Info

[Dr. Scarpetta]

Michael Connelly’s new book will be downloaded to my Kindle tomorrow. Finally!

Cold here...Going down to the 20’s tonight...

[Vision]

They think we're ignorant.

[Vision]

Yea, it was freezing here today. Tried to have a cigar outside and only lasted through a little bit of it...38f at 4pm. Worst time of the year weather wise...cold and dark. Luckily the holidays are around this time.

Nice on the book. Don't forget The Secret Race. I'll be listening to the Kindle on my flight tomorrow to LA.

[Vision]

Oh God it’s Crabs for Christmas...

[WXRGina]

Balll-tee-more!

[Dr. Scarpetta]

Not possible to listen to the Paper White...They took that feature away.

[Vision]

That's what it's like up here Hon.

[Vision]

They screwed up with that.

[Dr. Scarpetta]

Because of Obamacare coming,I scheduled surgery on one shoulder in Jan. Eventually there’s going to be rationing, but liberals are too dumb to understand that.

[WXRGina]

Bless your heart (shoulder), Doc! It’s good that you’re doing it soon, for sure. You’re right about the idiot liberals.

[Vision]

I'm so tired of insanity ruling the American day.

[Dr. Scarpetta]

It really is insanity. The worst part is trying to stay out of arguments with people that should know better.

[WXRGina]

I'm so tired of insanity ruling the American day.

At least we have the Bible to warn us that evil insanity will indeed rule in the last days. Forewarned is forearmed, even though it does not take away the pain of watching unnecessary idiocy.

[Vision]

Bing Ping!

[WXRGina]

Ain’t nothing like the smoothness of Bing.

Did you know about how he got his nickname “Der Bingle” because he read U.S. propaganda for the Germans during the War?

[Vision]

Didn’t know that.

And it was more than the amazing voice, he exuded Americanism.

[WXRGina]

From the quasi-reliable Wikipedia:

“Crosby made numerous live appearances before American troops fighting in the European Theater. He also learned how to pronounce German from written scripts, and would read propaganda broadcasts intended for the German forces. The nickname “Der Bingle” for him was understood to have become current among Crosby’s German listeners, and came to be used by his English-speaking fans. In a poll of U.S. troops at the close of World War II, Crosby topped the list as the person who had done the most for G.I. morale, ahead of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, General Dwight Eisenhower, and Bob Hope.”

I love First Noel...

[Vision]

And he was a Republican.

Goodnight everyone, I've got an early flight tomorrow. Hope to see you next week.
