Welcome home

When we pulled into our driveway post-storm after our trip, three days after the rest of the neighborhood cleaned up and manicured their yards, this is the theme song that was playing in my head. It reverberated between my ears as we scooped up a carpet of branches, twigs, leaves and debris.

As an unrelated side note, It was also the song our DJ blared seventeen years and a day ago at our wedding reception while introducing our bridal party.

As an even more unrelated side note, I grew up believing that Demond Wilson, who played Lamont in Sanford and Son, died of a heroine overdose shortly after the show’s cancellation in 1977. In reality, he is alive and well at 73, writing Christian books, happily married and a father of six.

There is no point to this post other than the song is in my head, and now it’s in yours, too.

Fact check this

As we approach the 2020 presidential election, now more than ever, fact-checking is important. The most commonly used fact-checking website is Snopes, which for years was 50% owned by an ad agency and up until last year was in partnership with Facebook. Since husband-and-wife duo Barbara and David Mikkelson launched the mom & pop website in 1994, they have partaken in a nasty divorce after Barbara accused David of embezzling their fortune on lavish vacations and prostitutes. David has since hired a staff of 15 “fact-checkers” using no known formal screening or evaluation process. In addition, judging from the below photo, Barbara is a crazy cat lady, which always detracts credibility.

Luckily, the people at Snopes have carefully examined and debunked this myth, verifying only that Barbara loves cats. Thankfully, all allegations behind our most respected authoritative source of information have been classified as no more than urban legend.
