Sunday Sundown Rundown - 1/12/25

3 Up

1. California Fire Fighters - From nearby and even across international borders (some even imprisoned), a lot has to be offered to the firefighters who made their way to Southern California this week to help control this massive natural disaster. 

2. Human Spirit - People who opened their homes to others. Businesses that provided free services and assistance. The outpouring of donations and so much more. People can be awesome at times. 

3. Medical Debt - This seems like a pretty big deal, no?! Why should your health and the needs for your care affect your credit score? 

3 Down

1. California Wildfires - Awful. There's not much you can place into words here that would capture so many people losing their homes, their lives, and everything.

2. Politicized Wildfires - As much as the human spirit took center stage, of course, we gotta make things political in this nation. Because, you know, there's an opportunity to do so. 

3. Extreme Weather - There's just a whole lotta weather, weathering oddly. That is just my take. 

3 Interesting

1. Trump Conviction - Wild. No one really cares. But it's still so crazy to think a convicted felon is set to take the White House in a few days. History books for my kids are going to be VERY interesting to scope out. 

2. Trudeau Resigning - Well, that came out of nowhere. 

3. Greenland Interest - Speaking about out of nowhere - so we're looking into expanding, huh? Greenland? Hmmm, alright?! Okay? I guess?
