It’s not a spy balloon, it’s China Garden’s new delivery system. |
| [Justice or Revenge] I’m not a bad person, but if a convicted prisoner admits to heinous crime, is mentally fit, is convicted with a plethora of evidence, and is going to be executed, can we not have the victim’s family mix the dose that will finally end the stealing of oxygen from our planet? |
You can always tell when people up north get bored. |
| Living in Key West, there’s no tv needed. Just go for a walk, all the free entertainment one can want. |

| [Panama Canal] How much does it cost to go through the Panama Canal? It depends on weight. The average toll is around $150,000. The most ever paid was about $850,000. The cheapest crossing was for a swimmer who swam the length of the canal. He paid 38 cents. Guess you could kayak through at today’s prices for about a buck and a half. |

 [Winner] 18-year-old teenage girl wins $48m lotto jackpot. That would make a good reality show. We could see how fast a teenager can piss away $36 million. I know I’d piss it away too when I was 18. First stop: Ferrari dealer, second stop: iPhone store, third stop: drive by my high school so all the girls could see me in my new Ferrari. Link |
| [Inflation] In a 1974 movie, a guy orders 2 coffees and a pack of cigarettes and left a dollar on the counter. |
Dive-ins are gone and replaced with malls, shopping centers or condos. I miss drive-ins. This picture is the Stock Island drive-in. |

On January 25 I heard the first cardinal’s call of the year. Coincidentally, that first song was on the same day as last year’s. |
| [Real Men] When I grew up men didn’t touch or hug. It was a sign of weakness. I don’t remember my father ever touching me, he was a ‘real’ man (who left his wife and children when I was 16). |
 [New Engine Design] The Israeli revolution of the internal combustion engine. There are no valves, no lubricants, only twelve components. In fact, the engine does not generate any torque, but electricity. It is a generator. Link |

 The USA’s surface naval force is 164 ships That doesn’t include submarines, aircraft carriers, or sealift ships. Unfortunately, about half of those ships are not seaworthy or combat ready at this time. (The United States Navy has over 490 ships in both active service and the reserve fleet, with approximately 90 more in either the planning and ordering stages or under construction.) |

| [Captain Doom and Gloom] Ha, multi-billion dollar fighter toy to shoot down a kids balloon and the morons with the stars on their shoulders have the stupidity to brag about it. Ha! They could have used a Piper Cub with a pointy stick! Link |
The stars were out in outrageous outfits on the red carpet for the 65th annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday night. Link |
| [Driver Assist] I just bought a 2022 automobile. It has computer-controlled steering. Drive down the road, let go of the wheel, drink a water, eat a sandwich. Beeps every so often to tell you grab the wheel. My wife says it’s unsafe to do this. I told her the car wouldn’t be made like this if they didn’t want no hands. Ok, I’m old. |
