Flotsam and Jetsam

 Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Remember all those dire predictions about if England voted for Brexit? Yeah - whatever happened to those predictions?... Wonder if the military bases in San Diego can utilize the power from one of the nuclear powered aircraft carriers in port to keep their grid up and AC on during the blackouts. Would be great advertisement for nuclear power if they could... Pearl Kendrick and Grace Eldering almost single handedly eliminated whooping cough (which was the major killer in the day) yet they are hardly remembered by history... The original name for Penicillin was Mold Juice. Too bad that didn't catch on. It would also make for a great name for band of microbiologists... Minced Kidneys of Monkeys would also be a good name for a science band... I would give $1,000 to any journalist who asks and gets Joe Biden to answer the question, "Now that Tesla has shown that electric cars can compete against internal combustion engines isn't it time for America to also give steam powered engines another look see?"...
