Raquel Welch has passed at age 82.

One more celebrity crush I had growing up.

(sighs)

Irony is getting a bad sinus headache on a beautiful day that begs you to go outdoors.

... corrupts absolutely.

It should be the motto of my hometown.

As soon as 3 years ago our mayor and several others were sent to jail for bribery.

The long time nickname of our fair city has been 'Little Chicago'.

Aptly named.

If the people here weren't so nice I'd have moved away years ago...

without any monetary aid.

My guide to weight loss:

Eat less, exercise more.

It's not rocket science, people.

Guess what I'm making for dinner tonight?


Hopefully without the same results.

Monday through Friday I work out and walk for exercise.

Today I'll be going to the grocery, topping off my gas tank and running other little errands.

But come Sunday,

I'll spend my day of rest watching sports and movies.

Ahhh...

And the hits just keep coming.

Thanks to all for helping me reach this milestone.

Today's walk brought to mind another saying:

I was blown away.

50-60 mph winds will do that to you.

Have a doggone happy day:

I have a hard time understanding all the arguments over someone being transgender.

So what?

When I was growing up, I remember some guys being what we called effeminate. It didn't mean they were gay.

It didn't stop me from interacting with them as people.

If John feels more comfortable as Joan, so be it.

I've heard some people say that if a guy can needs to shave he can't be considered a woman.

That's not much of an argument to me.

When my father passed away, a woman came to my dad's funeral. She was dressed up in a nice dress.

The thing about her that stood out was she had a mustache... thicker than mine.

I asked my mother about it later and she told me the lady had dark hair and when she was younger tried to shave off the hair on her upper lip.

After a while she gave up and her husband didn't care.

This was before waxing and electric hair removal became the norm.

My point is that we shouldn't judge people for how they look.

If Joan identifies with being John, I don't care.

I just want to get the name right.
