• The ragweed count is insane and it is driving me crazy. 
• Re: The death of the Midwestern State player: "Grays is the second college football player to die this week. Clayton Geib, a 21-year-old offensive lineman at Division-III College of Wooster in Ohio, died after being hospitalized Saturday after complaining he wasn’t feeling well."

• What?

• I'm completely missing Ken Burns Vietnam documentary. I'm tracking it down. 
• Trump's use of "Rocket Man" is dumb, but it did remind me of what a great song that is.
• If you don't think Mueller will not end up indicting multiple people, you don't know how the system works.
