Saturday Flotsam and Jetsam
Miscellaneous thoughts and observation.
Maybe a better question instead of why do NBA players make so much more than WNBA players would be why do pro golfers make so much more than LPGA players? Perhaps it has something do do with the fact that good golfers tee up the ball further back than regular golfers while there's also the women's tees much closer to the hole? Women are welcome to play in golf tourneys if they qualified... The 2024 election has the potential to be a Birmingham jail type moment for he Republican Party... Analysis true!… File under "I forgot this" but Lawrence Taylor went 2nd in the 1981 draft to the Giants. Running back George Rodgers was picked first overall by the Saints. Can you imagine how NFL history may have been different if that order was reversed?... Sorry but if you're one of the estimated 750,000 people making over $312,000 per year that still had student loans outstanding you were either a political operative, taking advantage of low interest rates, or really bad financially. Either way you didn't deserve a gift from the government at the expense of others... Analysis true!… One of the surest ways to lose weight is to know the difference between eating because you're hungry, stressed or simply bored and teach yourself only to eat good food, real food when you're hungry... Question that will keep me up at night: when something says "2X Fragrance" do they mean the scent is twice as strong or that the can has twice as much? Not a smell guy so I truly don't know... Think Plot Constipation would be a good name for a blog or Substack account about poorly written books, movies or TV shows... One of my favorite insults was W. Somerset Maugham saying, "Is there anything said here that could not be said better with a simple after-dinner belch?" Love it!... Learn something new every day - one of the lesser known nicknames for Nebraska is Ak-Sar-Ben which is simply Nebraska spelled backwards. Imagine this nickname became much less popular after 9-11...
