Things Heard: e281v1n2

So, I’m figuring out my schedule as I’m kinda off this week.

1. So, more “scientific discoveries” of the restating the obvious sort, this time from economics. The old folk saying “40 below keeps the riff raff out” from North Dakota comes to mind.
2. Again, science restating the obvious. To get good at anything takes lots of practice. To get world-class good at something takes that plus lots of talent. Duh.
3. Staking claims and property rights … on the moon.
4. Woops.
5.  A commercial noted.
6. The global warming, err, climate change crowd are probably crowing about this (to which a reprise of their own comments on cold weather is in order) … but it’s cool anyhow.
7. To whit.
8. “Judge Leon” three posts, here, here and here. Unfortunately for me, the phrase “Judge Leon” brings this for me.
9. Speaking of names and associations. Jack Bauer is in the news.
10. You can keep your doctor, liberal New Yorker impact.
11. Pre-game go go go (and a counter opinion). Upshot, consistency won out.
12. You can take the gymnast out of the gym, but … you can’t take the gym out of the gymnast.
13. Art and the ant.
14. Of church and state.
