Very happy for The Conductor. He deserved to be there years ago.<\/p>\n<p>The CA has an article on the passing of my former student <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialappeal.com\/story\/news\/2021\/03\/05\/drew-daniel-conservative-activist-shelby-county-republican-community-dies\/4592427001\/\">Drew Daniel<\/a>. Drew was a humble community servant and Tigers fan. Many will miss him. &#8220;Politics can get nasty and I&#8217;ve never heard him say a bad word about anyone ever,&#8221; was a quote one person gave the CA about him, and that is consistent with who I knew Drew to be.<\/p>\n<p>Well, today could be a challenging morning. I have a one-day-only $5 off a purchase of at least $25 from DGX. My concern is, can I actually <em>carry<\/em> $25 worth of DGX purchases two and a half blocks down Main Street? Their prices are so low, I&#8217;ll practically be hauling away the entire store.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.memphisweather.net\/forecast.shtml\">Weather today<\/a>: 58\/36, NE wind at 10, 0% chance of rain. To anyone out there thinking, I can show up late to the crawfish boil at Max&#8217;s Sports Bar because it&#8217;s a bit chilly, WRONG! There could be an ice storm going on and Max&#8217;s first crawfish boil of the season would still sell out. Remember I told you about a special guest bartender working today? She told me she&#8217;s considering wearing a tube top.<\/p>\n<p>Looking deeper at the weather: Wednesday-Friday of next week the forecast is mid-upper 50s at night and 70s day. Guess I better get 5 days&#8217; worth of writing done by Tuesday so I can be out the latter half of the week.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;ll do it for this post.
