Memorial Day Flotsam and Jetsam
Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.
Surprised that some on the internet haven't tried to make a Meme-orial Day celebration of old memes happen. Guessing they were smart enough to realize how tasteless that would be toward the memory of the fallen that stopped them.

Things I Learned
Try to learn something new every day. Here are some of the things I've learned (or re-learned) and try to take to heart. Even if you take just one or a few of these items to heart you could lead a better life.
Hope some of these are new to you or at least you can find one you feel is important to know, remember, and embody.

Saturday Flotsam and Jetsam
Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.
If college football is heading for a divorce and a have super league and have nots - why not divvy it up now? The Power 4 conferences get the 12-team playoffs and no NIL caps and the rest get the CSC, a $20 million athletics budget, and the bowl games? This division actual works if you think about it.

College Football Thoughts
Some college football offseason thoughts and observations. Step one: expand playoff field to 24 teams; step 2 - ???; step three - profit. The underwear gnomes had better coordination.
Was having these observations anyway and thought may as well jot them down and post on Substack.

Sorry if my absence because if the power outage the past couple of days may have caused some to worry about my health. I do have a history and also admit to having similar worries when others disappear for a length of time. Sorry to cause any anxiety but I do appreciate the concern.

Power Restored Flotsam and Jetsam
Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.
It was hot Tuesday and that night we had a thunderstorm. There was a loud "boom" and the power went out around 5:30 PM. Electricity wasn't restored until yesterday around 7:00 PM but the Internet not until today around 1:45 PM. Found myself doing yardwork and reading to pass the time plus cooking on the grill. The problem(s) were on the pole line in the forest behind our homes and stayed in with the dog because she'd would be barking at the men in the bright yellow shirts when ever they came near the fence line.
