OH YEA?

   MONDAY, JANUARY 13TH., 2020
                       OH YEA?

     You may find this hard to believe but
January 13th is "International Skeptic's
Day!"
      I already wonder if this unusual day
is really observed around the world. Or
along the world for those who question
whether the earth is truly round.
      I know there are those who don't
believe the date since the first Friday
of the year and October 13th are also
listed as "Skeptic's Day."
       I have been a skeptic for many
years. Remember, my role as a news
reporter frequently had me asking
questions to,and hearing answers from,
people in politics.
        Of course there's nothing wrong
with some skepticism. If more people
were skeptics far fewer would have
bought the Brooklyn Bridge or sent
money to that guy who emailed to
say the dough was needed to free up
your inheritance discovered in South
Africa!
          So celebrate by raising an
eyebrow when you're given "the
facts" by anyone today and don't
hesitate to carry an umbrella if the
forecaster is promising sunshine!
           Hope I can resell that bridge
to somebody and that all your NEWS
is good!
