    Emergencies that aren't emergencies: LET'S MAKE A LIST!

    INSTEAD OF RAILING-ON AT EACH OTHER ABOUT THIS NONSENSE, LET'S HAVE SOME FUN WITH IT.

    Husband: Honey we have an emergency!

    Wife: What? are the kids ok?

    Husband: Yes the kids are fine, that's not it.

    Wife: Were you in an accident or something?

    Husband: no, no accidents or anything. Remember a few years ago when we talked about fixing the back fence?

    Wife: Yeah?

    Husband: Well it's just occurred to me that I hadn't gotten around to doing it but now it's at the very top of my list!
    Let's have some fun listing other non-emergencies. Trivial and pointless answers, things that bother YOU but aren’t actually serious are encouraged.

    My National Emergency is that Chicagoans keep calling that deep-dish thing a "pizza" when it so clearly is not apizza. Congress refuses to act!
    People today will buy a car with square wheels as long as the steering wheel is heated.

      "Reason and facts are sacrificed to opinion and myth. Demonstrable falsehoods are circulated and recycled as fact. Narrow minded opinion refuses to be subjected to thought and analysis. Too many now subject events to a prefabricated set of interpretations, usually provided by a biased media source. The myth is more comfortable than the often difficult search for truth."

            Bryce Harper and Manny Machado remain unsigned. This is a National Calamity!

                And I'm pretty sure there's only one roll of toilet paper left in the house.

                  I also may be out of cat food soon. The situation is evolving rapidly.

                      Now is not the time for recriminations--I'm too busy devoting all of my resources to making an evaluation on where things stand. Hopefully later today I can provide an update, but for now I can only ask for your thoughts and prayers while I assess the magnitude of this crisis.

                      Thank you,

                            Carry on.
