Alex Murdaugh found Guilty of Murder of Wife and Son
It was quite a week for the trial of Alex Murdaugh for the murder of his wife and son.
As I watched the trial I was shocked by how many people have been killed by the hand of someone in this family.
There was the beloved housekeeper, who died first. Then we had the "mystery" of a sudden shooting of Alex Murdaugh in the head and on to a strange death of a young gay guy found dead on the street in front of the Murdaugh residence.
We move on to the boating death of a female passenger on Paul Murdaugh's speeding boat and we end with the shooting deaths of Paul Murdaugh and Maggie Murdaugh.
Alex Murdaugh got caught lying like a champ about that shooting. He was found guilty and sentenced to two consecutive life terms.
Five dead people and a grazing-bullet scar on Alex Murdaugh's head.
I was occupied all week with this trial. It has all the ingredient of a first class true crime.
Ann Rule would crank out a great book about this crime.
Oh, and I'm sure there will be more on this subject in the future.

Review Restaurant Impossible with Robert Irvine
An episode of "Restaurant Impossible" has a standard format. It begins with the introduction to the restaurant which is about to be done over. The restaurant about to be remodeled, re-furnished, set up with new menus with all the problem money issues being dealt with is usually an eatery that has been losing money and customers for a while..

More on President Carter
I wrote a quick blurb about President Jimmy Carter recently as we are to understand he is in hospice at home and his health is not good. However, he is 98 years old and thoughts are he is probably close to the end.
I declared Carter to be the worst president ever in our American history
I was a liberal when Jimmy Carter was president, something I am not proud of. I was in my later 20'2 when Carter got elected. It didn't take long for all of America to know how bad a president can be.
We had long gas lines, at times having to wait over an hour just to get gas. We had mortgage interest rates of over 15%. Americans were captured by our enemies and held hostage for over a year.
Finally, Ronald Reagan got elected president and America became normal again.
Someday I will tell my story about Ronald Reagan, how I went to his swearing in, how D.C. cops almost arrested me for making a lot of noise while he was speaking.
I was still a liberal and considered Reagan the enemy.
But I eventually grew up.

Review Restaurant Impossible with Robert Irvine
Most time the folks owning the restaurant about to be remodeled are very troubled, with employees all doing the wrong thing with a interior set up that does not quite work.
Irvine brings in a construction team and they will re-model the restaurant and change to more modern furniture. Irvine himself overlooks the every day running of the restaurant, to include who is cooking, who is serving and most of all who is managing the place. Of course Irvine tests the entire restaurant menu and most of it tastes not so good.
After all this action, the contractors pretty up the place, a new and tastier menu is created, employees are moved to more suitable positions and the public is invited enthusiastically to come on in to the all new, better managed restaurant.
One very important thing Irvine does is to calculate how much a menu item costs to make vs. how much is earned from the menu item via the price. So many people running a restaurant...well hey, they're NOT accountants.
Irvine helps to overhaul the restaurant and teach the troubled owners how to run it.
It is on once a week and a pleasure to watch and learn from the whole thing.

Weekly Idle Gossip
Just a collection on social/political items that caught my attention. Now I try to catch yon reader's attention.
-----------------------------------------------------
Richard Belzer, one of the detectives on Law & Order-Special Victims Unit, is no longer with us.
I read that this actor is a cousin of Henry Winkler, the guy who played Fonzie on Happy Days.
May he rest in peace.

There's been lots of noise this week about future airings of the might slap given by Will Smith to Chris Rock.
Chris Rick will ever be an asshole for such a silly action.
