What the #%&@ is wrong with us?

I would hope our presidents would all shake hands with world leaders. It’s just what civilized people do.  Raul Castro Castro is a world leader, of sorts.  Why wear political differences on one’s shoulder?  Snubbing someone is no way to establish communication.
John McCain seems to forget about Muammar Gaddafi. Didn’t we bomb him? Didn’t he kill Americans? Thought so. Convenient amnesia.

Then there is the matter of the selfie with a couple of heads of state. Who cares. Seriously…who really cares. This is the age of technology. I am glad to see a president who doesn’t feel he is too good to take a selfie with other world leaders. How very unstaged. The argument that it was a funeral? Not really. It was a memorial service to celebrate the life of Nelson Mandela. There was lots of dancing, clapping and celebration of life.

The haters just all need to change the channel.

Open Thread………………………………..Wednesday, December 11

glass twigsIs it cold enough for you yet?  It is still fall.  Winter is a week or so away.

Cargo gave us the temperature at Antarctica: minus 138 degrees.  Now THAT is cold!

Tomorrow is supposed to be really frigid and very windy.

Is there a secret to combatting this weather?  Wasn’t it just the other week that we were all out in shirt sleeves, enjoying the last warmth of the year?

If this is December, what on earth is in store for us in January and February?
