WHAT? The Duke of Windsor, the one who abdicated because of his true love for Wallis Simpson was a Nazi Sympathizer? WHO NEW!
Well, it seems many people did and it was a very very long held and dark cover up that was suppose to come to light in 2045. The Marburg Files!
Seems The Duke and the Nazi's had a plan to overthrow the English government and install The Duke as the King. The plane with the plans crashed and with that the plan came undone. BUT - since the Germans were super anal about documenting EVERYTHING (literally EVERYTHING such as who's teeth went where from holocaust victims) personal letters were discovered between the Duke and Hitler.
WOW.

Speaking of reality. When you go the Disney you really want to escape reality right? Unless you go to the Hall of Presidents (or whatever it's called) and see the new Donald Trump wax stature.
Looks about right.

Did you know every galaxy in the known universe has a black hole? Scientists/astrophysicists think this is a egg vs. chicken thing - what came first. The galaxy? or the black hole.

GUS THE WEATHER DOG SAYS: "I'm not brown nosing"!!!
Actually he IS brown nosing but more on that after the weather.
The latest words from NOAA suggest starting Sunday "we" might be above average for 5 days with the next real chance of snow NEXT Thursday. Lots of sun to melt ice.
We just have to get this arctic air mass to move along!
As for "brown nosing" (also called winter nose or snow nose) - it's a thing and Gus has it. It has to do with the amount of light as many dogs with black noses turn noses that turn brown in the winter. It will go back to black when the weather gets warmer or the sun is out more.

OMG - want to see what a virus looks like? IT'S A MONSTER! Taken with an electron microscope. Those look like blood platelets in the background don't they?

Be prepared to hear a lot about Meltdown and Spectre, two really horrific microprocessor bugs that allow hackers to steal the entire contents of your memory in your computer. Meltdown is an easy fix but will slow your computer 30%. Spectre is a different monster that has no fix yet.

70% of drones are made by one Chinese company and saw sales of 2.7 billion last year. I will personally take a baseball bat to every drone I see. Literally the most annoying sound on the planet. I will be the old man throwing rocks in the sky trying to knock down every personal drone I see. I might actually buy a gun to shoot at them. UNLESS my guns are taken away by the Police. Seems in Pennsylvania you have a choice, give up all of your firearms and have access to medical cannabis. Or keep your guns but loose access medical cannabis.
So - they ARE coming for your guns.

Screw cannabis - invest in mushrooms the hot new food item. Grand View Research is projecting the mushroom market to exceed $50 billion within the next six years. YEA medicinal chaga and reishi mushroom extracts make you all healthy. Where was this in the 70s when I tried to get mushrooms for "medicinal" purposes for a Pink Floyd Concert (the Animals tour).
I will never forget that concert in Milwaukee at County Stadium. Before the lightning storm hit (or at least I think there was a lightning storm) when the huge pig exploded two of Milwaukee's finest rushed up the entry way guns drawn . . freaked everybody out until the Police saw it was on the stage.
We all laughed. Probably would not laugh these days. Oddly Police/civilians interactions were more civilized in the 80s then 25 years later.
Brings up another lost memory - the time a wedding party I was in was booted out of County Stadium for mooning Tommy Thompson (from 500 yards away). Seems some people did not appreciate that. I did no mooning, he was not close enough.
I road 30 miles on a bike with a Lycra clad Tommy Thompson on GRABBAWR. Was a nice guy but he did love the woman. So so many woman. Now THAT was weird.
ahhhhh - the County Stadium memory's

Fish feel pain like you and me. When you catch a fish that hook REALLY hurts. and when you slowly suffocate a fish it is REALLY panicking and in a good deal of real pain. Several countries including the UK are now making the killing of fish a more humane.

Sometime in March a 19,000 pound Chinese satellite will come crashing to earth and nobody has a clue where it will land except they know that it will land (crash, explode) somewhere between 43° North and 43° South latitude, pretty much every inhabited continent on earth.
Hubble will have that problem also in 20+ years but the last time we were up there "we" attached little rockets so when it does come crashing to earth we can steer it a little.
Meanwhile in Ontario (and off topic) 4 million youth under 25 now have free health care with access to free prescription medications.

The stock market is scorching hot (ching ching) for the last 9 years ever since Obama was elected. This topic already bores me . . .moving on.
OH - The Amazing Race last night - in 30 seasons I have never seen a photo finish before to see who gets booted. It really WAS amazing. Cedric Ceballos and Shawn Marion two former NBA players were struggling but were in 8th place . . .until they found out they did not follow directions and were assessed a 30 minute penalty.
They had to wait at the finish line for the final 2 teams to arrive. At the 29 minute mark Phil told them to come forward and stand on the finish line and said.
"See those two teams running this direction, they have 30 seconds to get here". tick tick tick. the 30 second mark ticked and they came in 8th. 7 seconds later two teams arrived and it was a photo finish.
The first place team for leg #1 of the 30,000 mile race was Kristi Leskinen and Jen Hudak, retired professional down hill skiers, super athletes.
OK - nuff said for now!
