This and that - Hedy Lamarr?

Pretty good night for the #Resistance.   Moderate Democrats that want to work WITH the GOP lost while the "tea party" left won.   Woman won 11 of  16 races and on the GOP side most candidates that sided with Trump lost while moderate Republicans won. 

Makes for an interesting next 6 months.

The NBA lottery is changing.  I watched a good 8 minutes of the NBA Draft Lottery show and . . . OMG, that had to be the most lame excuse for ANYTHING on television I have ever seen.

The problem is the NBA had a race to be the worst team this year, a historic tankfest .  The draft is weird in the first place.  The #1 pick has a 34% chance of becoming an All-Star and ON AVERAGE the #1 pick will gain you about 3.4 wins over the next 5 years.

But the NBA is changing the system next year making it even harder to get that #1 pick.

For the last 25 years the worst team had a 25% chance of the #1 pick with 2nd worst 19.9% and 3rd worst 15.65 chance.  NEXT YEAR the worst three teams all have a 14% chance.

Timeless - that wonderful time traveling show is still in limbo.  The show is great as it highlights

Or Grace Humiston the greatest detective in America - basically Ms. Sherlock Holmes.
unknown heroes that time has forgotten about.  Recent shows were about Hedy Lamarr who literally invented WiFi during WWII.  She was a brilliant scientist.  In WWII radio controlled torpedoes could be hacked and she figured out a way to frequency-hop the signal that so it could not be tracked or jammed.

But we wait to see if the show that started as a fun time traveling ride but turned into a thinking mans ride gets canceled AGAIN!

It has been found that cannabis has the ability to stop the onset of Alzheimer by blocking some sort of something that attaches to the brain thingy.  Yea - I'm not doctor.

OH - I got my new iPhone replacement yesterday.  All I have to do is switch out the SIM card which I cannot do.

NETFLIX will have over 1000 NEW original programming this year and are NOT spending money on buying rights to movies.

Facebook deleted 528 MILLION fake accounts and 1.9 million pieces of terrorists propaganda.  APPLE has decided to censor what you can look at online.  I have a Leafly app where APPLE will not allow any content on Denver cannabis dispensaries (if we ever decided to visit one).  You MUST have location services turns on and if you are from Wisconsin everything is blocked.

time to mow the lawn again - it's been 2 days already.  I'm TRYING to cut it shorter but just keeping it as is has been difficult!
