Wednesday Flotsam and Jetsam

Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.

Last night I turned the channel with the Bruins losing to the Candadiens 5-2 in the 3rd period. I changed to John Wayne's last movie The Shootist which still had about a 3rd to go. Couldn't help but notice that the gravestone JB Book's ordered had his age as 58 if you did the math. That seemed awfully young in today's years so I looked it up - John Wayne died 3-years after the movie at age 72 which would have made him 69 when The Shootist was released. For comparison sake - Tom Cruise is 63-years old but can you picture a comparingly aged Wayne doing his own stunts in Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning? We live in a different time.
