Good morning. Dick Cheney. Gardner Webb.

Joining Kissinger in hell if there is one. PBS online carries the AP obit. Strib had the same carry.

Mark Twain said, "I do not wish death on anyone, but certain obituaries interest me more than others." 

That said, leaf raking continues. The yard seems to get bigger year by year, the trees get bigger and leafier.

Other news, the Minnesota Golden Gopher basketball team defeated Gardner Webb

Who? What? They only played against one guy? 

Nope, looked it up:

In North Carolina. Learning two things from today's newspaper. Cheney died, Gardner Webb University exists. Already knew, today there's an election in Minnesota. Bless the results, which we learn later.

With Gardner Webb a Christian endeavor, they can believe the Cheney- Kissinger thought.

We're there! Without Dick Cheney. We got Trump.

All that in one statewide newspaper, and I did not have to read any of it. Headlines suffice. 

Just had to look up a thing or two.
