According to the latest issue of the Sierra Club magazine, fewer people are struck by lightning than in the past. The reason: fewer people go outside.
One of the most exciting finishes I have ever seen in a football game was in the last quarter of the Vikings-Saints playoff this evening. I only watched the 4th quarter, but that was an amazing quarter.
The Times today had a chart of the decline in support for Trump among 66 different groups, such as unemployed workers, Westerners, people aged 18-29, Jews, rural adults, and so on. Not a single group increased in support for Trump, but 12 groups were still above 50% in support. Want to know what they are? Of course you do.
They are: Evangelicals (WWJD?), military households (this is scary), Republican women (no pride, sad), Protestants (again, WWJD), Republicans (over 80%, no patriotism there), Support Tea Party (expected), Conservatives (really?) Top issue Security (Yeah, we are a LOT safer), Republican men (slightly more than Republican women), Voted Romney in 12 (but evidently not Romney himself); voted 3rd party in 12 (I sure hope none of those are Green or Libertarian), and voted for Trump in 16 (the most supportive group; they are also known as people who drank the Koolaid).
If you want to forget all of this, go see “Paddington Bear 2.” It is a wonderful–movie-funny, heartwarming, with a good message. Take your kids or grandkids.
