See I Told You So . . .

Well, no new Gate call today, so to guarantee one for tomorrow we’ve scheduled a day trip into San Antonio once again.



So if I don’t hear from Todd tomorrow morning, we’ll head out about 11am with a first stop at the Wal-Mart/Sam’s Club in the City Base area. Then it’s on to see Passengers at the Alamo Quarry theater. Then to top off the night we’ll meet up with Jim and Peri Dean at our other favorite San Antonio eatery, La Fonda on Main.

Of course scheduling this much fun is almost sure to attract a new gate job. So we’ll have to see how it goes.

Next up, I want to thank everyone for their kind words of encouragement on my blog topics. It’s always helps to know that there’s somebody out there on the other end of the Internet who appreciates my efforts. Thanks again.

As I mentioned I’m working on a couple of other articles, one on Global Warming, and another on the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact(NPVIC).



This is an agreement between states that they will give their Electoral Votes to whoever wins the Popular Vote. So far 10 states plus D.C. have signed up. The compact will only become active when enough states with enough Electoral Votes join to guarantee the result.

There are various ideas on the legality of the whole thing due to the fact that Article I, Section 10 of the US Constitution states that: “No State shall, without the Consent of Congress . . . enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power.”

And actually the last time a group of States made a compact, it led to what we call in the south, ‘The War of Northern Aggression’. You Yankees call it the Civil War.

So there is that. 

See I Told You So. Regular readers know about my (and Jan too, to a lesser degree) love of hot stuff. Hot wings, hot Mexican food, BBQ, pretty much anything. And I’ve seen articles in the past about the possible health benefits. And now here’s another one.

Chilies could help beat cancer as research finds capsaicin destroys diseased cells

Though in this one, they think you won’t get the full benefit from eating the capsaicin, but that it must be part of a drug treatment. But other articles say different.



Of course it may just be Big Pharma trying to keep me away from the hot wings so they can sell me something expensive.


Thought for the Day:

Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder.
