NFL: I didn't see this until now. I haven't followed the news, market, etc., all day.
But I was looking at the NFL standings in anticipation of tonight's game and I saw that the Dallas Cowboys "streak" was "two losses," which meant they lost last night. I did not watch the game; I assumed the Cowboys would win and there would be all that meaningless talk that the Cowboys "were still in it." They lost! Say what?! Against the Vikings who are dead last in their division, NFC North. Dallas, with a meaningless tie game, has a slightly better record than the Vikings but are second in their division, the NFC East, well behind the Eagles, but even the Eagles are only 9 - 7.
And comparing the top two teams in each division across the entire NFL, the NFC looks absolutely dreadful, they're all playing "to not lose," it seems. Meanwhile, the AFC leaders are playing to win and look awesome in comparison.
Of course in the AFC West, the Chiefs are completely out of contention. It's hard to believe that in the NFL of the eight teams that are in last place (one each division), most of them (6?) have won two games, maybe three. And the Colts almost beat the Seattle Seahawks. A highly so-so NFL season so far.
Next: this was a sort of meaningless, but fun, exercise -- found on my x feed today, link here:
I've been to nineteen though with regard to Miami, only the airport on my way to South America, so saying I've been in Miami doesn't really count. The other eighteen? Multiple times, and often for days, if not weeks. Many places I've lived, if not within city limits, close enough to say I've lived there or know it very, very well:
- New York City; one summer plus several other times;
- San Francisco; three years;
- Boston: two years;
- Los Angeles: four years;
- Dallas; and,
- San Antonio.
The multiple times I visited these cities other than where I lived had nothing to do with flying or my job. My job was pretty much all overseas with some exceptions. Even when residing stateside, I was often deployed overseas.

GM, Mary Barra, And Apple
Reminder: GM is the only major auto manufacturer that has decided not to subscribe to either Apple AirPlay or Android's counterpart.
Today, it's being announced that GM is backtracking a bit on that.
Confirms everyone's suspicion that GM/Barra are doing this mainly to track vehicle usage by owner. Sort of like Boeing tracking their aircraft and the black boxes. Trial lawyers following accidents involving GM vehicles could have a field day with that data.
