Their principal told me this story. \u00a0During the pledge of allegiance, a classmate wouldn&#8217;t stand and salute. \u00a0One of them said, &#8220;You better salute or you might go to hell.&#8221; \u00a0The other one, said &#8220;You&#8217;d get your ass whipped at my house for not saluting the U.S. flag.&#8221; \u00a0Needless to say that I like these kids.<\/p>\n<p>No, I don&#8217;t know where the goat market is headed but I do think that we will see some of these bullshit online sales exposed. \u00a0I also think that\u2026.well, that will go in a later post.<\/p>\n<p>As for my social distancing, (I have been preparing for this my whole life). \u00a0I did watch a video of Steve Martin playing a banjo and I watched a video of Neil Diamond playing a parody of &#8220;Sweet Caroline&#8221;, something about washing hands. \u00a0And how about the Gambler passing away. \u00a0I have always been a fan of Kenny Rogers. \u00a0In this current marketplace, we will see some fold em, some that know when to walk away and some of us that just push all in.<\/p>\n<p>On an evening of Tammy and I learning how to coexist with no kids at home. \u00a0She cooked a mini herf roast with taters and carrots. \u00a0DAMN GOOD! \u00a0 We watched the Tom Hanks movie (he has the corona) \u00a0A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood. \u00a0I wasn&#8217;t expecting that movie to be so dark. \u00a0But, dang , that is a good flick. \u00a0Is he the best actor ever?<\/p>\n<p>I guess that I have the next 2 weeks off from teaching. \u00a0Okay! \u00a0You can find me at the ag building or looking at stock for next year.<\/p>\n<p>Prayers, horseshoes &amp; shamrocks!! \u00a0 Oh,\u2026 and cheers!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I haven&#8217;t had a Corona in years.
