Oh my... the world seems to be spiraling, but we just continue to plate... and ponder... And yes, our daughter wants more care packages, and our son, when booking his flight back to LA for Spring Break with 5 of his friends... decided to take multiple layovers in order to find the absolute BEST AIRPORT BARS!
But that's not even the serious subjects... What are, you ask? Well:
1 - Putting a Dairy Queen walk-up in downtown Manhattan Beach... where, most importantly, the smallest size to order is a medium, and it has to be an Oreo Cookie Blizzard.
2 - Chris's retirement MUST include a Walmart style greeter, full-time job, entertaining dogs at Healthy Spot Doggy Day Care... And yes, he has songs he has been writing for those pups too....
3 - And 3, whats gives with BITCOIN. WE TALK BITCOIN AND A LOT OF IT. And, most importantly how distrust in the system led to BITCOIN'S Bonanza, but also, when it was revealed Jeffrey Epstein was partially behind Bitcoin, it caused the faith in the block-chain governed asset to wane... and wane super fast!
WE ARE PLATE AND PONDER! Please follow, download, enjoy, and review... Til next time, have a BLIZZARD and pet a dog!
