Gamble Rogers
Jimmy Buffett’s passing made me think of him. He was a major influence, and they used to play together in bars in St. Augustine. I first encountered him live at The Ark in Ann Arbor in the late seventies. It still saddens me to think what a talent was lost when he tried to save a man on a beach south of St. Augustine in 1991 (I’ve driven through there, and they’ve named the beach after him).
Here is more. I hadn’t realized that he also influenced David Bromberg.
Boom
The company’s first test flight is coming soon in Mojave. I don’t get this, though: “Aviation startup Boom Technology’s XB-1 demonstrator jet has moved from a hangar in Centennial, Colorado, to the Mojave Air and Space Port in California.”
How did it “move”? I can’t imagine how it could have been transported on the ground, unless it was in pieces. That implies that it must have self ferried, so it’s already has its first flight. I guess this will be the first supersonic flight.

Because We’re Not Stupid
American’s are catching wise to Biden’s corruption.
Charging Stations
…need to be more like gas stations.
They also need affordable reliable electricity, and to be as ubiquitous as gas stations, if electric cars are ever going to be a serious thing. I know a lot of people with Teslas, but they admit that they’re not for road trips.
Bidenvilles
Let’s set them up in Martha’s Vineyard.
