Now sitting here pondering all the things I could have done differently. Sigh.

Well I had an interesting morning. Up at dawn. Went upriver. Caught some fish. Capsized the boat. Got help. Drove home. Had bourbon. The important part is probably the fish.

Upsidedown, the boat floated, so I could push it into a dock. No real current. Kicked off my boots and realized I could save the boat. Got help from strangers. Remember to be a helpful stranger if you can.

As I was trying to figure out what to do (answer, immediately beach the boat on an island so I could bail), the boat got too much water in and just started sinking, then flipped. New experiences! I have followed by bourbon with ice cream.

12 ft boat usually fine, but the south wind picked up, a huge boat buzzed by creating a massive wake that tossed me into the air and poured a bunch of water in the back. I thought it was fine, but the equilibrium had changed so more water kept pouring in.

This is the most sensible analysis of the Russia situation I've seen yet.

For those of you new to this media environment. The main sources of info are an army that lies about everything; a warlord who owns an infamous troll factory and lied about it for years; and the Kremlin. And Russia destroyed the media, so there aren't any good independent sources

There really was a period in which twitter was the best, often the only, place to following breaking news. now it's just trash.
