Thursday Flotsam and Jetsam
Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.
President Trump gave a speech last night on TV saying the war in Iran is almost over. Trump estimated another 3 more weeks. I was amused seeing this estimate thinking the left and the media have 3-more years of this. What will they be complaining about in 3-years - that the US hasn't gotten to Mars yet and Trump promised Mars?

Wednesday Flotsam and Jetsam

KitKat says that the missing KitKats is not a PR stunt and they really want to find the missing shipment but doesn't feel like a PR stunt at this point? Other brands like Outback Steakhouse are openly joking about it and suddenly people are thinking and talking about KitKats. All just in time for Easter a time when chocolate goods like KitKat are traditionally consumed. Just saying.

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Kevin Kelly: Your security is my security. Understand the idea that a chain is only as strong as its weakest link but am uncomfortable with the idea of compelled Internet safety belts especially when regulations will be enforced by the equivalent of DMV.
- From the archives: Read old books.
Tuesday Flotsam and Jetsam

The Final Four has two great games on Saturday but I would not be surprised that both Michigan and Arizona beat each other up so much that the winner does not have much left to beat the winner of the Illinois and UConn game on Monday. I could be completely wrong about this though.

Monday Flotsam and Jetsam
Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.
The Celtics clinched a playoff birth with their win over Charlotte yesterday. Boston was expected to make the playoffs but the way they did it was surprising. A 50+ win season and with no Jalen Brown or Derrick White in the clincher? Jason Tatum scored 32 points in the victory. The same Jason Tatum that is coming back from a torn Achilles ankle. Hard not to be bullish on the Celts chances.

Today's offering is a little late as I slept in this morning. Stayed up last night reading and had the first Harry Potter on in the background for "white noise." Why I felt that was necessary I don't know but I was distracted from time to time when one of my favorite parts came on screen.

The March Madness Elite Eight field is set with the big upset last night of 6 seed Tennessee beating Iowa State 76-72. Amazed that this field will be pared to the Final Four by the end of Sunday. Amused by the folks who wonder why college football playoffs can't be more like March Madness. Have you ever tried to play a football game on just one day's rest? If you tried that in high school - parents and coaches would be arrested for child abuse.

A Modest Proposal on Taxes
Some satiric thoughts on taxation - or are they said in jest?
Wouldn't many people prefer paying lower or no taxes if it meant giving up the right to vote? Think the honest answer to that may surprise many.

Red Sox beat Cincinnati 3-0 yesterday with Garrett Crochet looking like a Cy Young candidate. Many road teams won yesterday and the tendency seems to be the home team wins the next game. Let's see if that holds true this season too.
