Kenny's Flippin Burgers: Bring a sense of humor and an appetite
(Community ~ 11/10/22)
We can take for granted a person or an item that we interact with daily, but if you change the backdrop, suddenly they become new again. On vacation, you may notice the way the tropical sunset hits your loved one's face and remember how beautiful you find them. Or maybe when you are hiking and you find a lovely scenic spot to eat and pull out your favorite sandwich, and it tastes better because of all of the fresh air and the view. The backdrop matters...

Salute to veterans — Military service helps veteran find her passion
(Local News ~ 11/10/22)
When asked why she chose the U.S. Air Force, Halen James said, "My dad was in the Air Force." Then she joked, "Also, I'm very lazy." Of course, this can't be true. No one who goes through boot camp, four years as a medic, four years of undergrad college work plus three more years for a master's degree in speech pathology could ever be thought of as lazy. Perhaps, James just prefers to avoid discomfort...

Sponsored: Time is your most valuable asset; enjoy it without pain

What is your most valuable asset? You may think it’s a savings account, investment or property, but the truth is your most valuable asset is time. Time is the only thing you cannot get back once it's gone. Imagine if you woke up today, and I gave you $5 million. Would you be excited? I am sure you would be! What if I said by taking the $5 million you won’t wake up tomorrow. Would you still be excited? I wouldn’t think so. You probably would give me a simple, “No, thanks.”...

There's a whole subculture of lamentation about modern society that can be fairly well summed up in Peter Thiel's roughly decade-old gripe that things like Twitter were distracting us from greatness: "We wanted flying cars, instead we got 140 characters."...

Remember President Joe Biden's Disinformation Governance Board? It was so ridiculed that the administration quickly scaled it back and then shut it down. But beware, Biden is resorting to more secretive methods -- a vast censorship operation in collusion with Silicon Valley -- to tighten the screws on what Americans can say.
