My first blog as a 78 year old

Have I gained wisdom over the years.  Well, I do not react so quickly to events but that is probably because my body won’t move as fast. Just saw that interest rates have gone up .25%. Will I have to pay more for a car? Should have I bought it yesterday. Is it too late? Will I have to keep my 1998 Dodge Grand Caravan for another 10 years?      Should we make the iPhone in the US? Are we ready for the F40 invisible fighter bomber and supersonic passenger jet?  Just think, by carrying passengers on the way to attack we could defray the cost of combat. Is that a big league deal or what?  Well, at least I will not have to buy a really expensive house in DC. It would cost more than one in. Eagle Rock. I have not been invited to Trump Tower. 

LUCY, TREES, AND THE SHORT LIFE OF OCTOPUSES

Post election, life goes on. New studies indicate that 3.2 million years ago that Lucy spent much time in trees. Probably for food and protection from predators. Lucy used some tools but possessed neither bows and arrows nor assault rifles. Over the years was amazed to learn that octopuses are very intelligent creatures. I was a bit saddened to learn that octopuses that leave near the surface have a very short life span of one to two years.Not enough time to develop weapons of mass destruction. Good news for anyone who must have a pet fox. Apparently they don’t make good pets at all. But a study and experiment has been going on for 50 generations. Generations of foxes not people. Foxes that were less afraid of people were bred and over the years grew more full faces,a curlier tail and shorter legs. They are happy to see people and like dogs can “read people.” That may upset the keep foxes wild movement. On that note I wish you a wonderful Thursday.

Luke Cage and Gilmore Girls

Am watching the Cowboys play the Vikings. Haven’t seen much pro football since Johnny Unitas v Y A Tittle.  Was just thinking, what will be the first pro sports events on Mars?  With the discovery of a massIve ice lake perhaps it could be speed slating or maybe curling.  There will probably be full employment on Mars. Now it will take a few more centuries before curling comes to Pluto. Now back to the title. Being retired allows the binge watching of many shows. But are these two related? You watch them and let me know.  Will there ever be a Gilmore Girls Meet Luke Cage?  Have a great December.
