We seem to be in the middle of an epidemic of news leaks, fake news, and outright lies. Whether it's Iran or the Fuci files it feels that Ronald Regan's words of "trust but verify" have never rung more true.

Many days I breeze though putting together these offering but other days it can be a struggle. Maybe its just not much happening or I'm a little groggy or a combination of the two. Today's one of those days but that's when you need to have the disciple to do the "job."

Reportedly the US military will be taking a break from bombing Iran because we are running low on missiles and need to resupply. Remember when we called these breaks "cease fires?" But may as well call them what they actually are now - the pause that refreshes resupplies.

With LeBron signing with the 76ers look forward to lots of reports of did Philly create a "super team" or ones asking how this group will get along with a limited number of shots per game and only one ball. If you drank each time someone uttered "Philadelphia" and "chemistry" in the same sentence the next few months you'd have to check yourself into rehab.

One of the big changes I see in society is knowledge losing it's monopoly. It was held for too long by "experts," newscasters, politicians, and others. Now many can see these folks are far to often wrong or don't understand the issue. Problem is too many fall sway to the wrong type. Who is the right type? You have to decide.

The Red Sox won the first game of a double-header to run their win streak to 15-games and tie the franchise record. But then they lost the second game to end the streak. Not sure if my old school Sox upbringing makes me wonder if the ending of the win streak is the first of many disappointments to come or if I should be positive and hope this is just an opportunity to start a new win streak?

Gommateshwara Statue
Was not even aware this 42 foot granite statute even existed before hearing the Gommateshwara statute discussed on the latest Joe Rogan podcast. If you enjoy Graham Hancock type history - this is a podcast for you.

College Football Thoughts
Was having these thoughts anyway an figured may as well jot them down and post on Substack.
Enjoy!
Welcome to the Monkey House
Recently read Kurt Vonnegut's collection of 1950's era short stories Welcome to the Monkey House and for the most part enjoyed it. There were one or two stories that may not have held up so well but for the most part worth the read.
Let me get this out right away but not sure if naming a book after what can be boiled down to frankly a rape story would get a green light by publishers today but the book is a collection of stories that reflect the thinking and fears of a by gone era. It is interesting to look at the thinking and fears from 70+ years ago. But again - don't think the rape story as title of the collection would be approved today.
As an aside long have noticed how Kurt Vonnegut consistently used unique words or phrase and defined them in his own style. Or by his unique definitions. Here were two such examples from the book:
- Drupelets - "the pulpy little knobs that compose the outside of the raspberry"
- Euphoria - "a sense of buoyancy and well-being"
Was thinking of creating a collection of Vonnegut's dictionary of unique words and phrases but see it's already been done.

Bombing continues in Iran but that has become almost background noise as far as the media is concerned. Why report on something America is winning and is good for Trump? Besides the bombings were becoming repetitive and news isn't supposed to do re-runs.
