It is Wednesday, 8 March 2023. The first story that pops up on the news is a sad one… four people in Mexico for a cosmetic surgery procedure were kidnapped by a drug cartel, and two were killed when they realized they had the wrong folks… a case of mistaken identity.
I think I’ll be avoiding cosmetic surgery in Mexico for the foreseeable future.
Or just about anything in Mexico.
I’ve got a couple of modules to cover today in class, focusing on cloud storage and application services. After I get that wrapped up, it’s off to downtown Kansas City for a show. I haven’t been to a show in years at this point, so this will be an experience. One of my favorite guitar players, Eric Johnson, is playing at the Midland Theater tonight. In the past, I’ve often gone to these shows with another friend, but he can’t go tonight. I’ve left a text for my oldest daughter to see if she’s interested, but if she can’t go (that’s the likely reality), I might be fishing around for a friend interested in going.
The news has moved on to another story about a conservative news pundit that is trying to get away with a little gaslighting regarding the January 6 insurrection. There is an ongoing lawsuit by Dominion Voting against Fox News, and some of the released depositions are rather alarming. I’d guess at this point Rupert Murdock and Fox News will be scrambling for a settlement, because the facts lead to one conclusion: Fox messed up. This is a one-point-something billion-dollar lawsuit, and the news channel doesn’t want this to go before a jury… they would lose bigtime.
OK, time for me to start settling in for the day.
I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.
Peace y’all.
