Four Humble Observations

 1.  The basic toilet story from this Artemis II situation....the toilet engineer (a guy who probably holds a master's degree in toilet-design)....didn't calculate to the extreme how cold space gets, and that crap lodged in the pipe....freezes easily....blocking the exit of crap.

All of this leads me to wonder....how you deal with human waste on a 200-day voyage to Mars.

2.  This rescue of the downed weapons officer in Iran....probably will be made into a 5-star movie....starring Tom Cruise.

I sat and pondered over the final five to six hours that he waited for rescue.  If you look at the situation that developed....roughly 2,000 Iranians approached, and US Army choppers laid down gunfire. Somewhere between 1,000 and 1,500 were dead in the end.  Number of dead from the American side?  Zero.

3.  This Guthrie case in Tucson....I think the old lady walked out on her own. Where she went or who helped to pick her up....anyone's guess.

4.  Fetterman (Senator, Dem, Penn).....switching parties....to run as a Republican?  Rumor has it.
