Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

The 2021 net migration rate for Iraq is 0.359 per 1,000 population. That means net more people are moving into Iraq than into California or New York. Think about that for a minute... What will history recognize as the worse fashion fad? Pussy Hats or bell-bottom corduroy's?... Seems unfair that people remember Wally Pipp as the man who was replaced by Lou Gehrig but hardly anyone remembers Babe Dahlgren. He was the man who replaced Lou Gehrig... Salt (NaCl) is the only family of rocks eaten by humans... There were a lot of happy New England Patriots fans last night as Bill Belichick selected Alabama QB Mac Jones with the 15th pick. Belichick wasted no time submitting the pick either an indication they were really happy that the QB dropped to them. I hope the second-guessers at least give us a day to enjoy the pick... Would love to see a reporter ask a confused Joe Biden if he owns a pussy hat. How do you think Kamala Harris would react to such a question? Please someone make this happen...

  1. I had several pairs of corduroy bell bottoms in college and they were quite popular. I think I had a pair of platform shoes, too. That and a flowery shirt made quite a fashion statement. I am not sure what the statement was, but it was fun.

  2. Not only did I have corduroy pants, I had a corduroy jacket, a powder blue Wrangler one. At one point I had a pair of tan corduroy overalls. They were for dress occasions.

  3. You guys probably miss the "vrrtt, vrrtt, vrrtt, vrrtt" sound the corduroys made when you walked.
