The Summary of the Week

[kybearfuzz]

Nothing major happened this week. It's been busy at work and I've been relatively tired when I get home from work. A few naps occurred. Here are some bits and pieces of news and other things I remember (so far):

• Glenn Frey of the Eagles passed away this week. During my teenage years, his hits "The Heat is On" and "You Belong to the City" were popular thanks to the movie "Beverly Hills Cop" and the show "Miami Vice." I remember thinking that he was very handsome and I enjoyed his videos for the music and the eye candy. It's rather sad when artists you sort of grew up with start passing away. It brings your own aging to the forefront.



• I have managed to get the next issue of "Grizzly and The Bear Patrol" plotted out. Hopefully, I'll have the pages plotted out and can start drawing soon. However, I've been in a bit of a drawing slump of late. After the 365 days of cartooning, I guess I subconsciously took a bit of break.



• Caribou Barbie (aka Sarah Palin) endorsed Donald Trump for President. What a spectacle... As one circulating online meme states, "Hot Mess Endorses Dumpster Fire!" I snort-laughed at the one, which almost never happens. Since McCain lost the presidential election with her as a running mate, I don't see her endorsement as a positive one for Trump. I dread the election season. It makes us look so ridiculous to other countries.



• I've been binge-watching "Criminal Minds" and "Keeping Up Appearances" on Netflix. How is that for two ends of the spectrum in terms of entertainment.



• The snow is a-coming apparently. The volume keeps changing, but it looks like my area will be getting around 6 inches. The rest of KY is looking at much more. Luckily, I've already been to the store for groceries. Friday is looming, so I'm good with the snow.

You mean this isn't the election season? I thought it started six months ago? Is Kentucky a Republican state?

I have rather broad tastes too - and I think that's a good thing!

Right now, each political party has folks vying for their respective party nomination, so technically it's not election season yet. It's a hot mess for the most part, especially the Republicans whose hopefuls seem to be dead set on seeing who can act the most ridiculous to appeal to most uneducated.

Once the party nominees are set, then the election campaigning begins. And then you almost don't want to watch TV anymore. Thank heavens for Netflix.

And sadly, Kentucky tends to go Republican overall, except for areas like Lexington, Louisville, and Bowling Green, where the major universities are located. They usually vote Democratic.

And broad tastes are a good thing! :)

I guess it's the whole choosing candidates that makes it seem so long? Here, the party leaders are already in place long before an election begins.

I assumed Kentucky was Republican, but good to know there are pockets of Democratic support!
