Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

If President Trump really wanted to prank Dr. Ford and make the Left go crazy - he should put her on the Federal "No-Fly" list and say it was for her own good (because of supposed fear of flying)... One of my deepest fears is of fire-breathing koalas. Wheh! Feels great to get that off my chest. Now let the healing begin... Interesting opinion that Jeff Bezos' decision to raise the minimum wage at Amazon to $15 per hour is basically a Machiavellian maneuver. Got to say that I agree...   "Eternity is a mere moment, just long enough for a joke." Hermann Hesse... Gratitude is a superpower. From Tim Ferris' Tribe of Mentors... When you think about it it's pretty amazing that a full-blown cult of George Washington never really came to be in the early US. I wonder what the country would look like today if one did develop... Interesting look back on the top 11 free-agent signings (by contract dollar amount) of last offseason. JD Martinez was by far the best signing but I have to wonder if the Cubs would still be playing if Yu Darvish remained healthy this season...
