I could have done a better job with that headline. Juss' sayin'...

 
I'da made it a master-class lesson in alliteration - 'Palm Beach party poopers plan protest' - but I'm not waiting around for my Nobel Prize on this one. Anyway, as the Times reported, Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence has become the White House of the South of sorts, but those who live in Palm Beach want to shut down the resort’s frequent, large parties because of road closures that cut the town into two.
The Palm Beach Town Council will consider a proposal Tuesday to “limit the number of events at Mar-a-Lago.” It is battling the Secret Service over shutting down the main road around the resort after the July 13 assassination attempt that nearly killed Mr. Trump. Mar-a-Lago’s guests don’t necessarily contribute to the traffic congestion because they are pre-screened and bused into the 17-acre Mar-a-Lago estate from West Palm Beach.

It's true. I haven't owned what you would consider a 
winter coat in ten years. The way I figure it, if it's that friggin' cold, there's no reason to go out. Unless, of course, you run out of beer, then, well - that's your fault, not the weather gods.

The holiday traditional Hess toy truck turns 60 this year.

The first Hess Toy Truck was introduced in 1964. Ever since, the annual 
release of a new toy truck is a highly anticipated event and a treasured holiday tradition for millions of families. 
My oldest brother Bob has every single one of them in it's original packaging. He estimates that entire set would sell - as a collection - for about $ 65 - 70,000.00. Suffice to say he has them all in a very safe storage facility.

Colorado Democrats are celebrating a new law that will go into effect on January 1 that will extend free Medicaid coverage to illegal migrants who are pregnant as well as migrant children. 
Dubbed “Cover All Coloradans,” the program opens up state Medicaid funding for prenatal and postpartum care, physical, dental, vision, and mental health care for children, with an initial price tag of up to $51 million in costs to the Colorado taxpayer.

So it's not the booze and the dope after all. Damn.

  3. I once lived in a condo right along the main thoroughfare atop that particular hill. The windowsills would collect fine black "dust" that is apparently mostly tire rubber.
