Good m-m-morning! Its a chilly mid-40s at my house. And wow: that tornado in Longview is confirmed to be an E F-1 twister, and damage is extensive to buildings, cars, even the roof of an elementary school, where thankfully the kids werent playing. Nobody got hurt. An EF1 is small by Kansas standards, but you know what Dorothy says. This happens every couple of years, here, and were just so glad that everyones OK! btw were still expected to get some wind on Saturday night, maybe 45 MPH in the valley, but meteorologists are uncertain. A Doctors Without Borders physician, back home in New York, has tested positive for Ebola. Prior to becoming symptomatic, he went jogging, rode on three subways, and went bowling; the bowling alley is now closed as a precaution. Billionaire and good-guy Paul Allen has pledged to contribute at least $100 million to the fight against Ebola. Say, some fact-checking was done on that TV ad supporting Oregons marijuana legalization measure featuring King County, Washington Sheriff John Urquhart. In it, he states that DUI arrests are down since Washington legalized pot. The implication is that its a result of weed being legal. KING-TV reports that pot-related DUIs have actually gone up from 988 to 1262 in the year since legalization. But overall DUIs are down..as part of a trend thats been going on for years. There may be valid reasons to regulate pot instead of letting the (black) market handle it. But cutting down DUIs isnt one of them. I suppose its the upside of climate change: a photographic notebook from an ill-fated Antarctic expedition has been found after a century trapped in the ice, which is melting Authorities have yanked the plug on another high school footballs season for subjecting freshmen to stupid initiation rituals, like covering their heads with towels and marching them into the shower and calling it waterboarding (which it isnt). The high school involved is Central Bucks, in Philly--the same high school from which the singer Pink dropped out. The number one song 50 years ago today was Well Sing in the Sunshine by Gayle Garnett. Even when I was a little kid, that song bothered me. Shell stay with him just one year, and then be on her way? What the hell kind of relationship is that? From that song on, Ive paid attention to lyrics. Katie Perry turns 30 on Saturday. Speaking of lyrics. Just Google Last Friday Night. My Friday night will be much tamer--watching the Ducks play at the Cal Golden Bears. Kickoff at 7. By the way Texas A&M has backed off a challenging home-and-home football showdown between the Aggies and the University of Oregon in 2018 and 2019. Theyre opting for cupcakes for their nonconference schedule. The Ducks may quack...but what I hear from College Station is bwak bwak bwak bwak.. Cary Elwes is 52 on Sunday. As you wish! https://youtube/watch?v=IzoWiiCllw4 And a little video reminder that you dont have to put up with bullies and mean people. Enjoy your Friday and weekend!
