RANDOM THOUGHTS

Doctors orders: Drink more water ! I cannot recall ever drinking water for the first 82 years of my life and survived in reasonable health. Now I take on enormous amounts of H2O. I started this drinking only the best( or so I thought ). It turns out that there is an great controversy over the merits of distilled over tap water. Tap water seems to have won and now that is what I drink with its horrible chlorine and fluoride.

What a shame that the Feds poke their noses into all phases of our lives. They have made a mess of the education of our kids to the tune of $100,000,ooo ,000 or more. Somehow it has become the duty of the government to feed the kids. How nice for the parents to be relieved of this responsibility.

The Feds also seem to think that every one should own a home whether or not they can afford it. What a pretty kettle if fish this has made of the ruined real estate market

My love of country knows no bounds. You may call me a jingoist and I will take it as a compliment. I do not need the symbolism of the flag or the anthem ( an ugly piece of music ) to stir my patriotic feelings.

The ridiculous monstrosity now under construction at ground zero is to be 1776 feet tall and 195 stories high. This building is to be hardened in such a way as to be virtually terror proof. New technologies are being used. A new and special type of concrete and specialty steel frame are incorporated. 70 high speed elevators are apparently needed to keep each floor properly accessible. An express ride to the top will take one minute. A special design and shape of the upper floors will minimize wind resistance. I often wonder how water is supplied to the upper floors. It surely requires pumps. What happens in case of a power failure ?. Three other buildings are also under construction at this site.

It is said that the buildings will be beautiful. My personal preference would have been a nice park
