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

- Over 140 "new" Nazca Lines discovered in Peru

- Interesting look at how the American Bison shapes its environment

- Paint me like one of your French girls Jack

- Slate's list of the 50 best nonfiction books of the past 25-years. Love book lists but puzzled by this one. I've only read one book on this list (and I wouldn't recommend that book to another person)

- How NBA executive Jeff David stole $13 million from the Sacramento Kings. "David was earning a low-to-mid-six-figure salary. But he had a desire for more." Greed is an awful thing. 

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Was saddened by the sudden passing of Luke Perry. While many of his fans primarily think of him in roles on Beverley Hills 90210 or Riverdale - I may be alone in thinking of him as Linc Stark from John from Cincinnati (I never watched those other two shows)... Does Florida have an extradition treaty with any of the New England states? Asking for a friend... Actually like this idea a lot! Assuming the players have no eligibility left what's to stop the SEC Network from paying the players to participate? They aren't getting paid to attend the NFL combine... So President Trump accidentally called Tim Cook of Apple "Tim Apple" and Tim Cook reacts by changing his Twitter profile to this. Genius!... I was disappointed that the Patriots did not place the franchise tag on Trey Flowers but then I was reminded that Flowers and Bill Belichick have the same agent. So hope remains that some type of deal can be reached (though I'm not optimistic)... Technically this is true. Also technically true that combined the Sacramento Kings and Boston Celtics each have a first round draft pick in this year's NBA Draft (oh wait a minute)... "Knowledge if not digested does not give nutrition, only adds weight." - Osho...
