Was prowling (“surfing” is so passé these days) around the internet just now and came across a few things that gave me pause. #1 There was this article on one news service site that was about “34 Incredibly Beautiful Reasons to Visit Iran.” I’m not kidding. There were indeed some beautiful pictures accompanying the article. And, no doubt, there are probably many more that they did not include. BUT . . . .again, BUT . . . we’re talking about going to Iran! Any American who travels to Iran is asking for trouble. You’d be safer walking into a men’s prison wearing lipstick. Like telling your stockbroker, “Okay, do whatever you think best.”  #2 A TacoBell in Las Vegas is offering a $600 “Wedding Package”. Included are a private chapel, ordained official, room for 15 guests and a Taco 12Pack for everyone. Instead of a wedding cake you’ll get a Cinnamon Delights Cake! The line is forming as we speak. Not to be out done – on Valentine’s Day – Burger King offered a “Valentine Adult Meal” (which includes 2 whoppers / 2 French fries / 2 beers / and a “romantic adult toy”!!!) Another chain – The Waffle House – offered heart shaped waffles, candle lit tables, violin music and Sprite in champagne flutes. Hell, White Castle has been offering special deals in their places for years. LADIES!!!  —  If Mr Right takes you one of these places as his idea of a special night out . . . . RUN. Run FAST. And change your phone number. #3 (This is NOT about politics) I saw a story about some men from Somalia who were illegally living in Minnesota. Fearing expulsion back to Somalia under President Trump’s Executive Order concerning aliens, they braved freezing weather, deep snow, and border prohibitions to travel over hills and dale, cross-country ( and got lost twice) to sneak into Canada. Minnesota may be cold . . . but Manitoba is colder. Boys . . . think ya gonna need a bigger COAT.

But HEY! I may be wrong.
