Ron DeSantis

Peggy Noonan's OPED in today's WSJ is all about Ron DeSantis.   She believes he is running for President.   She describes him as "tough, unadorned, and carries a vibe that he might unplug your life support to re-charge his phone."

Peter Drucker - Learn something new everyday.

What is your Why? - Ted Talk video from Simon Sinek

 

Karl Paul Reinhold Niebuhr - 1892-1971

Reinhold Neibuhr (1892-1971) was an American Reformed theologian, ethicist, commentator on politics and public affairs, and professor at Union Theological Seminary for more than 30 years.

He attacked utopianism as ineffectual for dealing with reality, writing in The Children of Light and the Children of Darkness (1944), "Man's capacity for justice makes democracy possible; but man's inclination to injustice makes democracy necessary."


How about 3 on the tree?

I have been teaching my 13-year-old granddaughter how to drive a Jeep with a standard transmission.   I bought a sweet 2000 Jeep Sahara for the task.   We have had 2 parking lot lessons and she has caught on quickly.   She can easily start on flat ground from a dead stop, move through the gears up to third, and then back down to first and then to a full stop. She is now ready for a back-road lesson.   

There was an article in today's Wall Street Journal about renewed interest in manual transmission cars.   Most of the interest is in the 18-40 age group.   The interest is very similar to young folks' interest in vinyl instead of digital music.
