Dire Straits - Telegraph Road (Live)

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

So the MLB All-Star game happened last week and I did not watch a second of either the game or the home run derby the night before. Used to be the All-Sar game was a big deal. Used to be I cared not only about the game but the players who were chosen to play. Not any more... If I ran a company that made discount adult diapers I would make the product's tagline, "People can barely tell you're wearing them!"...  The fact that Dire Straits was once an opening act for Styx is as bothersome to me as the fact Bruce Springsteen was once an opener for Ann Murray... Speaking of the All-Star game - this story about 4-people arrested for having a stockpile of weapons and suspected of planning a mass shooting at the game certainly disappeared from the news. Guessing the suspects didn't "fit the narrative" is the reason for so little follow up... Ernest Hemingway's first book The Sun Also Rises was originally supposed to be called Fiesta and was actually published under that title in England... I've said it before but the growth of Tesla as a company is incredible when you factor in it was accomplished completely without any paid advertisement. None. Also remember that whenever you see an anti-Tesla or article bashing Elon Musk in a news outlet that depends on massive ad spending by the traditional car makers...
