THIS N THAT

 Do you think our Governor will make the little trick-or-treaters wear a mask on Halloween this year?






The top ten American businesses by revenue in 2000.  1. General Motors (18)  2. Walmart (1)  3. Exxon Mobile (3)  4. Ford Motor (12)  5. General Electric (33)  6. IBM (38) 7. Citigroup (31)              8. AT&T (9)   9. Altria Group (x)   10. Boeing (40)

Top ten American businesses by revenue in 2019   1. Walmart (2)  2. Amazon (x)  3. Exxon Mobile (3) 4.  Apple (x)  5  CVS Health (93)  6. Berkshire Hathaway (64)  7. United Health Group (86)  8. McKesson (38)  9. AT&T (8)  10. AmerisourceBergen (x)

In parenthesis are the rankings for the other date.  (x) means they are not in the top 100 in the other year.  Figures per Fortune magazine.  


Have you ever called someone a toad?  Is a toad the same as a frog?  No, they are different.  In general, a frog's skin is smooth and slimy - they are long and graceful.  A toad is more often short and squat with dry and warty skin.  If that don't do it for you, look in the mouth.  A frog has teeth and a toad does not. Got it?
 

When three-letter airport codes became standard, older airports which had been using a two-letter code simply added an 'X".  i.e. LAX, PDX, PHX

 

For a buck a buck does funny things to the does.
