Willie Nelson - Just Breathe

Just Breathe - Willie Nelson

Just learned that this cover existed today.

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Waiting for Nancy Pelosi to announce that the Democrats have a plan to fight the corona virus but that Congress will have to pass it first before she reveals whats in the plan... Virgin Galactic has received nearly 8,000 online reservations "of interest" showing that lots of people really want to go to space. However, how many of those will actually end up paying the reported cost of $250,000 for a seat in the six-passenger spacecraft? If just half of those who did the online reservation fully committed that's $1 billion in potential revenue...  Corona should just come out with a Hard Seltzer Hand Sanitizer to capitalize on the news... Interesting - a wearable privacy bracelet that "jams" smart speakers like Alexa and others from recording your conversations. Cool idea but to be honest the bracelet is ugly as fuck (but that could be worked on)... Anything worth doing does require years... "I am indeed rich, since my income is superior to my expenses, and my expense is equal to my wishes." - Edward Gibbon... Who knew? The iconic Patsy Cline song Crazy was written by Willie Nelson. Just found out that nugget yesterday...

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

- What did the Dalai Lama know and when did he know it? Thailand arrests senior monks in temple raids to clean up Buddhism.

- How a weakened ESPN became consumed by politics.

- Master Chief Britt Slabinski - Medal of Honor recipient. Where do we find such men?

- I see this and immediately wonder if the title of the piece is The Passion of the Willie.

- F-35 1 - Russian Defensive Systems 0 (but don't get cocky)

- Interesting - HGH as a treatment for stroke victims

- Local hero Stephen Mindich passes. WFNX was always the first station I'd turn to on my car radio.

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

The Mets got off to a hot start this spring but come September they'll be reduced to bringing Tim Tebow up to the majors to try and put fannies in the seats... Trump does right by Ukraine... If you think about it narwhals and rainbows are much more likely than unicorns and rainbows... I'm looking for an opportunity to use the phrase that thing/guy "is more polished than the admiral's buttons". Just because... Interesting interview of Don Nelson who's living the life in Hawaii. That life includes a lot of poker and pot smoking (Willing Nelson got him smoking). Well worth the read.. Heh heh... And it's "Ukraine" not "the Ukraine". You wouldn't say "the Canada" or "the Ireland". Common mistake...
