Gordon Lightfoot
RIP.
He was a major influence, musically, in my youth, which seems a long way away now.

The End Of The Silicon Valley Dream
Reflections from Joel Kotkin.

Yes, let’s move Disney from Florida to Puerto Rico.
I’d like to say that I’m disappointed that Trump and Trumpsters have signed on to this stupidity, for no other reason than that he’s mindlessly bashing De Santis as a rival, but I’m not really, nor am I surprised.

The Embrace Of Mulvaney

[Tuesday-morning update]
I’m finally getting around to reading the whole thing. I found this amusing: “In the future, Virgin Galactic aims to use its advanced technologies to manufacture aircraft capable of high-speed point-to-point travel. High-speed aircraft are capable of traveling faster than the speed of sound. A significant market opportunity exists for vehicles with this capability, as they could drastically reduce international travel times.”
What “advanced technologies”?
