Three Things

 1.  When some idiot says their friend flipped 360 degrees.....it literally means they are back  to where they started.  You need to utter 180 degrees, or else just keep your mouth shut.

2.  I sat and watched some video clip of Harris doing a Mexican forum talk.....with people asking questions, and she'd respond.

At some point....I noted as the camera moved around the room....Harris was getting verbal comments from the monitor in front of her....so it wasn't really her responding....it was a 2nd person talking via  Harris.  

3.  Presently, I'm counting 6 accents by Harris.  Amazing....all these years and just one single accent, then suddenly she bumps her head and gets 5 more.

Argentine Story

 I read a 20-line piece from Argentina this AM.  Odd order given by the government there.

They've identified 40,000 government official jobs....which require a aptitude-test.  If you pass...you are offered a contract for your current job.  If you fail?  No  contract  for your current job.  'Up-or-out'...would be my description.

If you count all gov't employees in the country....local, state, federal....they have around 2.7-million people....so I imagine that the 40,000 are mostly 'bosses' or supervisors/chiefs.

Any guesses to pass/fail rate?   Not really.  I would imagine  that if you were 30 years out of school or university....the odds might be against you passing....meaning that your score will be less than 60-percent. 

If 10,000 fail?  Well....they get sent to the civilian sector and probably a pay-cut.  Then you go and offer a temp promotion to some folks into the chief's positions.....then you test them.  Eventually, you might weed-out 100,000 employees out of the gov't sector.

Fixing Climate Change

 I sat and pondered over this story.  After a while, I felt guilty.  

I've taken a few breaths over the years.  On some occasions while working out or jogging in  my youth....I probably  took an excessive number of breaths.

What we can all do?  I'd  suggest that on every 5th minute....we hold it for 30 seconds, then exhale.
