BILL BLOG
Tuesday February 18, 2025
Tuesday morning in Nashville and we are under a winter weather advisory. Maybe 4 inches of snow landing overnight into noon tomorrow. Yikes. Don’t want any of that. Grocery store run later today as the road we live on could be impassable for a couple of days.
A high of 38 in Nashville today…Thursday’s high will only be 18. It’ never good when the weather folk start going on and on about the Polar Vortex.
Glad I’ve got a little run to warmer weather and the beach at the end of this week.
YESTERDAY
I cancelled a writing appointment because I came down with whatever I have. Sore throat being the worst part of it so far. Seems like almost everyone I know has something right now…add me to the list. So, I’m getting LOTS of sleep which is why this morning’s Blog is being posted quite a bit later than usual because I slept in a little later.
SONG OF THE DAY
Today I’m choosing “Houdini” that my Missouri friend Becky Denton recorded. Different. I love the production on this song the two of us wrote. Becky included the song on her last album.
HEALTH NOTES
Research says that if you had a bad dream to take some creatine the next morning.
Research shows that only 11% of recall our dreams. I’d be one of them. They say those who do recall their dreams have a positive attitude about dreams, they let their minds wander, they live in warmer weather and are younger.
Studies are showing that reusable water bottle may be a breeding ground for strep and fecal bacteria.
HERE’S YOUR SIGN
Wonder if they’ll be a Pilsner or a Lite?
MOUNTAIN CLIMBING
I might finally be able to climb a mountain if I do what some Chinese hikers are doing. They rent robotic legs to help them.
I can either do that or do what I’ve always done. Just ride the gondola to the top of the mountain.
SPEAKING OF MOUNTAINS
A publication reveals that the #1 bucket list place to see over the last year from Google searches would be Yosemite National Park. Fairly surprising.
It is beautiful. El Capitan is magnificent.
And the Ahwahnee Hotel inside the park is more than worth a visit.
I would personally choose the Grand Canyon or Yellowstone over Yosemite but you can't go wrong choosing any of these National Parks.
The rest of the Top 5 bucket list places to see include the Great Wall of China, Pompeii, Niagara Falls and Sengretti.
DELTA
Another plane incident yesterday when the Delta flight flipped over in Canada. Amazing that everyone on board was safe. 9 injured…but all safe.
I don’t think Delta will be using “we can land upside down” as a logo anytime soon. It does kind of make one pause before they board a plane right now doesn’t it?
FAKE DOLLARS
Nashville musicians are saying they are seeing an increase in fake money tipping. A lot of musicians in this town work for tips. Out on the streets and even inside the honkytonks the biggest part of their income is tipping. I can’t imagine what goes through someone’s mind to drop counterfeit money into a tip bucket. Just don’t leave anything and go on. Geez.
If I were those musicians I might try “fake singing”.
HEADLINE OF THE DAY
Students Claim High School Teacher Identifies As A Cat, Sparking Major Debates. (Yep…I could see some discussion and arguments there. Especially with any student who identifies as a dog.)
TODAY
More rest today…and I have an online writing appointment with my friends Darin and Brooke Aldridge this evening if I’m up to it. The great thing about writing online is you can’t infect anyone with whatever it is you have. So, I’ve got that going for me.
Have a great Tuesday!
