Thursday Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Retired NASCAR driver Kevin Harvick just purchased Ricky Bobby's mansion from Talladega Nights for $6.75 million. Good for him... Love that the College Football Enquirer podcast has renamed the Pac 12 as Tupac. Very fitting and I never miss an episode with Dan, Pat, and Ross... Never thought of this before but requiring a certain number of parking spaces for a bar doesn't make any sense. It just asking for the bar to overserve patrons who came in cars. Insane... Reminder of how good a guitarist Roy Clark was… Just wanted to say that being an American at this point of time remains the pinnacle of human experience. The average America enjoys a life better than the richest man in the world from any other time in history... When it comes to AI all I'll say is if Elon Musk or Marc Andreessen are for something - so am I. If Bill Gates is for something - I'm against it... Could it be as simple as Jimbo Clark being a great recruiter but a lousy head coach. May have just cost Texas A&M a lot of money to learn this… Would you be surprised if Dan Campbell was able to parlay his 7-2 start with the Lions and the open job at Texas A&M into a new contract? Me either... Marvin Harrison Jr. almost has to be very religious in order to get people to forget about his dad's off field problems. I for one am rooting for Harrison Jr. (not his fault his dad was a Colt)... Now this thought is going to haunt me… Am I the only one who can keep Jean Valjean and Jean Van de Velde straight in my head? Know one of them blew a British Open… The advice to never give an excuse you would not accept yourself is solid advice. It would be good for entire companies to adopt this. Even better - never give an excuse. Always take responsibility…
