Monday Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Heard the rumor that the Army may be training snipers at Fort Bennins Georgia for deployment to Ukraine, Not sure how reliable this info is but it does make you wonder. If Joe Biden could get away with blowing up the Nordstream pipeline why wouldn't he order this? And what ever happened to Code Pink?... Currently finishing The Wager and though I heartily recommend the book there's no way I would join the 17th century British Royal Navy. Guessing since I'm alive today that my ancestors didn't join either... One of the things I'm grateful for is that Skittles trademarked the saying "Taste the rainbow" long before Bud Light was able to try to commandeered the saying. At least we were spared that... Heh Heh… Wow - didn't see this coming: reportedly John Calipari is leaving Kentucky for Arkansas. The coach had a lifetime contract and a $33 million buyout but dissatisfaction had grown to the point where many Wildcat fans wanted him and his one national title gone. Careful what you may wish for... Funny that the most famous Hunter used to be Hunter Catfish. Now it's Hunter Biden... I guess I need to get my mind out of the gutter… Can't believe the National Championship game doesn't tip off until 9:20 tonight. Would be curious how much the 2nd half viewership drops off on the East Coast (besides Connecticut)... Seeing the Dallas mayor put out the welcome mat for the Kansas City Chiefs seemed like a political grandstanding move at first but then you remember that original owner Lamar Hunt first moved the team from Dallas to Kansas City at the request of the league, that a referendum for a new stadium was shot down by voters, and that current owner Clark Hunt still lives in the outskirts of Dallas and now you have to wonder how real this may be. Also what may at first may seem it may be a slap in the face of the Cowboys may actually be financially benefiting for Jerry Jones if the Chiefs relocate back to Dallas... I have never bothered to watch one second of "One Shining Moment" and am guessing tonight will be no different. The 9:20 tip probably helps with that... One of my regrets in life is that I passed on the opportunity to watch phenom Stephen Strasburg pitch at AAA Syracuse before he was brought up to the bigs by Washington. Now that he's reached a settlement with the Nationals - he's officially retired and I will never get the chance to watch him pitch...
