HERE WE GO! The American Experience - Impeachment

I was watching The American Experience last night about Americas first subway system which happened in Boston. 

In 1888 Boston was CRAZY crowded.  During the day the downtown, which was the size of Columbus would hold 450,000 people.   HOLY CRAP!!  450,000?   I had to replay that to make sure I heard that right!   One square mile and 450,000 people.

Anyway it was a fascinating piece and what struck me was this.

The Wright Brothers invented the airplane.  Ford had the car but one of the most important inventions of all time - the electric motor? the one that allowed street cars, electric railways and elevators   . . know who invented that? Frank Julian Sprague.   The most important person in history when it comes to public transit.

BUT - he was bought out by Edison who erased his name on every product and put his own name on it.

Then there are the Houston Astros who have been caught cheating twice now.  About 5 years ago the Astros hired a tech person away from the St. Louis Cards and the next year he hacked into the Cards database and stole data. 

Now they were caught stealing signs using a camera in the outfield and banging on a drum to say CURVE BALL to the batter.

And of course there is some sort of meeting or something on Capitol Hill.    Most of the Republican Senators refuse to even watch the trial what are the polls saying? The say it's all political so . . they refuse to even watch it.  So . . . they are not being political?

Well - nothing new for the most part with polls.  They are basically unchanged from a month ago.  The ONLY change has been among the undecided and there has been a uptick since November 3rd among the non-decided's Also called the non-paying attention group).

It's pretty much down party lines as the FOX Propaganda machine has been working like a charm.  "If you TRY to rob a bank but they don't give you the money . . . is it still a crime?   Republicans say NO.   As FOX Propaganda news says "

"If we tell enough lies then they will no longer recognize the truth".       

OH - sorry - that was the Russians talking about Chernobyl.  Hard to tell the two apart anymore.

Hexo Corp, a Quebec-based producer of cannabis is at war with illegal cannabis producers in Canada and will produce a new strain of a sativa blend called Original Stash.   A one ounce package will cost $125.  About half the cost of a current legal ounce and less then an illegal ounce.

If you are wondering. An ounce is a little over 28 grams and you get ABOUT 20+ good "highs" out of one gram (your results may differ).

And for anybody interested in the future.   There is a medical cannabis shop in Rockford about 1 hour away in a upscale area. MedMar  will become a recreational shop January 1st I believe.  Just a little over 1 hour away (depending on road construction). Super easy to get to (I have heard).

And the first shop opened in the UP recently.

A lot of people with Knee Replacements are using CBD oil

I FINALLY get my locked shoulder looked at Monday - a little late but all is going well.

CBS will have a new Star Trek that looks GREAT!
