    I rarely watch TV news. I generally read news on the Internet.

    Please don't cringe too much but I used to rely on Rosie G. to share with me what was going on.
    I love her through and through and even though I am grateful she doesn't make her opinion so overbearing ALL the time, I miss her as a person.
    If you see her, please send my love and let her know, the fire on Box Canyon recently, I literally felt.  All of the areas she knows, are safe. 
    It was very, very, very, very, close.  But, up near crab rock.  She'll know which rock I am talking about.
    Thanks Stu!

    You can go to her corner and tell her yourself.

    I could meet her at "The Market."  But, I wouldn't know her if I were to pass her buying a pint of Haagen Daaz ice cream or a 12 pack of Natural Ice.
    The beauty of this is...
    I may have already and not even known it.
    She may have known and maybe I didn't.
    Merlin takes on many faces but ...
    I'm pretty sure Rosie G. would "feel" me.
    I can only hope Rosie would say something. 
    ;) :)

    I hardly ever watch the national news on TV, but I watch the local news.  I get most of my news from the internet, and I try to get a lot of it from foreign sources, because sorry USA news people, I hate to be the one to have to tell you this, but the world doesn't revolve around Donald Trump.

      I’ve quit watching both the local news and the national news. They’re as predictable as cartoons and twice as childish.

    At least in cartoons, we can see the "poof" and the coyote still lives.
    Here, they DO die.
    You are excellent, Randy D.
    Please understand, you are amazing.

    I stopped watching television several years ago. I get most of the news from very specific radio broadcasts and from the internet. I'm not swayed by either source because I thoroughly research everything that I see and hear.

    Me too!  The saddest of all true "sads" is living in L.A., I have more victims and more flooseys who believe.

    We are told Only what "they" want us to hear.

    I am with you every step of logic along the way.

    Thank you rusureamisure?

    I appreciate your response... but I MUST ask...
    Do you like being in the freezer as fish sticks? Maybe it's better than being bait for leopard seals but... still, 
    in you bubble, do we look like a big eyeball staring in?  It MUST be scary!
    I'm considering all what I know about you and please don't take offense.
    You look like a very distinguished character that I might like to get to know better!!
    Big Winks and Smiles!
