I knew this would happen.

A number of years ago, in a mad rush to stop global warming, our leaders (in their infinite wisdom) decided to outlaw incandescent light bulbs.  So, as usual, they threw the baby out with the bath water and forbade the manufacture of the offending bulbs in the United States.

There were some people -mostly medical pros, I believe- who dissented with the wholesale abandonment of the incandescent bulb, and who saw problems with the highly toxic LED bulbs. But that’s the way we do things–jump in with both feet–.

Well now there is some backlash, also from a medical professor of some sort (I couldn’t get the information as I was in my car listening to the report on the radio) who is saying these bulbs are doing real harm and should be replaced–with incandescent bulbs–.  This is beginning  to remind me of my telephone hassle.  Why is it always an all or nothing thing?  For a number of years, we were able to buy incandescent bulbs on line, but that source has dried up.

I still have some, so I’m not worried right now.

There is so much crapola in this world that sometimes, I despair.

At least my errands got done and my car got 15 miles on it.

Enough for today.

Have a good night all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

This is possibly the worlds most magnificent animal

I love these horses.  They look and move like some steed from a fairy tale.  Just incredible beauty.

Traffic stop reveals coach’s abuse of many kids

At least he got caught.  I found it somewhat unclear as to whether he was fleeing or not, but it seemed like he was.

Sorry for the lack of posts

Sorry there were so few posts today, but I had some things that had to be addressed.  I was still wiped out from the Verizon song and dance which ended up taking a lot of the day yesterday.  It ran into the early evening and my body and brain kind of shut down around 4 o clock.

I even got a follow up call today from one of the techs at Verizon and he did not know about the *69 feature being incompatible with the system I have now.  It truly is a case of the right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing.  Verizon had always been so good, and so professional–now it sounds like they are in free-fall.

And I have a ton of stuff stacked up for tomorrow.

One of the things I had wanted to cover today was a surprise Noreaster coming up the coast.  It may affect us.  That’s why I have to get those things done tomorrow.  Including taking the car for a spin.  I have decided that next week I will arrange to have my electrical system checked to see what is draining the battery.  I hope that isn’t going to cost a jillion dollars.

Having said all that, I’ll close.

Have a good night, all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

Just saw this ..Pope attends fallen mounted policewoman

If you click on the watch on youTube link the video will come up.

Never in my life have I seen or heard of a Pope who actually got out of the vehicle and attended someone like this.  Good for him!

There’s a pretty big uptake in rabies exposure nationwide.

I’ve seen quite a few of these stories lately.  Wonder why?
