Linky Links

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

-Retired couple spends almost 500 days at sea doing 51 cruises because it was cheaper than a retirement home. 

- Interesting video from podcaster Allison Morrow. Hope she sues the State of Washington for everything she can.

- England set to ban cell phones in schools. Wonder if this will also decrease the overall grade point average as cheating is made harder or increases homeschooling as option as it is made more attractive to students.

- Russ Francis has passed away aged 70. Very sad news.

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

- 100 Tips for a Better Life. This is a couple years old but many suggestions are new to me. (HT Tim Ferriss)

- The Daily Coach on Josh Harris taking over the Washington NFL franchise.

- Jonathan Turley on how the Democrats have embraced censorship and tyranny. This may prove their downfall.

- Is ESPN considering a Jeff Saturday return?

Dan Snyder and Washington

The Washington Football Team has new owners and hopefully soon a new name.

Everyone involved, even Dan Snyder with his $6 billion payday, are happy with the results. Probably none more so than Jon Gruden.

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Why is it that the people who consider themselves the most ardent "environmentalists" seem to also have the most political signs on their lawns? Don't they see see the irony?... Heh Heh...  Why do people call cocaine "blow"? Shouldn't it be called "snort"? Blow is literally the opposite of how the drug is consumed (Stevie Nicks being the exception that proves the rule)... This is why Elon Musk is awesome... The name the Washington Football Team is growing on me to the point that I think the Washington Bullets Wizards and Washington Senators Nationals should also change their names to the Washington Basketball Team and Washington Baseball Team. The Capitals can stay with their same name... Just saying but when individually Jack Nicklaus and Bobby Orr endorsed Donald Trump many sportswriters were quick to bemoan that their heroes couldn't keep silent for just a few more days but when frequent ESPN contributor and well-known rapper Lil' Wayne made the same endorsement - the predominantly white sportswriter found themselves oddly silent. They won't see the irony either...
