Rise and Shine --- Now, that's funny

Good Morning and welcome to a wet Tuesday!

So, the first Superman comic book sold for $1 million yesterday.
This kind of thing is always a little strange. First of all, who saves a comic book? You buy it, read it, pass it around and maybe it comes back. Most of the time when it comes back, the pages are torn or cut out.
Somebody, though, saved this comic book since 1938 and apparently it's in perfect condition. It's probably not been in the air for years.
Not only is that strange, but somebody actually had $1 million sitting around and the best they could do was buy a comic book.
Strange days indeed.
I remember back in the day when my grandmother passed along some of my dad's old comic books. At the time, I was just happy to read them. I showed them to my friends. The covers got ripped off. They were drawn on.
Now, I'm thinking I should have taken the books, put them in zip lock bags and stored them in a temperature-controlled room.
Then again, it was more fun to look at them.

Rise and Shine --- Huh?

Good Morning and let's get those spring temperatures back!

There are just certain things in this world that make no sense, no matter how you spin them. For instance:
• What kind of worm is working its way through the brain of Coatesville firefighter Robert Tracey Jr.? Let's see, the city has been terrorized by a string of arsons that have stopped since the arrest of two other fine gentleman. So, feeling left out, Tracey allegedly went out last weekend and started fires. What, not enough work last month?
• What makes people put a confederate flag onto their automobile? Now, I'm not trying to stereotype anything, but most of these flags (front license plates, window stickers) appear on pick-up trucks. Are you a part of a southern sleeper cell waiting for the ghost of Robert E. Lee to climb out of his grave? Do the voices in your head tell you it's a good idea to put a blatant racist symbol on the front of your car? Does it make you feel somehow superior? Well, here's a bit of news: The South is not rising again. Even if it did, the new south would be led by Paula Dean and she'd take over by feeding fat-laden 'Southern Delights' to the masses. Oh yeah, by the way, it just makes you look stupid.
• Why can't the government move as fast in real life as it does in '24'? On the show, you can have an FBI investigation, a senate hearing, dozens of arrests, a president making his/her own laws, terrorist attacks, cross-country flights, martial law, disbandment of the FBI, reformation of the FBI, police lock downs, hijacked planes/trains/automobiles and more terrorist attacks all before Jack Bauer wraps the whole thing up 24 hours later. Then again, that's just plain silly.
Speaking of silly:
