• Now that every car insurance company has some sort of app on the market for a smart phone, instead of having to have a paper copy of your insurance in your glove compartment, drivers should just be able to pull it up on their phone and present that when asked.
• As much as I don’t like the Cowboys wearing their dark blue jerseys, I miss it when they don’t wear them when they play at Washington.

• Speaking of the First lady, she and Dr Jill Biden were at a NASCAR event and was booed, but I think some folks are making a bigger deal out of it than what it is.
• I caught a segment on the CBS Evening News about the new Smithsonian’s First lady exhibit.  A few things stood out.  The first time the term ‘First Lady’ was used was by President Zachary Taylor when he eulogized Dolly Madison.  Before that time, terms such as  “lady presidentress” or “republican queen” were used.
• Whatever you may think of the Occupy Movement, I think you have to be impressed with the students at UC Davis all remaining silent when the chancellor walks to her vehicle.  That’s some serious cooperation by a bunch of upset college kids.
• I was annoyed at my our Sunday school teacher yesterday.  The lesson was over how to study the Bible and she chose the parable of the prodigal son and took the who, what, why, when, and where approach.  There’s nothing wrong with that, except she ignored the when and where and told the class to do that on their own.  I find it vitally important to understand the audience, the culture, and the time period of who Jesus was talking to.  Heck, I find that stuff mostly ignored and think it’s almost foundational to bible study, and its the reason why most passages are misunderstand.  For instance, you’ve heard the passage about ‘turning the other cheek’ and people stating it means to be a pacifist, but in reality, it teaches the lesson of taking the power away from someone to further humiliate you, and you miss that point entirely if you don’t take the time to learn about the culture and the time they lived in..

• Here’s a nice graphic that shows just how far away that shooter was from the White House when let loose with that semiautomatic rifle.  There’s a lot of strange things about that story, but one that stands out to me was that the incident happened on Friday and it was only reported this week.  I would have thought some sort of news team would have picked up on a shooting at the White House the day of the incident.
