I have been receiving the WSJ daily along with the Columbus Disgrace. I normally pick up from the outer vestibule of our 37 unit condo each morning. I put the CD copies on the 'round table' and deliver a few downstairs copies after I have a short workout.
I thought few people were interested in my blog until I recently learned that Blogger, my blog provider has been holding comments under a "Comments Confirmation" comments tag. I was unaware, but recently learned, that there have been over 1200 comments since I started my SamKat blog skegley.blogspot.com in the last half of 2008, twelve years ago. I have perused most and found that the comments, although few are traceable as to the commenter 's internet link, they are 99.9+% extremely favorable, although by 'unknown'. Comments such as 'Just found this outstanding blog', and 'you are a great writer' just overwhelm, me now. Why didn't blogger let me know? Neither I, nor my family or friends who contribute so many wonderful posts have received a dime from my blog. I still enjoy posting on my blog; however, at 87, with many life-savings expended over these last 22 years, could certainly enjoy renumeration for my wife, Jeanie, of 68 years.
Back to the WSJ, which I admire gratefully over the leftist Columbus newspaper.
Saturday's are the weekend edition of WSJ which has a lot of greatly interesting reading. A neighbor, Dorothy Carroll, likes certain sections that I take to her door after my own perusal. I noted a few "goodies" I want to say something about in this post.
1.) Prime Minster Boris Johnson of the United Kingdom tested postive for the COVID-19 virus on March 26 and was hospitalized, put into the Intensive Care Unit, and released April 12. Awareness of the well-educated Prime Minister's serious encounter and survival has seemed to have a fairly calming effect in England.
2.) I knew nothing about Aaron Ginn, 32, who early-on published a March 20 paper "Evidence Over Hysteria-COVID-19" which had over two million readers in two and a half articles it was taken down. It can now be found on Archives.com which I intend to do today.
3.) Kimberly Strassel, who divides her time between her Friday article on the WSJ and her home in Alaska. Kimberly also has a book I want to read "Resistance". She also contributed an article today about how well Alaska has handled on-line education. She has children in high school, middle school and the third grade.
4.) Purdue University's President, Mitch Daniel, delivered a May 13 Convocation Address in which he had a couple of advice comments by Timothy Leary, the Harvard Professor's comments years ago to students:
"Turn on, tune in, and drop out." by Tim Leary.
Mitch Daniel countered that to students today with:
Turn off, tune out, and drop in." Off the phone, On the screen, The drop-in was for visits to old friends and family.
I hope these WSJ items mean something to you whose comments will probably "Await Confirmation"
by Blogger. They do allow me to blog freely but make it difficult to express my Christian Conservative views at times ... Oh well ...
