I have been watching the Buddhist monks walk for peace

and I respect it. We could use a nice, nasty outbreak of peace for a while but I think that it isn't in the cards the way things are going.

I snooped into Buddhism many years ago and found it to be compatible with Christianity. One can be both.

The late Tina Turner stated she was a mixture of Baptist and Buddhist and I understand that.

The monks started off in Texas and will arrive in Washington DC today (Z date). They have various things to do in DC and in a day or so will return to Texas. 

====================================

I watched the TPUSA halftime show which was OK. 

I don't watch professional sports but used to watch the Superbowl halftime show but didn't last year. I watched the official one afterwards, or at least a pretty good part of it and wasn't very impressed. I think that the NFL show should be 100% American because American football is an American thing.

I know the NFL is trying to create an audience abroad but think it should stick to its roots.

==================================

I am in for a day of sweating bullets as the temperature has started to climb and I have huge ice dams on the front of the house to deal with. 

Ice dams can force melting snow (water) in through the eaves and down into the inside of the walls. It's going to be hourly checks and I guess I'll just have to sleep in one hour snatches for the next day or so which sucks to the big time.

We shall see what we shall see.
