Friday the 13th of May, 2022. Partly Sunny, Slight Breeze, 80 degrees 2:44 p.m.
I am doing my blog early as when Tina gets home we will be busy. I believe the electrician will be over this evening to finish changing out the electrical outlets. That will be a big accomplishment towards our never ending house upgrading.
Today I had lunch with Jerry at Chop Stick’s, then ran an errant and home. It was a fun outing and good company. The food was good also. Not much else going on today so am making my quote a bit longer.
Ouote of the Day: Making Decisions. William McKinley, the 25th U.S. President, once had to choose between two equally qualified men for a key job. He puzzled over the choice until he remembered a long ago incident.
O n a rainy night , McKinley had boarded a crowded streetcar. One of the men he was now considering had also been aboard, though he didn’t see McKinley. Then an old woman carrying a basket of laundry struggled into the car, looking in vain for a seat. The job candidate pretended not to see her and kept his seat. McKinley gave up his seat to help her. Remembering the episode, which he called “this little omission of kindness,” McKinley decided against the man on the streetcar. Our decisions— even the small, fleeting ones—tell a lot about us.
