AlGore thinks that he’s perspicacious
Seeing things that only AlGore can see
His remedies won’t really be efficacious
Restricted lifestyles with less energy
Of course, his own life will still be bodacious
Lear Jets and mansions are his true legacy

It is gently snowing right now. We got a healthy covering overnight. Nothing stuck to roads or sidewalks, but I did have to scrape some wet sitcky stuff off the cars.
Oh Joe, yucko....it’s too early in the AM & I haven’t had all my coffee...:^
The WFTD class has a different teacher each day. We love to add perspicacious new students.
-all little girls adore their “grammy”..........jellybean is indeed a perscipacity.

Grandpa watches her on Thursday night, so Grammy & her mommy/daddy can rehearse the Christmas Cantata at church.
They eat ice cream and color :)
A+ I love the way the LATimes takes it upon itself to tutor the POPE in how to run his church! LOL......like the latimes has a clue.
NO SNOW north of you! LOL.....none at all, it rained all night.
I used to enjoy teasing (OK, mocking) our Protestant posters about "the perspicacity of Scripture" whenever they disagreed among themselves.
