Monday Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Everyone knows someone in this country that has died from fentanyl but Americans mostly remain silent but are loudly outraged about a death of someone in a Russian jail. But also somehow not outraged about an American journalist in a Ukrainian jail or Americans being held hostage in Israel by Hamas... One thing I can guarantee is that that Democrats win the 2024 Presidential election that Dollar Tree will have to change their name to Two Dollar Tree... Love this idea but wonder if golf clubhouses would be OK with outside food or drink... Not a Philadelphia Flyers fan but I love that all the players pulled up to the outdoor hockey game dressed as Rocky in his training outfit. All of them... Seriously think this could be a legitime business idea. In the Northeast at least open the business in the same plaza... Argentina's President Javier Milei presents the country with a balanced budget. The first in over a decade. American politicians hardest hit... He does make a good point... The NBA All-Star game used to be a big deal in my house but now I barely pay attention. Though I am saddened to miss Jalen Brown in the Dunk Contest... I may have inadvertently started living a similar lifestyle to Beethoven. But I'm not musically inclined and I’d have get up in the middle of the night on my list and I’d replace wine with beer too... For the record I did read the book The Dynasty but do not have Apple TV and have not seen the new series - though I've heard good things and want to... Maybe history does repeat itself…
