Short Takes 

     Walgreens and CVS say they plan to provide abortion pills. So, you men, who claim to be women, can look forward to this easy solution to a major problem. 

     The U.S. increased liquefied natural gas exports to Europe by 137% in 2022. U.S. shipments accounted for more than half of Europe's imports.

     Our natural gas production generated about 45 percent more than Russia, which is in second place.

The Game of Life

     Last Sunday, the Buffalo Bills met the Cincinnati Bengals in the NFL playoffs. Damar Hamlin was able to attend the game. Who dat? 

     Damar is the Bill's linebacker whose heart stopped during a game in Cincinnati January 2. Medics rushed on the field, got his heart started, and did so again on the way to the hospital. 

     Hamlin's first question, returning to consciousness on January 4,  "Did we win?" 

     A doctor at the hospital answers, "Yes, Damar. You've won the game of life."

     Reminds me of an incident decades ago, playing soccer with other fathers of kids in the soccer league. I was playing goalie, when a ball was kicked hard and fast into my chest. 

     I laid there breathless for a couple minutes. Soon as I could talk, I wanted to know if the opponents had scored. 

     Nope.
