Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Congratulations to the Astros for making it to the World Series. And as a Red Sox fan I'd like to remind Yankees fans that Boston won the World Series last year... Glad to see the NBA not doing anything to prevent people from wearing Stand with Hong Kong t-shirts at their games. Let's hope these protests don't peter out... I've made this observations before but I see more Tulsi Gabbard signs when driving in New Hampshire than any other Democrat candidate. I fully expect her to finish in the top 3 in the NH primary... This is a good explanation for the basis for the hate Hillary Clinton seems to feel for Tulsi. A feeling I think is mutual...  The Athletic has become the daily sports fix I used to get from the Boston Globe Sports section decades ago. I didn't mind paying for the Globe all those years ago and I don't mind paying for The Athletic now...  Deep sea explorers have found the wreck of the Japanese carrier Kaga which was sunk during the Battle of Midway. Coincidentally there's a big Hollywood movie on Midway coming out next month. Midway was one of the most important battles in US history. Perhaps the best book on the battle is Shattered Sword which I recommend with the caveat that it is pretty dry and detailed history at times... This is so cool. I hope the people tip this busker to the max when they see him... "Hillary Clinton" a Haiku..

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

One of my favorite things to do on a Monday is to tell people "Have a good weekend." Their confusion is my happiness and my happiness is greatly enhanced if they reply "You too"... This week will mark the 75th anniversary of D-Day but this week also marks the 77th anniversary of the Battle of Midway. One of the most important battles in US history... Aggravated Groin Injury would be a good name for a band... Got an email promising "Results so good you'll need to new underwear." I assume this was some sort of penis enlargement deal but there's also a chance it could have been something so good that I'd somehow shit my pants. We'll never know because I sent it right into the trash without opening it... The first commercial of the Trump/Pence 2020 campaign. Nothing stands in their way!... When you think of it the phrase "fed up" makes little sense. "I'm fed up with this job!" Are you saying you couldn't handle another bite of work? What if it was wafer thin?... Happy birthday to Patriots owner Robert Kraft...
