Ten Things

 1.  I think the situation in school shooting at Uvalde, TX....was so chaotic....that the normal leadership (within the police department) could not function.  So they sat and waited, and waited, and waited.  You can shake your head, but there are moments like this in life where you just need a leader to stand up....view the mess, and guide you through some harsh reality.

2. SF school district (California) has made the decision that the term 'chief' in a job description cannot be used.  They having meetings (plural) to find a word to replace 'chief'.  I suspect after a month of discussion....they will discover that among the 250-odd English words that could be potentially used.....all of them have negative aspects as well.  Eventually,  they will settle on the word 'skipper' (because of Gilligan Island fame) and say that the dozen-odd people affected will all be skippers in the future.

3.  There are occasions now that I tend to notice people who think they are intellectuals.....suggesting it's beneath them to speak in some way so that non-intellectuals can understand them.  So they carry on for a while with jabber-talk, which makes marginal sense....while people hit the mute button when realizing the guy makes no sense.

4.  New data indicates that around a quarter of people who 'were' going to retire in 2022.....have now decided things are too expensive, and are going to wait a year, or two, or three, or four.

5.  New study shows that up around 42,777 alien civilizations possibly exist and will make contact with us within the next 2,000 years.  Should we worry about this?  

6.  On gun control regulations, Chicago ranks number one in the nation.  Is there any evidence that the regulations have been effective?

7.  Whole lot of chatter yesterday about President finally concluding that inflation is like some '200-lb piece of elephant crap on your front lawn'.  Now?  Well....lot of chatter about taxing companies more....to hand out more 'cash gifts' to the general public.  

8.  Theater managers now talking about a pop-corn shortage.  Probably a dozen Air Force cargo planes on standby.....to find pop-corn in the world and rush it to America.

9.  Around 21 black Biden-administration staff members have left, or will be leaving shortly. Commentary leads to 'promotion-potential' and general frustrations.  I suspect they all walked in on day one believing in a bunch of BS, and woke up six months later to reality.  You need not worry.....another 21 black folks are being likely lined up for replacing this crew.   

10.  Study concludes on 'long-Covid' situation....that depression and anxiety played key-roles if you felt you had long-Covid.  If you were prone to the two issues....you had a higher chance of long-Covid.  Shocking some folks?  Oh, I'd suggest that various additional studies will be done and other viruses/health issues.....will lead back to the same two problems.
