Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

The 2021 net migration rate for Iraq is 0.359 per 1,000 population. That means net more people are moving into Iraq than into California or New York. Think about that for a minute... What will history recognize as the worse fashion fad? Pussy Hats or bell-bottom corduroy's?... Seems unfair that people remember Wally Pipp as the man who was replaced by Lou Gehrig but hardly anyone remembers Babe Dahlgren. He was the man who replaced Lou Gehrig... Salt (NaCl) is the only family of rocks eaten by humans... There were a lot of happy New England Patriots fans last night as Bill Belichick selected Alabama QB Mac Jones with the 15th pick. Belichick wasted no time submitting the pick either an indication they were really happy that the QB dropped to them. I hope the second-guessers at least give us a day to enjoy the pick... Would love to see a reporter ask a confused Joe Biden if he owns a pussy hat. How do you think Kamala Harris would react to such a question? Please someone make this happen...  

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Monday was the first Memorial Day without baseball since 1880. World War I, the Spanish Flu, and World War II couldn't stop the tradition but the Wuhan Virus managed the feat... "We are often more frightened than hurt; and we suffer more from imagination than from reality." - Seneca. Always makes me think of the Dune quote, "Fear is the mind-killer." Seems like a couple of apt quotes these days... Hooray! The NHL has announced its return! There will be a 24-team playoff this summer... After the Wuhan Virus say goodbye to blowing on the dice or having someone blow on your dice in Vegas or at any casino while playing craps. In fact also so goodbye to crowding around the table of a hot shooter. Craps will be a completely different game from now on (though I hope someday it will return to how God intended)... Salt (NaCl) is the only family of rocks eaten by humans... Wuhan Virus confession - I was really taking my gym for granted. I miss my gym...
