Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.

- Heh Heh - it's funny because it's true

- Philadelphia's electric bus fleet in complete shambles. Wasn't Philadelphia also the city that had a recycling program that didn't have enough money for the actual recycling so they just tossed the recycled products in with the rest of the trash?

- Matt Ridley: "Virulent does not mean "Infectious."

- The flooding in Europe is tragic - but it is not historically bad. Those who would use the floods to further a climate change agenda or worse fund-raise are ghouls and should be publicly shamed.

- Huge data leak shatters the lie that the innocent need not fear surveillance. We are at the point where you must assume nothing you say or do in front of a "smart" device is private. Even our TV's can spy on us now.

- Boom! Trump's US Attorney in Philadelphia goes right after Philly DA over the shooting of 6 police officers. Good for him

- Cool NASA visualization of a black hole "eating" a sun

- And speaking of the sun - here's why the sun appears red at sunset. (Yeah I still don't understand why the sun appears red at sunset)

- The world's first "solar road" is an absolute disaster.

- Mike Leach is the best!

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Went to a cigar bar last night for a post meal smoke and to watch some football. After just a few minutes I heard them playing Dick in a Box over the speakers. Even at a cigar bar you can't get away from the Christmas music...  Clinton Foundation "donations" down 90%. On positive note - at least this makes it easier for authorities to identify the 10% who are using the Clinton Foundation to launder money... Thanksgiving in Philadelphia... "Out of clutter, find simplicity. From discord, find harmony. In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity." - Albert Einstein... Heh Heh... Free business idea: T-shirts that say "Got Fists?" on the front with an NHL team's logo. On the back a picture of that team's best fighter with the gloves dropped... How long can people live?...
