Quote of the Day

When you want to build a ship, do not

begin by gathering wood, cutting boards,

and distributing work, but rather

awaken within men the desire for

the vast and endless sea.

Where's the Logic?

Our wonderful news media has spent years portraying our president as an idiot, right?  According to them, he's as dumb as a stump.  Incompetent!  Stupid!

In contrast, the the media is loaded with brainiacs who know what's what and we need to lap it all up.  Trust them...they have degrees in journalism and such.

If you're knowledgeable on a particular subject and you state a falsehood, you're likely lying, right?

If you don't have all the facts and state a falsehood, you're probably mistaken, correct?

Friday, during his National Emergency declaration, President Trump announced that Google was working on a Coronavirus Testing website.

The media went right to work on debunking his claim.

Someone at Google said they weren't working on a national website, just one for the Bay Area.

Right away, our "incompetent" president was a LIAR!  He's lying to us!!  Hey, everyone, your president is a lying liar!!!  Can you believe that fool lied?!?!  What a danged dumb liar...he really is the worst person in the world!!!!

Yesterday, Reuters reported that Google actually is developing a nationwide site.  Read more here.

“We are fully aligned and continue to work with the U.S. government to contain the spread of COVID-19, inform citizens, and protect the health of our communities,” Google said in a statement on Twitter.

...and...crickets...

So, the press wants it both ways, don't they?

They want to be allowed to question both our president's cognitive abilities and his honesty.

How is that logical?  You can't have both, so just pick one!  Is he "low IQ" or a big fat "fibber"?

The media is largely made up of ___s (fill in the blank) who will go on about the geniuses (genii) at Google, but would never dream of calling them dishonest.

After all, stating that they weren't working on the website was just an honest mistake...

mind is made up, this diminishes fear;  knowing

what must be done does away with fear.

Legendary Olympic swim coach Bobby "Freestyle" Freeman hosted a freestyle/backstroke webinar recently:



Are you prepared for the pullback?  Expect hiring freezes, at least in the short term.  If you have an offer, make sure it's solid (in writing) before you drop what you have!

If you've been kicked out of your facilities, improvise.

Find other options for water time.  Local health club?  Hotel pool?  Open water*?  Anything to maintain a feel for the water, right?

Carmel has a great selection of dry-land videos here.  Many of those can be done by your kids on their own.

Crazy as things are getting at the stores, replace the C-note in the above picture with Charmin...

Essentials on the AT are, of course, water, food, & shelter.  Right behind those are TP and hand sanitizer.  Maybe those hoarders are just prepping for a looooooong backpacking trip.

With this layoff, I'm catching up on my reading.  I'm a big fan of works by Nevil Shute (Norway).  Rereading several of his novels.  Just finished up A Town Like Alice (a.k.a. The Legacy) and started on Pied Piper.

Once in a while, I switch the radio to NPR.  Since some of my tax dollars fund it, why not?  Also, it's good to keep up with what the elite libs are up to, right?

NPR:  Dividing our nation, one anecdote at a time!

Oh yeah, also working on the 2020 Clark Wilson Invite, a.k.a. Mythical 4A State Championship.
