   It is very different today. Up until the last fifty years or so, most towns had multiple newspapers and radio stations all owned by different folks (legally, you couldn’t own more than one news outlet in any market), so there were lots of competing local voices. Now, it’s possible for all news outlets in a market to be owned by one entity. This makes a difference.

   I feel financially fine. Not rich by any stretch of the imagination, but I’m fine. Don’t feel insecure.

   It’s always a crapshoot when you give money (I quit giving food itself, though in my past job I gave out chits from a local restaurant for a meal). Nevertheless, I still give out money to the folks on the street. I figure, if their delusions lead them to buy lottery tickets, so be it. Nobody starts out life aspiring to be on the streets begging. It may be addiction or physical healthy issues or mental health. Or just bad luck. I can’t know their story. I also don’t have the time or resources to take each one to a meal. What I do (it ain’t much, but it’s something) is keep a little container of $5.00 bills in my car. I give anyone who’s begging a five and a “Hang in there.” What they do with it is their business. Once I give it, I no longer have any say over its use. Will some abuse it? Sure. But some are just grateful for a meal.

   Give Laufey a listen on YouTube. For such a young person, she has a rich sound.

   Is this cartoon ending? That would be noticeable…and sad.

   I love Fall. But then again, I love all the seasons.

   Mac-n-Cheese is a popular restaurant item, and when made well is such a good comfort food. I make it often, especially in the winter, often with broccoli blended in. May not be for everyone, but for me it can hit the spot.

   If I were Poncho, I’d send an anonymous piece of mail to all the other dogs.

    Well, I admit I don’t use the most expensive gasolines. Premium averages about $4.50 here. Always thought Premium was a ripoff. I would never buy a car that required it either. Mine uses regular and after 5 years still gets 56 mpg on average.
