Where Vernon J BREAKS his news
You can ask anything you want, just know that there can be a negative & positive response.
Good Morning & Happy Thursday,
The trick is to ask the question in a respectful manner & with confidence.
Today is Thursday 03/13/V3.4 & it is National Coconut Torte Day.
Will Vernon J get summer Coconut Torte?
The word of the day is thingamajig which is a gadget or other thing for which the speaker does not know or has forgotten the name.
I dint have anything to talk about today.
See you later.
Why do our bodies wear out? Why can’t we just go on and on and on, accumulating a potentially infinite number of Frequent Flyer mileage points? These are the kinds of questions that philosophers have been asking ever since they realized that being a philosopher did not involve any heavy lifting. And yet the answer is really very simple. Our bodies are mechanical devices, they break down. Some devices, such as battery-operated toys costing $39.95, break down almost instantly upon exposure to the Earth’s atmosphere. Other devices, such as stereo systems owned by your next-door neighbor’s 13-year-old son who likes to listen to bands with names like “Nerve Damage,” at a volume capable of disintegrating limestone, will continue to function perfectly for many years, even if you hit them with an ax. But the fundamental law of physics is that sooner or later every mechanism ceases to function for one reason or another, and it is never covered under the warranty.

Climate Change Not a Top Worry in U.S.
Good Morning & Happy Wednesday.
People are worried about the economy & the effect of Government. That’s important to know when it is time tiki focus stuff at lunch.
Yeah, just working right hours today.I have my 2nd job off.
The debate was good yesterday, I’m still not officially announcing who I’ll be voting for in the Senate race. There is still time to bring voters in. Visit the candidates website, call their offices, go to the debate in Lincoln. Be informed & make a decision.
The word of the day is claptrap which is pretentious but insincere or empty language.
So what am I going to do tonight. I don’t know.
If all responsibility is imposed on you, then you may want to exploit the moment and want to be overwhelmed by the responsibility; yet if you try, you will notice that nothing was imposed on you, but that you are yourself this responsibility.

Just read & shared the news that UNO basketball is hosting & going to the CIT.
Good Morning & Happy Tuesday.
That is an amazing opportunity for UNO, the fans, the staff, the students & the community. Great Job Mavs.
Today is Tuesday 03/11/V3.4 & it is Brad’s Birthday. Happy Birthday Brad.
Tonight is the 2nd US Senate debate at the UNO Alumni Center. I’m on the 3/5ths fence. There is a 3 out of 5 chance i will it won’t go.
If I go I won’t get home until after 8 or 9.
I don’t have to work my other jib this week, so going home after work is really a treat this week. I do enjoy my treats. Unlike these hard cookies from unnamed grocery.
I may not have named the store, but I know you can read. 
Yesterday went well, work was good. Someone noticed my haircut, or they read my blog & trying to be smooth. I’ll go with the noticed it. A. Cause she said it looked shorter.
Got home opened the windows & patio door.
It was cleaning day as well. I got caught up on some recorded TV. 
The word of the day is frevent which is having or showing great warmth or intensity of spirit, feeling, enthusiasm, etc.
I posted about chances earlier, there is a chance to improve life that I haven’t taken.
I need to take that chance
A Chance
Every choice you make
Right or wrong
Good or Bad
Yes or no
You take it
What is it you ask
A chance my friend
You can take it
You can give it
But its not certain to come your way
A chance to make things right
A chance to make things wrong
A chance can give it all
A chance can take it all
Remember
They are not given because you want them
They are given because you need them
They are not taken because you need them
They are taken because you want them
Never second guess or take for granite
A chance that comes your way

To be a king and wear a crown is more glorious to them that see it than it is pleasure to them that bear it.

It was 10 – degrees when I woke up this morning.
Good Morning & Happy Monday.
I wore a jacket this morning, no mittens, no head covering.
Today is Monday 03/10/V3.4 & I feel again. One Republic is just singing that to me right now.
I had a nice, relaxing Sunday & Saturday.
I did the haircut thing on Sunday.
I cut it myself on the balcony. Y’all know how I feel about waiting at the salon. I DON’T.
The word of the day is geomancy which is geographic features or by figures or lines.
On Saturday I went & saw 300: Rise of an Empire. This movie was great, I don’t know what it was rated & don’t care. It ran concurrent with the time frame of 300. They mentioned that King L was marching, they hasn’t died yet. They did eventually.
This was based on the navy portion of the Greeks & Persians. The last commander was born Greek, Persian by choice. Same old war tale, family killed, taken & used as a salve. Rescued by the messenger who got himself kicked in the pit.
King L’s wife/widow is the face/voice of the city-state Sparta. They do partake in the final sea battle, but it is pretty much over at that point.
They also discuss how Zerkes come to power & the ‘god-king’ he is. Hint it is a womyn’s plot.
Well tomorrow is the United States Republican Senate Debate. Visit the NEGOP‘s site for more detail.
Speaking of ratings, we are at the point we should get rid of the MPAA. It is time for parents to tell their own kids if they should see a movie.
I watched Action 3 News from 0530 until I left home. They mentioned in type CU & UNL basketball conference playoffs. Deanne mentioned the UNL winning the championship. No mention of UNO hockey conference playoffs.
Well I will, they play Thursday, Friday at 1907, & Saturday at 1937 if necessary. UNO students get tickets for $5, those folks get them more expensive. Visit OMavs.com for more details & to purchase tickets.
Have a great day.
There is 90 Days until Vernon J’s Birthday!
You must treat the days respectfully, you must be a day yourself, and not interrogate it like a college professor.
