Friday Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Just throwing this out there but if you support body cameras on cops how would you feel as a parent about body cameras on teachers? Would never happen because of teachers unions but maybe ask for the body cameras first to negotiate for the cameras in the classrooms which I think should be standard at this point... Can't stop laughing at this guy... Have long believed that anyone running for Congress or the Senate should have to first take and pass the citizenship test immigrants have to pass in order to become naturalized residents of the US before being put on a ballot. Now I’ve also come to believe that in addition to a Civil Service exam anyone wishing to work for the federal government should also have to pass that same Citizenship test... Can't believe The Simpsons is still on TV. At what point do they call it a day? Does anyone still watch the show?... The speed of light is 299,792,458 meters per second. The exact latitude of the Great Pyramid of Giza is 29,9792458 degrees North. Some place great cosmological significance on this - perhaps some sort of message from an ancient race of aliens. I say it's just a coincidence. The meter wasn't adopted until 1795 and the speed of light in miles is 186,282.397 per second. What could we find at that latitude?... Amity's Mayor was named Pete too - right?...Who knew? Columbus' crews of the Nina, Pinta, and Santa Maria who sailed the ocean blue in 1492 weren't paid until 1513... Two of the most hated words in New England for anyone who has to commute are "wintery mix." If you know - you know. If you don't consider yourself lucky... This guy makes an excellent point... Do you know who Elaine Chao is? Perhaps you recognize the name but can't quite place why. Perhaps you know the name because she was the first Asian American woman to serve in a presidential cabinet. I'd be surprised if you knew she was the Transportation Secretary under President Trump. Now Pete Buttigieg - you know his name right? Understand the difference?... As always, if anything made you think or smile, please Subscribe (it's FREE), hit the Like button, or share with others. Thanks for your support...
