The Packers' quarterback, Brett Hundley #7, is chewing gum as he plays, something that I don't believe is possible when wearing a mouthguard. (It does not appear at all that he is wearing a mouthguard.) I thought that by the rules, they are required safety gear just as much as a helmet is?

The song lyric, for the vast majority of recordings I've heard, has been changed.The build-up to the line is "Through the years we all will be together, if the Fates allow" - -
original line follows "Until then we'll have to muddle through somehow"The changed line is now so very often - - "Hang a shining star upon the highest bough"The original line adds a wondrous melancholy to the season -- the changed line is a silly ornament. less

First the wind tried very hard to blow it off. Colder and colder and stronger and stronger became the wind and tighter and tighter the man held his coat closed. Nothing the wind did mattered. It gave up. It was the sun's turn. All it did was just come out quietly. The man removed his coat. Lesson of course is that you don't have to be a cold persistent blowhard to get people's attention. A sunny smile, a kind hello and you're good to go. less

To top it off a Consumer's Advocate Agency is or has been destroyed. Why give us a break? Why infringe on the right of the obscenely wealthy movers and shakers to squeeze an extra dime, an extra pound of flesh, an extra drop of blood? Why indeed?
