Ten Observations

 1.  If you come to walk 4,000 kilometers (Mexico, Central America, etc).....how do you arrive at the Texas border still with 40 pounds of excess 'fat'?  

Over a 2-month period....I would have lost fifty pounds.

2.  Science....isn't an absolute.  It evolves, changes, matures, and in some cases....gets dumped into a pit (better to be forgotten).

3.  When you reach a stage where shoplifting has destroyed your corner grocery or drug-store....what exactly do you expect the outcome to be?  We will wake up one day in SF to find only five drug stores left in the city....each guarded by armed military-style guards.

4.  At least once a week, I get this impression that Joe Biden doesn't grasp that he's President.  I'm guessing Jill has to keep reminding him of the actual job.

5.  It's easier to brainwash low-IQ people than high-IQ people.  So you might want to ensure college people are 'dim' as they graduate.

6.  How many Gaza Strips exist within the US (at least version 1.0...not the current Israel versus Gaza one of today)?  Looking over NYC, SF, Chicago, Portland, SF and the top forty urbanized zones?  Probably thirty or more?  

7.  Bud-Light says they will do a massive 'saga' commercial for the Super Bowl.  Does anyone really care?

8.  The US Marines now admit that they have a ship shortage, and it probably won't be resolved for a decade.  I hear that various cruise ship lines are having a customer shortage.....maybe we should introduce the Marines to the cruise ship folks, and hustle up some deal?

9.  Just odd how we hear the word  'cult' uttered every week now.  Back in the 1970s....it just came up when we talked about Scientology.  

10.  Just odd.....Republicans now say they will launch a joint probe into a Chinese-tied group funneling cash to US climate initiatives.
