First, let me confess that sometimes my mind makes strange connections…
Señora has not been feeling well the last few days. This morning she was staying in bed and passing time with her smart phone. She had leaned over the precipice and fallen, careening wildly, into the YouTube rabbit hole. She was watching a video of the Jimmy Kimmel Live show from 2017. This particular segment was Clip of the Year, showing various short videos that went viral . As I came in with fresh coffee, the venturi effect took hold and I was sucked down with Alice. Unable to fight the maelstrom I just entered, I watched this one video with her.
My favorite was of a sports star from Europe or Africa that was receiving an award. He was remarking on how glad he was to receive it and was thanking various folks. He then went on to thank his wife and girlfriend. Realizing what he had just said, he gave the classic double take. He then worked diligently to backtrack that comment and only thank his wife!
The winner was a clip of a monkey who threw his poop and nailed a zoo goer right in the nose where the poop stuck. Ouch!
There were also a couple clips of Trump. In one he tried 2 or 3 times to pronounce Puerto Rico correctly, never succeeding. And then… was the much seen clip of him throwing paper towels to people when he visited Puerto Rico after the devastation caused by Hurricane Maria. For some reason it struck me as much the same as the monkey nailing the tourist with poop.

Keep well.
