A belated thank you to all veterans. It seems more and more people are beginning to acknowledge their contribution.
Grandson Dominic, a senior high school football player, received several awards at the “year end” banquet. As my mother would say, these are the best days of Dominic’s life. Her meaning was that responsibility only increases from now on!
Those with Trisadectaphobia (a fear of the number 13) beware. Today is Friday the 13th. Women in black robes fly around on their broomstick and inflict curses. Boogedy, Boogedy.
Next week marks the 30th year your Mom and I have lived in Appleton. It is the longest we have lived in one place.
The Kohler Company has played a major employer role in Sheboygan County for well over 100 years. In my lifetime, 1953 represented an example of labor strife that got nasty. My family witnessed a strike first hand. The UAW went on strike and two workers were shot to death. The existing labor contract expires this Friday. The threat of a strike looms. Who knows the outcome? For sure, nobody wins as the result of a strike! Hey, it is Friday the 13th.
I can’t resist commenting on birth control. There is a drug company that admitted in 2012 to selling 30 day birth control “cards” with the “placebo” pills placed in the improper sequence. They issued a recall immediately in 2012. There are 112 lawsuits alleging the drug company was responsible for their unwanted pregnancies. Official audited records show that only 1 birth control “card” ever got to the public. Amazing. Is this a great country or what?
The Packers get a chance to stop the downward slide on Sunday. They better figure out a way to keep Aaron Rogers “upright” or things are going to get nasty.
Love,
Dad
