Strange

  Today I learned my 78-year-old tenant has a marble or two loose in one of his ears. Med School clinic said "loose marble" could cause dizziness and vertigo. It's apparently common. My mother used to joke about "loose marbles" in peoples' heads. In other news today a $17,000 taxbill on the abandoned property across the street from WT Free Press headquarters disappeared on LCAD database. The junk and weeds have yet to disappear across the street. At the EUB(electric utility board) meeting today Robert Musselman(Ranch House) ask if "smart meters" could monitor TV station being watched or measure usage of individual appliances. The answer to both was NO.  A local political activist had a choice between going to a townhall meeting or a "frat rat" meeting last night. He went to the "frat rat" meeting. In Seminole(Gaines County) a local veterinarian was discovered with a couple of "white lightnin' stills". Both him and his son were arrested. A local former marine barricaded himself in and threatened suicide. He was arrested. The IHateLP&L Facebook crowd are somewhat silent and that may be the best news of all.
