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

- Broncos head coach Sean Payton reportedly considered Bill Belichick a temporary takeover as head coach. A convoluted plan to get Belichick the 15 more wins he needs.

- Wall Street on SpaceX.

- Wait - a Chinese company owns Volvo but many Volvo cars are made in SC - so that's OK? I'm not looking at Volvo the same ever again.

- The US is failing its own NATO talking point.

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Much of Scandinavia's original wealth came from Viking raids where the capture and selling of slaves was the big money maker. So according to the rules as I now understand them that means that only racists drive Volvos - right?... Yikes - before Henry VII broke with the Vatican in the 16th century the penalty for eating meat on Friday during Lent in England was hanging... I wonder how many Red Sox fans can trace the signing of Pablo Sandoval as the point their interest in the team and trust in ownership started to dissolve. Maybe it was just coincidental?... They all knew... "Experience is not what happens to a man; it is what a man does with what happens to him." - Aldous Huxley... A decade ago a study from the University of Queensland found that of 187 mammals that had been listed as extinct - 67 were later rediscovered (36% of the whole). Turns out the science was not settled... When did the Democrats change their slogan to "My Party Right or Wrong?"...

- How can you not root for Tim Tebow? Coaches everywhere at every level should play this message to their kids.

- The TWA Hotel looks wicked cool

- I'm also rooting for Tim Dillard (but obviously for different reasons)

- Is it time to purchase a WiFi 6 router? For most people the answer is definitely no. If you do need to upgrade you may want to just do an 802.11ac router (aka WiFi 5) on which pricing should be coming down.

- Heh Heh

- Interesting - Volvo is now exporting cars to Europe from the US (from their plant in South Carolina)

- What a catch!

- The Mueller Investigation has truly turned into a farce. Charges against the Russians will be dropped and that will help Republicans in November and give AG Sessions the cover to end the Mueller Special Prosecutor's investigation completely. A farce!

- Love this! Not a soccer fan but definitely rooting for Iceland and Panama now. Meanwhile I can't root for England because of this extreme waste of beer! Wankers!

- Are bifacial (two sided) solar panels the next big thing?

- Got to love the Irish

- This is why the NFL can't have nice things. Let the man have M.D. on his jersey - he's earned it (unlike Roger Goodell and his salary).

- How have predictions about climate change held up over the last 30-years?

- Volvo will now be building cars on US soil in a $1.1 billion facility in South Carolina. How come we don't hear more about this in the news?

- Interesting - Trump's war on the regulatory state

- Good for her! I hope someone at the State Department is making sure she's protected.

- Just love aurora photos. This one is from Norway. Stunning!

- Space related industry to triple in size by 2040

- Volvo just acquired a flying car company. And equally surprising (to me) Volvo is now owned by a Chinese company?!?!

- Heh heh

- Every year I say I'm going to spend a week during the summer at Acadia National Forrest. This is the summer I make that happen!
