Your relevance is like yesterday’s news
Nobody wants to read about it
Sensational at first
At noon you are old news
By evening it is totally irrelevant
Once the lead that reached the front page
Your words were once quoted
Now, nobody wants to read it
The comment that was born in the early morning fades
Your words are the news from yesterday
Nobody else tries to read them
Sensational when it came out at dawn
At noon and confirmed news
And in the afternoon forgotten matter
Your relevance is a newspaper from yesterday
Oh... What a ride it’s been. As we prepare to celebrate our anniversary, we want to say Thanks, gracias, xiexie...etc.

With good folks like you by our side, we’re ready for all that the future might bring and we'll take it in stride together!

Winter storms come and go, but whenever we report snow in Arizona and in Southern California is difficult to reject the notion of climate change.
The effects of a record-setting snowfall are expected to extend well into this weekend throughout the arid state of Arizona, including the city of Phoenix.
Officials say the storm closed long stretches of highways throughout Arizona where heavy snow had fallen. Many residents of Phoenix battled rain and cold temperatures, while Flagstaff had broken a 104-year-old record for snowfall in one day.
The smoke signal is one of the oldest forms of long-distance communication. It is a form of visual messaging used to transmit news, signal danger, or gather people to a common area.
However, reaching out using smoke signals, carrier pigeons, the town crier, via an operator or a switchboard is ancient history. Today, the best way to communicate appears to be via Text.
The Cuban Missile Crisis was a 13-day confrontation between the United States and the then Soviet Union initiated by American ballistic missile deployment in Italy and Turkey with consequent Russian ballistic missile deployment in Cuba.
It has been said that history tends to repeats itself, especially when individuals fail to learn the first time around. This could certainly be the case, but then again it could be another fear mongering smokescreen. This could be a distraction to take news off trump #TrumpRussiaProbe and Donald-Vladimir’s alliance, so don’t be fooled
Today, #Russia came close to threatening The United States of America. President Vladimir Putin warns new Russian weapons will target #USA if it deploys missiles to Europe. What was a POTUS response? Check out his Twitter feed, then think long and hard... http://politics.doseofnews.com/
