Nightly Ramble; Stray Thoughts

Tonight I’m camping out in the Bronx. Not an unusual occurrence anymore. Truck is working fine, the weather is improving.

* I note with some dry amusement that Obama has decided not to attend the funeral of Nancy Reagan. Probably a good idea. I was never much on Nancy Reagan when she was alive, but she certainly deserves more dignity than anything the Obama administration is likely to cough up at this juncture.

* I have long since given up on the idea that the New York Times and its token Republican David Brooks [1] will ever willingly Support a conservative. Hat tip to Ed Driscoll.

* Say what you will about Bernie Sanders and is economic idiocy, there is a certain utility and having a pop up with his kind of nonsense on a repeated basis during this election cycle. It creates for some easy pickings. So easy in fact I haven’t bothered for the most part. I’ve got a couple on file that I probably should pass along and probably will over the next couple of days. But I do have to say that I fear for this country that he’s got as much support as he has.

Okay, I thought it over, & I can’t resist this one.

* I note with sadness the passing of Sir George Martin. He’s the guy who produced The Beatles. And, much of America’s output as well. He was also known as an avid Railway enthusiast, and knowing his own railroad as well as a good deal of power and rolling stock. I’ll be interested to see what happens to all of that.

Down the road I go.
I’ll see you tomorrow.
