Also Worth A Look…

  • AI chatbots unable to accurately summarize news, BBC finds - So basically, AI is just like people?

  • Plane grounded for two days after stowaway cat enters electrical bay - Looks like the airline finally found a purr-fect excuse for another delay

  • Thousands of chopsticks spill onto California highway - It took longer than planned to clean them up because half of the authorities couldn’t figure out how to pick them up

  • Woman wants refund after giving psychic over $50,000 to help her fall in love - Not particularly difficult to predict this woman’s love story isn’t going to have a happy ending

  • Woman stabs boyfriend in neck after argument over wedding venue, police say - I had to be a Negative Nelly, but I don’t think this couple is going to have a happy ending. Maybe the guy can get together with the woman who got ripped off by the psychic

  • Ex bugging you? Name a cockroach after them at NY aquarium this Valentine’s Day - And they say love is dead

  • Kid Rock cuts Nashville performance short, storms off stage after audience won't clap - Jeb Bush was unavailable for comment

  • Man, 26, Busted for Making 30K Fake IDs - All 30,000 of them were named “McLovin”

  • Ice cream craving leads to $1 million lottery prize - Go ahead and get that Blizzard. It might pay off. Probably not, but at least you got a Blizzard out of it

  • Mechanic Learns to Read at 58 and Finally Gets to Enjoy a Magazine He Bought 40 Years Ago - It’s never too late. Stop putting that thing off. Also, the guy looks like Captain Kangaroo

My very first novel: “RIGHTEOUS MIGHT”

What happens when a modern aircraft carrier battle group and their British and Japanese allies suddenly find themselves the day before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor? You'll have to buy the book to find out!
