Monday, President Biden signed an Executive Order designed to curb threats stemming from the rise of AI… and now we know why: A White House Spokesperson says the Prez watched Tom Cruise’s
”Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning” and got worried about Computers taking over. (True!)

- Uh oh. I heard he also watched, “The Wizard of Oz”… so look for a new Ban on Flying Houses & Scarecrows.

Pharmacists protesting poor working conditions walked out of Walgreens and CVS stores around the country Monday.

- It would be a hard pill to swallow… if only there was someone to fill your prescription!

Hundreds of years after the “Salem Witch Trials relatives are trying to have the women’s conviction’s overturned and their names cleared.

- Back then, the women considered “Witches” were arrested and put to death. In modern times, they’d get a TV show called, “The Real Housewives of Salem, Massachusetts”.

The Internet is full of “Hacks”… Ways to improve your life with simple “tricks”.

For example, today I read that the best way to get your sneakers extra clean is by “Brushing Them” with White Toothpaste.

- Question: They didn’t mention it, but should I Floss the eyelet holes where the laces go too?

- I usually use Crest toothpaste (Colgate globs up too much at the tip of the tube) for my teeth - but I have a blister on my heel from trick or treating so when I clean my sneakers today… I’m gonna use Sensodyne.

- When I was growing up, I had an Aunt and Uncle named Tom & Eilah. But I always called them “Tom & Eyelet” because my Mother had told me that was the “Proper name” for the lace holes in my shoes and I figured I should use the “Proper name” for my Aunt”. What did I know? I was a kid! I was only 18!

And then I read Hack #2:

Always eat your hamburger upside down. Why? Because the top bun - which is technically called the “Crown” - is thicker than the bottom.

- Come to think of it… That’s the exact Opposite of my Aunt Eilah.

Have a great day and I’ll see you back here Thursday!
