Many a truth is said in jest.
- Heh Heh
- Sadly true.

Friday Flotsam and Jetsam
Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.
To get this out of the way - yes I did watch the Bears beat the Pats 30-24. I held out hope until about 1:30 left in the game when Chicago went up by 9 points. One team had to lose and last night was New England's turn.

Thursday Flotsam and Jetsam
Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.
The Patriots play the Bears tonight on Thursday Night Football. Make sure you get your fantasy football lineups in - it would be a shame to leave either Drake Maye or Caleb Williams on the bench. Oh and make sure you have plenty of beer for the game (note to self).

Some college football observations as we deal with a shaken up top 10.

Wednesday Flotsam and Jetsam
Have new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.
Today is Wednesday - Woodin's day (aka Odin). This always makes me think of the bumper sticker "Odin promised he would get rid of the Ice Giants. Well where are the Ice Giants now? Vote Odin." Hard to argue with that logic.

Tuesday Flotsam and Jetsam
Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.
Today's offering seems mainly NFL related and I did not even mention last night's 23-17 win by San Fran over Washington. Was this head coach Dan Quinn's last game with the Commanders before getting fired for Jayden Daniels' brain farts? Curious minds want to know.

Monday Flotsam and Jetsam
Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.
With Paris and France on fire, rampant looting and general chaos going on - would you be surprised if the State Department issued a travel advisory telling Americans not to travel to France? In a way it would also be amusing to see France try to invoke NATO Article 5: "Help us from our immigration problem and send us your NFL teams."

Sunday Flotsam and Jetsam
Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.
Yesterday truly was a historic day in college football with 5 top 7 teams losing causing chaos. Meanwhile today is an NFL day with the London game starting at 9:30. It's too cold out to do yardwork anyway.

Some Memes You May Enjoy
Hitch 22
"I would never have guessed at the time that conscription would be abolished by Richard Nixon, and still less that he would appoint Milton Friedman and Alan Greenspan to the Presidential Commission on the subject. The two right-wing libertarians condemned the draft as 'involuntary servitude.' Today, almost the only people who call for the return of the system are collectivists and liberals."
This was from the 2010 edition but it remains so very true today. Either saying there should be a return of the draft or that Republicans will do it so "vote for me" seem to be the province exclusively of the Democrats.

Saturday Flotsam and Jetsam
Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.
Didn't bother with any anonymous sourced reports about Suzie Wiles or the rantings of anti-Semite Roger Waters because life is too short. Especially when the weekend's here and there's football games to watch - even a London game tomorrow morning.
