Take on the Artemis photo

Artemis II sends back a photo of earth and they compared it to the photo taken in 1972 and honestly, the one that is older than me looks better. I'm not sure what they were proving but i will say that considering all of the technological advancements we've made, apparently long exposure photography isn't one of them.

Take on Tiger

Our president takes phone calls from over the hill golfers -and generally miserable human beings. When they flip their cars while driving while hammered. This is the president we deserve, one who is easily corrupted by fame that he's take time out of that day to some repeat drunk driver for yet another example of how not to drive a car.

Take on going back to the moon

When you ask why we are making a big deal about this moon thing, realize that it IS a big thing if you come to grips with the fact that when this was happening nearly six decades ago, it was happening in a sound stage. We were in a life of death battle with the communists and we just had to one up them after Sputnik and if you believe the entire Neal Armstrong thing was what it was then let me tell you about the Easter Bunny.

Take on replacing my running shoes

As an avid runner who runs about 1700 miles per year, I know the importance of great running shoes but often confused as to when I should change them. All the data says they should be changed around 300-500 miles which is crazy when that means you could be replacing them in two months. I'm not sure what the right number is but I'm convinced the 300-500 number is just what Big Sneakers want us to believe which at $150 for a pair of sneakers is totally ludicrous.
So here is my rule of thumb. You run till you can feel the bounce in the shoe or the traction is worn out or you've stepped in dog shit that you can't get out. Whichever comes first.
