Spinners

I do not do it often, but now and then current events and “pop culture” compel me to make some comments.  Recently, I heard about something called “fidget spinners“.

I guess fidget spinners are the new fad toy.  In fact I heard a TV news report that school teacher’s desk drawers are beginning to look like the teacher’s desk drawer in A Christmas Story movie–full of fidget spinners.

Purportedly, fidget spinners help burn off nervous energy.

I found something on the Target Walleye FaceBook page that will that do much better:

Think I am “way out there”?  Ever heard of something called “nature deficit disorder“?

You need some therapy, better pick up your old “fidget spinner” this weekend and GO FISH!
