Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 14th October 2024.

14th October, 2024.

You know, I don’t know if I approve.

I follow the news: like many of us do.

And?

I couldn’t help but notice that the US is sending troops to Israel: to help the latter use the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense, or THAAD, missile defence system.

Granted, it’s only about a hundred or so troops.

But … ?

I can’t help but think that’s what started US involvement in the Vietnam War: sending in troops as — ha! — military advisers to help train South Vietnamese troops.

I find it mildly worrying.

And also know it’s election year in the US: and wonder if President Biden is trying to get Kamala Harris a few extra votes.

The Daily Teaser — 8-6-2015: World Oceans Day.

Oh … but I’ve got a day off … !

That’s a good thing.

The reason I’m up, comparatively early?   Is that I’ve got a doctor’s appointment, this morning.

Oh, nothing drastic!   I’ve an under-active thyroid: which I’m on medication for.   The appointment … ?

Is to follow up on the blood tests I recently had.

Here’s hoping they show nothing TOO serious happening … !
