Newses


In happy news, Neeley, my very first little girl that I’ve borrowed over the years, got married yesterday. I know! Hard to believe she’s old enough but she is and she did. She was beautiful! Wait. She’s always beautiful but yesterday she was extra special beautiful. Please join me in sending a gazillion happy wishes!

In disturbing news, I heard a report on the radio. It’s feared pilots are so used to flying on auto-pilot that they lost their ability to actually handle a plane. It is also suspected that planes are now so high-tech that in an emergency, say if the auto-pilot fails or the plane stalls, even a decent pilot will be lacking the training and will not know what to do. Well now. Doesn’t that just fill you with the warms and fuzzies?

In shake-your-head news, the local power company announced today that they have arranged with one of the grocery store chains to provide drinking water and ice to those still without power in our area. Okay, that’s nice. There are a dozen stores participating. Great, no one has to drive too far. The list of stores is available on the Berks Emergency Management website. Hmm. Anyone else see the potential problem here?
