TBW Daily Diary

Damp day with a chill in the air. Rick Miller called to say that there is activity at La Kasbah, the Second Street restaurant damaged by a smoky fire a few weeks ago. Will try to see if the establishment plans to reopen and when . . . Hoped the passage of the health care bill would still some souls (one got tired of the media coverage) but it has had just the opposite effect apparently. We are more bombarded than ever. The Pennsylvania AG plans to sue! Is this political posturing? If we have that kind of money on hand it would be better spent reopening the State Library . . . A buddy on Facebook joined some anti-Obama campaign and promptly got slapped down by a "friend" in Germany who said it was time some military money went to providing for our own citizens. My buddy's other friends on the site pretended not to understand the fellow's broken English . . . Regardless of one's position on the matter, it was touching to read of the on-going tributes at Sen. Ted Kennedy's grave; he had worked for years for universal health care . . . Pro football has decided to change the rules for overtime games. There is no simple way to describe these so I won't try. Does anyone remember when a tie was a tie? . . .
