Something To Think About -- September 3, 2019

I'm sure we will come back to these some day. Harold Hamm has something up his sleeve.

A great song, Bose headphones, and played very, very loud:

Something To Think About, Willie Nelson
One one thing wrong with this song: way too short.

Wow, I love "Texas friendly" driving.

Tonight, driving home with Sophia (five years old) from soccer practice, we're on the typical two-lane frontage road, driving south. We're going about 55 mph, parallel to the interstate. A pick-up truck turns directly towards us on the frontage road but stays on the shoulder. I realize immediately that for him to go legally from point A to point B he would have to take a 3-mile roundabout trip to get to point B. But by driving illegally against the traffic, on the shoulder he can get from his point A to his point B, he can be there in less than a quarter mile.

I knew immediately what he was doing. I kept my speed, gave him a bit more room, and a thumbs up -- what a great state.

I feel blessed to have witnessed the "original" Nadia.

Nadia Elena Comăneci, Romanian: born 12 November 1961;  a Romanian retired gymnast and a five-time Olympic gold medalist, all in individual events. 

Comăneci is the first gymnast to be awarded a perfect score of 10.0 at the Olympic Games, and then, at the same Games (1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal), she received six more perfect 10s en route to winning three gold medals.

At the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow, she won two more gold medals and attained two more perfect 10s. During her career, Comăneci won nine Olympic medals and four World Artistic Gymnastics Championship medals.

Comăneci is one of the world's best-known gymnasts and is credited with popularizing the sport around the globe.[6] In 2000, she was named as one of the Athletes of the 20th Century by the Laureus World Sports Academy.

She has lived in the United States since 1989 and is married to American Olympic gold medal gymnast Bart Conner.

1976: wow, so long ago. A different universe.
