Coffeemaker broke this morning. It didn’t have the decency to make my morning pot of coffee before breaking. It broke as I was closing the lid over the coffee filter. So no coffee for me this morning. It’s going to be a very long day.

If you ever have a bout with insomnia and need something to do, turn on CBS and watch the old reruns of the Star Trek series. What is running right now is the Star Trek – The Next Generation series, with Captain Piccard.
It is amazing to realize that this series came out over 20 years ago. Can we really be that old?

Well, looks like all the tomato plants I bought this year got that fungus that I read about. It seems that every tomato plant sold by all the big outlets like Home Depot, KMart, Lowes and Target were infected with the fungus at the nursery or wholesalers before being shipped. The fungus has slowly killed each plant. I cut down each plant and tossed them in the trash can. So no tomatoes in my garden this year.

Funny how the real story behind the news flashes can change dramatically by the time all the facts come out. Especially the body counts on big disasters.
Yesterday they talked about a fisherman finding a leg in a lake. Then it became the river. Then it became a leg bone. Now it turns out that an old Indian burial ground was washed away in a flash flood from all the rain. The bone is supposedly hundreds of years old from an Indian.
Right.

What some people may not realize is that a job is more than just the money. For a lot of people, a job gives them a reason to get up each morning, a sense of purpose. The fortunate ones are the workers who truly love what they do every day. That is why a pink slip can be so devastating. It is more than just the money.
