Sunday Flotsam and Jetsam
Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.
Currently finishing up David Halberstam's Breaks of the Game detailing the Portland Trailblazers 1977 season while about half way through re-reading Yeager the autobiography of Chuck Yeager. I hope to finish both books this week and then start on my annual reading of The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara about the Battle of Gettysburg.

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Dick Winters court martial paperwork (with his endorsement)

- Love the new Alex Trebek stamp

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and though I'd share,
- What the Petroleum Reserve is supposed to be for.
- FDA advisors vote against MDMA therapy - researchers still fighting for it. MDMA has scientifically shown to help veterans and others with PTSD while mRNA "shots" have shown problematic. Guess which one was approved?
- Really - where do we find such men

JAWS
The iconic movie JAWS was released 49-years ago. It was one of the first movies I saw in a theater (I was a young kid and it wasn't on its first run) and have seen it a number of times over the years plus some documentaries on how it was made. I fully expect it to be re-released next summer for a special 50th anniversary event.
I've read a number of Peter Benchley noels over the years but never JAWS, Think it was a conscious omission. Perhaps next year I'll rectify that.

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- The next characters to enter the public domain. Look for Disney to make a "special" re-release of the original Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in the next couple of years as a complete money grab before the copyright runs out.
- Conversation between Tucker Carlson and Glenn Greenwald. Very interesting but be warned it is over 2 hours long.
- Some of the lies the government told about Covid-19. People should be held accountable for this misinformation.
- The story behind the College World Series Jell-O-shot competition. If you were there what team would you choose?

Much of the contents of these posts are just random thoughts I may have during the day sparked by books I'm reading, a podcast I'm listening to or just things that happen.

Many follow my Large Regular account there but just a word of caution: I re-Tweet things because I may want to check them out later - not because I support what is being said, If that subject is behind a paywall - I close the tab but if I read and enjoy an article I'll share it or make a thought or comment on the subject, As always - please Subscribe, hit the Like button, or share the Link.
