Tuesday 24th March

Weather has been lovely again today, very warm and sunny but tomorrow is forecast storms and tornadoes.   Better put my duvets in the bathroom.

Terry finished my car in the mid afternoon.   I went to Hobby Lobby, then photographed the new pet shop next door.
I used to think people with pets just chucked them a bit of cat or dog food - who knew they needed a superstore for their needs.

 
Having just forked out $1000 for my car repair I thought I could lash out another $4.45 on a strawberry milkshake, and cheer myself up.  It's really, really, lovely.  It has subsided a bit but there was a big mound of whipped cream on top.  I put a few more maraschino cherries on it, and I'm still eating it.
 
 

The main news story during the day was the crashed plane.   What is extraordinary is that it didn't just fall out of the sky;  it took 8 minutes to land and there wasn't quite as much wreckage as there would have been if it had just come down.   And there was nothing, absolutely nothing, from the cockpit.  It will be interesting when they tell us what the black box says.

Heads of State don't usually come on television to express their gratitude for the financial aid they have been given, this is considered a big deal.

And the Presidential Campaign..................

The Governor of Ohio talks a lot about "the poor", whom he intends to help.

Under Donald Trump's Presidency however, there will be no poor.   The country will be so prosperous, he claims, there will be no need for social welfare.     Cynical me thinks he will probably also throw out all the poor who are already here, Mexicans, Latinos, and the 5 million illegal immigrants who have just been given permission to stay, they will all be sent back over the border from whence they came.   And I wouldn't fancy being Chinese either.

He said he is going to make an announcement in June.    But how much more 'announcement' does he need!
