Thursday Flotsam and Jetsam
Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
Really don't care what Robert de Niro, or any Hollywood "star" has to say about any issue. Refuse to read any articles about what he had to say. Don't care - nor should you... Strange thought: I wonder how much retired pitcher David Wells weights these days. Has to be north of 300 pounds - right?... Great Bill Walton story... Because of the loss of Bill Walton the next book I'll read will be David Halberstam's great The Breaks of the Game. Hard to believe both the author and the subject are no longer with us... Gaza is roughly 5 miles across and you could easily walk its entire width in less than 2 hours. The total area of Gaza is about the size of a marathon route. Imagine how ridiculous it would be to have college campuses protesting the London Marathon... No surprise that the movie Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is tanking at the box office. People just don't seem to be too interested in seeing it (know I'm not). Maybe Chris Hemsworth is box office poison?... Admit that I was always confused by the term "Charter" schools because my cable provider was Charter (now Spectrum). I was like, "Is the cable company competing against the school system?"... Silly Dad jokes... Not sure who looks worse in this situation that the Biden re-election campaign failed to follow the law even after it was pointed out to them months ago or the State of Ohio for possibly keeping a sitting President from being on the ballot in November because it cannot bend the law. Naturally feel that there shouldn't be two sets of laws and think it says tons about the ineptitude of the Biden campaign that they may be the first sitting President that may not be on the Presidential ballot of all 50 states... Learn something new every day: F1 racing star Lewis Hamilton was supposed to be in the movie Top Gun: Maverick as a fighter pilot but couldn't do it because of prior commitments...
