You Can Thank Sandy
You can thank Sandy
"You can thank Sandy" A friend got a marketing E-mail for some webinar saying that due to an overwhelming demand from people affected by Hurricane Sandy the discount registration period was being extended. The E-mail opened with large, bold type "You can thank Sandy." Shortly thereafter, he received another E-mail from that company apologizing for the insensitive tone of the first E-mail. E-mail #2 also added that appropriate steps were taken to make sure this would never happen again. I have to say that I didn't find the Sandy reference insensitive and I certainly hope that appropriate steps doesn't mean that someone lost a job. How do other people feel about this? Given that the current Noreaster is being referred to as Son of Sandy is anyone really offended?

While running the other night I met a woman with long dread locks that I've seen working out and at races throughout the year. She keeps them pulled back with a bandanna. She also seems to run to the beat of her own drummer, which is cool. She had been kicking my ass, but on this occasion, I caught and passed her. I figured she must have raced or run long the day before and was just doing a recovery run. Having lived in the Caribbean for 2 and 1/2 years, I was into the dreads. When I passed her I wanted to say, "Hey, Natty Dread" but you never know how folks will react.
Anyway, we met when she caught up to where I was cooling down. I told her about liking the locks and nearly calling her Natty Dread. As she ran off in her tie-dyed Bob Marley T-shirt she said, "If you forget my name, Natty Dread will do."
You've got to like that attitude.

The attempted coup.
Something to keep in mind. In 2000 Al Gore won 266 electoral votes, the highest ever for a losing presidential candidate. He lost Florida by 537 votes out of 6 million cast. Al Gore presided over the Electoral College certifying Bush Jr’s win with decorum and class. Trump is a treasonous crybaby. A fraud, a criminal and a conman. He doesn’t care about our country. He doesn’t love this country. He undermines our great democracy. He only cares about himself. TRE45SON. Trump destroyed the Republican Party. Someone should have taught him Reagan’s 11th Commandment. “Thou shall not speak ill of any fellow Republican”

Super Bowl Advertising
I am surprised that we didn't see the following announcement during the blackout during Sunday's Super Bowl.
"This power outage is brought you by Buffalo Wild Wings."
Much of the time and investigator grinds out the day-to-day work involved in personal injury cases and the like. Sometimes a really interesting and high-profile case comes in and you just feel the adrenaline start pumping.
That happened yesterday, when I was contacted by Mark Reichel and Steve...
