Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Besides ordering take-out and buying gift certificates from my favorite local restaurants last night I also placed my first bet since the NBA and NHL cancelled postponed their seasons. I'm sure my bookie appreciates the action. I'm not a hero - just trying to do my part... OK this is pretty good... Has anyone started calling Ben Roethlisberger "fat Thor" yet? With the beard and beer gut - the nickname certainly fits... This could be a game-changer - Abbott Labs received FDA approval for a COVID-19 test that could provide a positive result in just 5 minutes and a negative result in just 13. I could see this test being mandatory for anyone looking to board a plane once things are allowed to open up again... Heh Heh - the population of the US in units of Canadas. Thought this was clever... "Tell me what you know. Tell me what you don't know. Only then can you tell me what you think. Always keep these three things separate." - Colin Powell with excellent advice...
