Valentine's Day

And I for one am glad it is nearly over.  I'm teed off with all the tv adverts for pyjama-grams; chocolate dipped strawberries, and four foot teddy bears which "she will love and is SURE to pay off for you, WINK, WINK".

 

And as you can see, tulips are the new roses....

 

 

 

Am I missing something here?   When did Prince William become next in line of succession?   Has Prince Charles died and no one told me?

 

This is the latest restaurant which opened in town yesterday.  It's specialty is a chicken sandwich, but who among us can't make a chicken sandwich.  I just stopped to photograph this on my way to the Mall this afternoon.  I might try it tomorrow, but I'm not over excited.  I don't know how many people were inside, there were a lot of vehicles queuing up for the drive-through.

 

I never did find Thursday's post which disappeared somewhere into cyberspace, but I mentioned the trial which has begun of the killer of Chris Kyle, the American Sniper, and his best friend Chad Littlejohn.  Chris Kyle's widow testified first, she was very upset and has every right to be, poor dear.  But apparently all the women on the jury were weeping as well, and I think they should brace up.  

 

It has emerged that Chris Kyle and his friend were texting each other in the front of the car, on the way to the gun range, and they were uneasy even then.   The killer was in the back seat,

'Six' is military slang for 'back'.

 

In today's hearing the killer said he shot them because they weren't talking to him.   The defence counsel is pleading insanity.   The killer will either go to prison with no possibility of parole ever, or he will be committed to a mental hospital, and in due course could be released.  If my understanding is right, they have the death penalty in that state, but it can't be applied in cases of insanity.

 

I think I should start a new segment called "The Presidential Campaign".   Scott Walker, the Governor of Wisconsin is this week's favourite candidate, edging out Jeb Bush, who was last week's.

But SHOCK, HORROR, Scott Walker didn't graduate High School!!!   If that is the worst they can drag up about him he's not doing too bad.

 

And all these other losers didn't graduate either.

 

Holding my breath while I hit 'publish' that this post is going to make it........
