The Lions lost their chance to go to the Super Bowl by losing their game to San Francisco last night 34-31… but overall, it was a terrific season… Best they’ve had in 30+ years! If only the game had ended after the first half… they’d be on their way to the Super Bowl. Oh well… Hopefully we won’t have to wait another 6 decades for our next shot at it!!

Taylor Swift was on hand to watch her boyfriend Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs defeat the Baltimore Ravens 17-10 to earn their 4th trip to the Super Bowl in 5 years. Social media is split on the pair… With some (especially the young people) eating it up… and others thinking the “Romance” is a Hollywood creation designed to help Democrats - who Swift supports. Thoughts??

“Taylor & Travis Sittin’ in A Tree…

K-I-S-S-I-N-G.

Is it real?

Will she become Kelce’s Spouse?

Or is it just a stunt to get

Joe in the White House???”

How much influence does Taylor have?? A new poll found that 20% of those surveyed said they would cast their vote for, “Whoever Taylor Swift votes for”.

A new study claims that air pollution is making people lazier. Scientists claim that hazardous materials in the air are causing an extra 22 minutes of inactivity each day - and inactivity, they say, is bad for us.

- OR… we can look at it THIS WAY. The more we move… the faster we breath, thus the more of that polution we’re breathing in - leading to even MORE inactivity and MORE health problems! I’m no Doctor… but it seems to me, the smart move here is to just stay on the couch in the first place!

A recent survey finds that young adults are increasingly living with their parents and relying on them for financial support.
