Pulliam, former owner of a major mid-western publishing empire?And although I am loath to make such a connection, I will say his connection is by marriage and that there is a long line of begats between my side of the Pulliams and Eugene's.Interesting, and I had not made the connection. In fact, I rarely think of Quayle.I have two reasons to remember him at all:He defeated incumbent Democrat Birch Bayh for a U.S. Senate seat in 1980.He added an "e" to "potato" on a schoolroom chalk board that basically labelled him as a "doofus" VP.

It’s 42 here today. 27 schools in San Antonio couldn’t open today because of frozen pipes or power outage.
Wednesday afternoon greetings! It is, indeed, our 43rd wedding anniversary and we gave each other negative Covid test results as tokens of our love.
Wait...how do pipes freeze when it's only 42°??
Also, some wag on the Internet wrote:Why does this country insist on caucusing in Iowa, where a conman who couldn't read music famously convinced an entire town to purchase instruments for his non-existent boy band just by talking fast and citing an absurd number of trombones?
Well, I've educated myself a little bit about Joyce Kilmer, and given that he died in 1918, I don't believe that he is the father of Val.
But I may be wrong.

I had to put the boys in the bedroom and they are behaving well. I would like to get cleaned up and ready to go to rehearsal soon, feed the boys etc... the guy is taking his time. Good luck getting to rehearsal on time, and that your fixed thermostat works correctly.We found the issue, things are looking up and there is still plenty of time to get to rehearsal! Will be nice to able to have a little heat when needed as I don't normailly keep it on at all.

I took this photo from Facebook so I'm not sure everyone can see it. "Icy sunset on the Oregon coast."
