- NASA's Voyager 2 probe enters interstellar space. The second NASA probe to do this but still a tremendous accomplishment that should have garnered more attention than it did.

-  101-year old WWII vet credits his longevity to having a Coors Light every day. Coors hears of this and does the right thing.

- I was in Miami watching the Army/Navy game but this pre-game benediction brought tears to my eyes. Where do we find such men?

- Screw Nike. BTW - Nike's stock price is down about $7 since they announced the Kaepernick ad campaign.

- Godspeed former President George H.W. Bush from his Secret Service detail. Interesting - did not know his Secret Service code name was Timberwolf.

- Actor Philip Bosco has passed at age 88. I agree with Alan Sepinwall - my favorite role of his was as the bus driver (or "blufftony" driver if you like) in the movie Quick Change.

- Another story that was grossly under-reported was President Trump's progress in world trade at the recent G-20 meeting in Argentina.

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

People who say Sony Michel isn't an adequate replacement for Dion Lewis on the Patriots are right. But Lewis wasn't supposed to be the replacement for Lewis. Rex Burkhead and James White were supposed to replace Lewis' snaps and production... Meth is a hell of a drug... If you told me a decade ago that Bill Cosby would be going to jail - I would have bet anything it would have been for being the New Coke spokesman... Wait President Trump signed a new free trade agreement with South Korea? Shouldn't this be bigger news?... People seem to forget that it took Dion Lewis 5 seasons to get where he is in the NFL. In Lewis' first 2 seasons he had just 192 yards combined in rushing and receiving yards. Sony Michel, if he stays healthy, will be more productive than that... Douglas Adams on our reactions to technology over time... Someone should let it slip that Mother Theresa was a Republican just to see what the Left would do to her reputation...
