We wrote it last January

Because  of not feeling on top of the world, physically and emotionally, I decided to skip posting today, but I first looked back at what had stirred me a year ago.  Detroit school system announced plans to close half its schools and increase class size to pay big bonuses to unions.  Utah proposed a 40lK-type plan for public employees.  That is the answer for public as well as private workers.

I recalled a trip to Baton Rouge and back in an old Piper Cub.  Navigation consisted of following the Red River to its connection with the Mississippi and on to Baton Rouge so I could  testify before the board of Commerce and Industry on behalf of my client, Broyhill Furniture.

On the sports scene a national scouting  organization listed 62 former LSU players who got at least a cup of coffee in the major leagues.

The number 62 in years was how long a couple was married and who was celebrating at Olive Garden when they learned someone had paid for their meal.  They discovered that their benefactor was a l5-year-old girl, who had used her own money for this kindness.  There is hope for the younger generation yet.
