MAYBE I’M AMAZED

Our “Maybe I’m Amazed” logo. 

MAYBE I’M AMAZED…..but not really that CNN TV and Sirius Radio host Chris Cuomo’s dream home was ravaged by Trump supporters in Long Island. The home he broadcasts from is temporary since the host and his family was harassed by fake phone calls regarding hostage situations in his home as well as damage to his property. This goes above and beyond the scale of criminality. One loser who was apprehended was already under charges for biting another human being. When a thug President inspires hate, he inspires and incites violence.
MAYBE I’M AMAZED….that it is impossible to sneeze with your eyes open.
MAYBE I’M AMAZED……that even under the harsh criticism of protestors and pro Trumpites, Governor Tom Wolf has come in with a near 70% approval rating as to how he is handling this virus situation. He is measured and calm.
MAYBE I’M AMAZED….that astronauts actually get taller when they are in space.
MAYBE I’M AMAZED….that during his extensive World War II travels, Winston Churchill’s airplane was pressurized. Since he was susceptible to pneumonia, a special oxygen mask was made for him by the Institute of Aviation Medicine at Farnborough. He slept wearing it, even with Commando’s low altitude.Some time later a transparent pressure chamber was devised, into which Churchill could crawl, cigar and all, if the aircraft had to climb. But it would not fit into any of his aircraft without disassembling the rear fuselage, and was rejected out of hand. (LuLac, Churchill Travels blog)
MAYBE I’M AMAZED…..that bubble wrap was first invented in 1957 as wallpaper.
MAYBE I’M AMAZED…..that one of the nation's top meat companies has issued a warning that there could be a shortage at grocery stores nationwide due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
In a full page ad that appeared in Sunday's edition of The New York Times, the chairman of the board of Tyson Foods, John H. Tyson, wrote that "the food supply chain is breaking."
The company's ominous message came after it temporarily closed a pork processing plant in Waterloo, Iowa, on April 22. More than 180 coronavirus infections had been linked to the plant, and hundreds of employees weren't going to work out of fear of getting sick, NBC News reported. The plant accounted for almost 4% of U.S. pork processing capacity, according to the National Pork Board. (NY Times, LuLac)
MAYBE I’M AMAZED… that a human being will spend an average of two weeks in their lifetime kissing his/her object of their affections.
MAYBE I’M AMAZED …that Los Angeles Lakers got a $4.6M government loan intended for small businesses. They returned it.
