Wednesday Flotsam and Jetsam
Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
Damn inconsiderate of the Iranian President to die after most Ivy League schools have had their commencement and deny them the chance to honor him... That Red Lobster filed for bankruptcy is not a surprise. That the company is based out of Orlando is... Is there someplace I can bet that Joe Biden drops out of the Presidential race or at least cancels the his appearance at the first debate with Donald Trump? There's no way he's in any shape to take a stage and answer real questions... If Caitlin Clark was arrested in Russia - would that improve her standing in the WNBA?… Who knew? The reason Han Solo was frozen in carbonite in Return of the Empire is because Harrison Ford didn't want to play the role again. Years later he obviously changed his mind... Some eyebrows have been raised by Drake Maye taking third team snaps in first team OTA for the Patriots. I am not surprised by this as sometimes you can learn a lot just by watching plus Bailey Zappe getting reps could raise his trade stock as nobody would want to trade for him unless they actually have tape of him... I know how I read it… Elon Musk has said that SpaceX handles about 90% of the world space payloads now and that number could grow to as much as 99% once Starship is operational. He also said he welcomes competition, the more the merrier, and the quicker mankind gets to having a moon base or moving to Mars. This is both a backhanded compliment to his competitors and a subtle advertisement for a SpaceX’s upcoming IPO… Want to do an exercise this summer where I re-read Ernest Hemingway's Old Man and the Sea with a red marker in hand and every time I find a word that isn't necessary or repeated I'd highlight it. If I do find a repeated word guessing Hemingway may have wanted to draw attention to a particular thing. Guessing there won't be any red marks... Klaus Schwab announces that he will be stepping down as leader of the WEF. Let me get ahead of the game and state that Klaus Schwab did not hang himself…
