Thursday Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Reminder that the modern diving bell, still in use today, was invented by Edmund Halley. The same man who discovered Halley's Comet and was both a friend of Isaac Newton and member of the famed Royal Society... Best Western Hotels has reached a deal with Tesla to install 2,000 EV charging stations at North American hotels. Good move by Best Western as they are often overlooked by many travelers as not being "modern"... Ervard Munch was born 160-years ago this week. Even since I saw mentioned on the Internet that his painting The Scream may have been an attempt by him to paint a dog but when people got it wrong he just went with it - now I can’t unsee the dog... Reminder that Donald Trump’s adult sons were all forced to sit for Congressional depositions. Hunter Biden is not… Funny because it could be true!… Reportedly the NBA has indefinitely suspended Golden States’ Draymond Green. About time! Still don’t think he’ll learn any lesson from this. Will probably even have a podcast about how he’s innocent and a victim… Funny how Neil deGrasse Tyson seemed to abandon scientific facts for woke ideology the minute sexual allegations were launched at him. That’s also when I lost all respect for the man… Russ Roberts with some economic truth. The problem is that monopolies or a lack of competition don’t lead to lower prices either… Let me just get ahead of the curve and say Hunter Biden did not kill himself before testifying to the corruption in DC… Everyone knows that even just a little daily exercise is beneficial yet so many don’t take action and just do it. I’m as guilty as the next person and know there’s no reason to wait until January 1st to start…
