Love the Friday Night Lights reference. It’s a shame that show never got the recognition it deserved.

Agree and I could have put in a caveat that the administration could cause a disaster long before any lack of regulation does.

I noticed that it was focused almost entirely on communication and somehow missed the Internet and the WWW.

Love those stories. It was said that 99% of the people who worked at Oak Ridge had no clue what they were working on. They just knew that the trains came in with supplies but never left with anything.

On TV, I grew up thinking that TV didn’t show up until the late ‘40s or very early ‘50s. Part of it was because my grandparents were poor farmers and didn’t get TV until at least the mid ‘50s. It was only later that I realized why I didn’t know about TV in the ‘30s and ‘40s. For the most part...

I have always been curious about what it was like for a person who grew up in the 19th century then experienced the rapid changes that occurred during the early and mid 20th century. But on the other hand the rise of the Internet taught me exactly what it would have been like. It starts slowly...

I watched The Big Short for the second time this week. It is such a good movie with so many emotional ups and downs even though everyone knows the ending. But that got me to thinking that this administration is not going to regulate anything unless it is something that they can use to punish a...

You picked a hell of a day to bottom fish.

Trump is a narcissist who is drunk on power. The 10% swings he caused by raising/lowering tariffs is like crack for someone with Trump’s pathology. That is why I think the seesaw is not over. Trump can’t give up that power. And the longer this goes on the more damage it will do. He will...

A new twist on buy two get one

Drove by yesterday and noticed it was gone. Anyone know what they are building there? Holding out hope that the developer has plans to put it back together and feature it. I mean that would IMO be a cool architectural feature and elevate both the mural and the project in a kind of old/new way.

So was the morning tweet about it being a good time to buy not related to the plan to pause the tariffs? Also there were leaks the day before that there was going to be a pause. I have suspicions about the supposed timing here. Sounds like a story to evade insider trading accusations.

Back 23 years ago I would run at about a 6.5 mile pace. I was going through a lot and found it relaxing and a good time to think through things. After a couple of years doing that I started pushing myself a lot harder. Rather than being relaxing I was competing with myself. I have this weird...

I lift twice a week. I rotate between push, pull, and legs. (I also get legs on pull when I do deadlifts.) I run twice a week on the treadmill. Do five miles in 40 minutes each time. Add in another mile total in warmup and cooldown. Seems to work for me but like heelsandeers I could eat...

Van Hollen also said that they tried to do the photo op out by the pool.
