Squeaker Hall of Fame
Monday Stuff On the Way to Other Stuff: Maintaining (Sort Of)
Another week in the hopper. Work for both of us -- plus a quick trip to Castle Rock to see friends.
Nothing exciting... but some reports are done, and the garage door is working. (But the truck is not.) Life goes on. And another storm, plus wind, is on its way.
Meanwhile:
We're all wrong -- Oprah didn't get a million-dollar fee to host Kamala Harris's singalong. Nope --her production company didn't, either. They got nearly $2.5 million, instead.
"I admit I was wrong:" Allan Lichtman's stunning admission on why he missed predicting Trump would win. (I'm being sarcastic here, Gentle Readers Know why he was wrong? "Fox News and conservative media." Oh, and X, too..)
Was King Tut's gold mask (and maybe his tomb) actually meant for someone else??
Cooking on a Budget/Extreme Cheapskates:
...and celebrating Christmas, Extreme Cheapskate style:
Colorado's Buffaloes are doing an amazing job -- at 49-24, they beat the pop out of Utah, whose defense is considered the best in the country. (Well, not anymore.) So in celebration, a look at their mascot, Ralphie.
Go, Buffs!
And have a great week.

Now I've Heard of Everything...
Walmart.com is selling 'saint candles' of Donald Trump.
I am not making this up.
Along with St. Christopher, Jude and other saint candles...you'll find everything from Saint Obama to Beyonce. Saint Kamala Harris isn't slighted, either. You'll need to be extra-dedicated for these personages, though: they're $24.95 or more each, versus the usual $1.57 for everyday saints.
