Your end of 2022 non-pecuniary (Cash) bonus

 Not foreseen pandemic relief: Online shopping keeps us from big-box store serenades of mega high-pitch screams from children while seemingly deaf, oblivious, millennial parents aimlessly wander the aisles.


Fast food eateries aid agriculture surplus: The reason you're seeing pickles on chicken and fish sandwiches

Does anyone use that 1- prefix for 10 digit phone numbers anymore?  I know I haven't since forever, yet I continue seeing it in print and just a moment ago, in a TV commercial

Football sideline anti-intelligencia:  Supposed college graduated NFL color commentators who unimpress us with words that absolutely have no application, most butchered being, "matriculate."  Hank Stram was the 1st in a previous century.  I heard it again in a recent game.  I'm thinking, while some ladies were bra burning, the football "dudes" were ducking English and composition classes.  YO---matriculating down the sideline makes as much sense as Pavarotti in a grunge band!  While we're at it, I tend to agree with whomever suggested color commentators are paid by the word.

I get why African-Americans crusaded for upper case B in their being referenced as, "Black."  In deference to said reference, I couldn't help but notice teevee ads promoting African-American programs, "Available only on the 'all-black' channel."

Let's call this, "Records are meant to be tied."  Setting and tying all-time Home Runs achieved---all occurred in that particular season's final game!  Kinda sorta akin to David Justice's coming 61 years after Roger Maris hit 61 homers in 1961.  Information as yet inconclusive regarding how many fans in attendance celebrated birthday number 61 that day.  For the uber-curious, high temperature that day was shy, at 55 degrees.  For the uber-uber curious, number 62 was hit in the 10th inning...SO...should there be an asterisk included?  For those who couldn't give a pinto pony's patoot, Mr. Justice served it up on 10-4, the date I officially proclaimed, many fortnights ago as, "National C-B Day," honoring all over-the-road truck drivers.  (Not yet on any calendar.)  Grannie Gert will most likely mention these quips in her daily blog, "When Fact Becomes, 'HUH!'"

Heard in at least 3 "Piggly-Wiggly" grocery store checkout lines: Current Catholic Pope, Francis, in an upcoming encyclical, will suggest world governments permanently add a confessional to their assembly and voting venues.

My California cousin sent an article, stating some local organizations will pick up your Christmas tree, then use it for various green programs, such as, underwater fish dens or wild-life havens.  Just a thought: If your property has animal visitors, you can do as I and place the tree "out back," where they'll become critter snacks.  Be judicious by removing ALL decorations.  Raccoons, bunnies, etc. are able to discern and will toss aside ornaments, but antlered 4-leggers might be too hungry, devouring everything in sight.  Worldwide, veterinarians are seeing an increase of seasonal deer-verticulitis.

May we all see 
More honesty
In '23
