Sunday Flotsam and Jetsam

Rory McIlroy is still tied up on the Masters leader board with Cam Young at -11. Rory had a bumpy Saturday while trying to win back-to-back green jackets. Can you truly be a wire-to-wire champion if you were tied for the lead on two days of the tournament? Also you know all the golfers are aware Scottie Scheffler is lurking 4 strokes back at -7. Should be a great Sunday.

Don't be surprised if VP JD Vance takes a hard line with the Iranians in the peace negotiations in Pakistan. Politically allowing Vance to appear serious is wise politically and the mullahs real don't have any cards to play. In reality they're fighting for either minor concessions or death from above. Don't be surprised if another venue is chosen either - so the Pakistanis know they need to make this time work as well. That subtly puts them on our side.

Friday Flotsam and Jetsam
Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.
Yesterday kicked off the Masters with last year's champion Rory McIlroy sharing 1st with Sam Burns are -5 at the end of the day. Could we see not just a back to back champion but doing it wire to wire? Can't help but think that the champion usually seems to be sitting back in the pack around E after the first day. We shall see.

College Football Thoughts
Some offseason college football thoughts and observations. The post on Substack is mostly about the proposed 5-year eligibility rule.
Was having these thoughts anyway and figured I may as well write them down and share on Substack.

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- The Master List - good advice. No multitasking and write everything down.
- Was China's military just hacked? If true this is a huge blow to the CCP.
- History's Personally Revealing Anecdotes.
- Great Britain is a warning. Sadly true.

Today is the first day of the Masters. Know what I'll be watching starting at 1:00. Don't bet on the outcomes of golf matches because they are so unpredictable but do like watching (and playing). Enjoy!

JetBlue, Delta, United Airlines and others have all raised their checked bag fees due to the rise in fuel prices. These are the type of fees that don't come down - even when fuel prices come back to pre-war levels. Look for the fight for overhead space to get even more heated as people stuff even more into their carry-on bags. Airplanes just got even more cramped.

Interrogating Reality
There are many questions that occur to me and to others when looking at the "real" world. It is said that science can identify only 5% of the matter that makes up the universe. The rest have been given the names of dark energy or dark matter as if giving the unknown names made the issue solved or "settled science." It is also said that the more we know the more we learn how little we actually know. This is especially true of physics.
Have a new post up on Substack asking some of these questions. Afraid it may leave you with more things to wonder about than answers.

Congrats to Michigan for beating UConn for the National Championship last night. The game played out as I predicted with a close game at halftime and the Michigan pulled away in the second half. I also predicted I may go to bed before the game ended (Michigan was up 9 will a little time left) and I'd miss One Shinning Moment once again because of the late tipoff.

Monday Flotsam and Jetsam
Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.
Tonight's the national championship game between Michigan and UConn but the game does not tip off till an estimated 8:50 PM. The late start almost guarantees I won't see One Shining Moment and may mean I don't bother watching the end of the game. Being honest here - I care much more about getting a good nigh of sleep now than either one of these programs.
