This past weekend they were all up in arms about a snowstorm that never happened in New York City. They said we should expect 2"-3" of snow. The end result was that there was none. Not even a dusting.
So now they are praying that the storm that supposed to come would hit New York City because that would indemnify them.
I received through e-mail some photographs from friends showing the amount of snow on their properties. Some pictures came from Pennsylvania while others came from Maryland.
The amount of snow is staggering. Looking at the pictures I am glad we live in an apartment building.

They interviewed a guy on TV this morning who just "graduated" from a sex addiction treatment center. This seems to be a very popular thing now.
He was asked about his marriage and he said, himself and his wife are both working on this problem.
Apparently as part of the treatment the wives are requested to attend certain sessions of the program alongside their husbands.
The guy who was interviewed was a known TV personality.
The way I see it whenever somebody gets caught cheating he claims sex addiction. He argues that this is an illness that he can not control.
This way he counts on the wife feeling sorry for him and if she decides to leave him she would turn out to be the bad one.
I have absolutely no faith in these treatments. If a man cheats and gets away with it, no matter what he promises he will cheat again. His credibility is nil.
But society will forgive. When that other person goes back to play golf and play it well all his transgressions will be forgotten and he will be the public's darling again.

I was checking out airline ticket prices for our annual Caribbean vacation. I checked the airline, checked all the known travel services and discounters.
I can not understand their promises and advertising. When I compared prices the airline came in best no matter how I looked at it.
Buying from a discounter has its drawbacks.
A few years ago we went to the Caribbean. We bought the tickets from a discounter and it happened to be a good price.
However I had an accident and we were forced to fly home one week earlier than planned. The firs thing the airline said that we had a discount ticket and we had to pay the difference between that price and full price. They also charged us $100 each for changing our travel arrangements.
OK, at the end between our travel insurance and the airline's good will we didn't lose anything but we had to fight hard for it.
Ever since that experience we buy direct from the airline. Usually the Internet prices are not that bad and also more reliable than the discounters.
Our vacation is in August but arrangements have to be made far in advance otherwise we lose our space. It's stupid but that's the rule.
I bought the plane tickets two weeks ago and three days later the price went up $30. That's free enterprise.

Everybody is trying to screw each other. The market, the stores, prices are getting higher for less goods.It is a shame that the "greatest country" in the world is about to go down the toilet. Our fearless leader really should step up to the plate, and excercise his power.All the empty promises just are that.
