Blog time 1020 at Panera

The folks on CNBC wished listeners a Happy Pi Day. It took me awhile to figure that today 3.14 was a reference to the math Pi, 3.1459265.

It was cold this morning. Temperature was 17 with a wind chill in single digits. Brrr.

Nancy for the first time in several weeks went swimming this morning. She was glad to get back in the exercise routine.

Because it was so cold I did all my exercise routine at home.

After breakfast walked to Panera. London papers this morning reported that in Australia all children must be vaccinated before attending school. Good move.

From the "can this be true file", the Canadian Girl Guides are cancelling all trips to camps in the USA because they fear that some girls won't be let back into Canada.

Alpena High travels to Sault Canada to play many sports. Will student athletes be impacted. Stupid, enough POTUS.

The UKs NHS (national health service) has been getting a lot of negative press. Poor service, long waits for hip surgery and the rationing of health care to elderly patients are some of the complaints.

The U.K has now got all the approvals it needs to start the clock running on their exit from the EU. Watched PM May meeting with legislators in an open session. It was fun to watch. All the hooting and hollering.

I have watched William Ackman the hedge fund guy on TV. He comes across as very arrogant. I am sure not many folks are feeling sorry for him as a took a major league hit on Valeant.

Intel is getting into smart cars. Will I be able to purchase a smart in my lifetime?

Today's headline in GRP says Meijer's will employ 10,000 folks to pick out and delivery groceries or any item in their stores. Remember the saying "What goes around comes around". As a boy we had home deliveries of milk, groceries and meat.

A Direct TV Tech came this afternoon and moved a TV into our living room. He also upgraded our dish.

I did a load of laundry and now will mail another form to the Cataract surgeon. What ever happened to the paperless society?

Spend some time talking to Jennifer Dougherty. Great catching up.

Nancy is fixing chicken for dinner tonight. It was great.

Read the GRP and we are now watching NCIS. Low tonight 10 and the temps will stay below freezing until Thursday.
