According to a recent medical study keeping a light on at night while you sleep – even your TV – is bad for your heart and raises your insulin resistance. However, the study only looked at two groups of 10 people over 4 total nights of sleep:  Makes me wonder why those scientists didn’t study the millions of people who sleep during the day and work at night. No, wait, they already did, so I can sleep easy now. (Thanks to Jp Valery on Unsplash for the photo!)

• Did you know the minimum salary for a Major League Baseball player jumped 22.5% for 2022, to $700,000 per year? Guess who else got a pay raise of over 20% this year? The United States Congress. For both the baseball players and members of Congress it was the largest single pay raise ever recorded. How’s THAT for a coincidence?

• I used one of those online “Password Generators” to create a strong password for my internet accounts, only to find out “LGBTQQIP2SAA” was already being used by the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning, queer, intersex, pansexual, two-spirit (2S), androgynous and asexual community. Why this wasn’t flagged by my CRT is a mystery to me.

• The Ukraine War to date has resulted in an estimated 10,000 military deaths and 726 civilian deaths (including at least 52 children). Imagine if the death toll was over 500,000: Then they could rename it the Tigray War in Ethiopia, which has been raging for over 16 months. Have you heard anything about it from the mainstream press or world leaders? Neither had I until earlier today.

• Speaking of the war in the Ukraine, if you’re one of (now) 23 uber-rich Russian oligarchs you’ve had your assets frozen, enormous super yachts seized, and your movements restricted: Unless of course you happen to be Yelena Baturina, also a Russian oligarch and the richest woman in Russia, who in 2015 had dinner with Vice President Joe Biden and gave Hunter Biden $3,500,000. Gee, I wonder if she owns a yacht?

• People tell me I need to put more humor into my blog postings so I decided to add to my nascent standup comedy routine…let me know what you think!

  • Inflation under Joe Biden is so bad I can’t even afford to pay attention!

  • The only good thing about inflation is I no longer need Viagra!

  • I’m so out of shape the only way I could run more that a mile is if I ate bad Mexican Food!

  • You know what they say, if it isn’t one thing it’s two!

  Thanks, you’ve been a great audience! Stop back again and be sure to try the Chicken Marsala, the chef says it’s fantastic! Good night everybody!
