My Don Problem

 I just have to admit it...the minute that a Don Lemon podcast/interview comes up....part of me wants to give him 2 minutes to say something stupid, and part of me wants to mute it ASAP.

It usually takes Don somewhere between 2 and 4 minutes....to say something remarkable, and STUPID.   It's the stuff you'd say after half-a-case of PBR, or having smoked a joint (or two).

Part of me wants to believe that Don came out of high school this way......with college mostly developing the stupid-side....as a 'skill' or talent...which CNN needed badly.

Once CNN let him go....it was difficult for them to show or reach this level of remarkable simplemindedness or gullible nature.

As for me  conditioning myself to take in more  minutes of Don?  Well...it's not easy....as I age...I have less patience for stupid people.

Tanning Beds: Not That I Really Care

I came to this odd story this AM....where a guy had bought into a tanning bed operation, and in the change-over....came to realize that there were age restrictions in the state.

So I asked Grok/AI to study this....forty-four states (with DC) have a age 18 restriction on indoor tanning beds (also known as sunbeds or solariums).

Chief reason?  To protect minors from increased skin cancer risks. 

The six states without restrictions? Alaska, Colorado, Connecticut, Iowa, Montana, and New Mexico.

So after pondering this....I came to this remarkable reality....oddly, no state has a restriction on 10-year or 12-year old kid....being out-of-doors 16 hours a day in the summer.

You could aim to get 1,000 times the amount of sunlight that you should limit yourself.
