Three Things

 1.  I sat and was reading a news piece by KOMO (TV station out of Seattle).  There was a parking argument in town....where things got out of control, and one guy pulls a pistol to shoot a second guy.  So in describing this....KOMO notes that a "juvenile man" was the guy shot.

Normally, the minute you say juvenile....it's a kid or teenager.   So the term man going with juvenile?  Well...it doesn't make sense unless he was in Seattle.  

2.  People who have had Covid....say that even three years later....they still have some symptoms and have never gotten 100-percent well.  The number?  Well....it's close to 50-percent.  

A big deal?  If you were a roofer or construction worker?  Yeah.  But the story begs questions and why aren't the PhD doctors not really curious about why?

Just mentally thinking this?  Well.....you just don't know.

3.  I'm getting to a point where I think if you utter the word 'decade' and ask some gal/guy to define it....more than half would probably say it means a thousand years. I'm not saying people are stupid....it's just that they have lost a sense of reality. 

Three Things

 1.  About every week now, I read off five or six new VIP-folks who say if Trump wins in 2024....they will leave the US.

My question (figuring at least 100,000 Americans have made the 'threat')....where exactly are you moving to?

Canada?  After one single harsh winter....the majority would be all freaked out.

Some Caribbean isle?  After one hurricane....the majority would be all freaked out.

Columbia?  Between crime and infrastructure limits....the majority probably would leave after a year.

Australia?  They have that serious snake issue.

Japan?  They have serious rules about entry, and don't allow drug use.

UK?  Maybe.

This discussion is a bit silly because they depend on Trump winning, and some easy entry access....which in most cases....doesn't exist. 

2.  Watching a CNBC business piece.....one out of three American millionaires now consider themselves middle-class. 

Yeah.....two guys sitting at a bar.....one making $35,000 a year selling tires, and the other making $1.5-million a year running a sports bar....both having the same status....if you buy into this reality.

3.  If you attempt to divide something by zero.....you are wasting valuable time in a math calculation that can have no reasonable outcome.  So, when some idiot comes up and says we need to discuss 'math' and have a formula for dividing by ZERO....just knock the idiot in the head.
