people happy. I guess we needed something fun and innocent.
Jeff Shaara’s latest novel “The Shadow of War” is transporting me back to the days of the 1960s Cuban missile crisis when Floridians thought they were about to have a front-row seat to nuclear war.We learned today about a young New Zealander who broke the four-minute mile. Reminds me of the 1950s when I ran up and down our street trying to break the five-minute mile.The current Campbell’s ad for cheddar cheese soup has brought back the old “mmm mmm good” slogan. That also takes me back to the 1950s when pranksters called our phone number, sang “mmm mmm good” and hung up. That joke got old fast.I’m not going to claim that our recent septic tank problems have been fixed because that would jinx the plumbing.
