Isn't the quote something like "Those who get an F in history class are doomed to repeat it?"
Those who make A's in history have learned that nobody else learned anything from history.

I've been involved in "Group Think" a lot at work.  When I was younger and less experienced, there was pressure to "go along and get along".  It wasn't stated as such, but it was clear that a contrary opinion was not the path to career success.

There is a pretty neat story which I hope is true about a lady at the FDA who would not approve use of a morning sickness treatment called thalidomide.


Thalidomide was first marketed in 1957 in West Germany, where it was available over the counter.[5][6] When first released, thalidomide was promoted for anxiety, trouble sleeping, "tension", and morning sickness.[6][7] While initially deemed to be safe in pregnancy, concerns regarding birth defects were noted in 1961 and the medication was removed from the market in Europe that year.[6][5] The total number of people affected by use during pregnancy is estimated at 10,000, of which about 40% died around the time of birth.[6][3] Those who survived had limb, eye, urinary tract, and heart problems.[5] Its initial entry into the US market was prevented by Frances Kelsey at the FDA.[7] The birth defects of thalidomide led to the development of greater drug regulation and monitoring in many countries.[7][5]

I turned the heat on this morning downstairs.  First time.

I wore a light jacket yesterday, first time.

I like Fall, but it was always that harbinger of winter, which I did not like, at all.  I'm happy now that winter is relatively mild, I can go outside most days and be comfortable.

The weather has been what I consider perfect the last few days. Cool mornings which give way to highs of about 65 or 66 in the afternoons. Beautiful and sunny without a cloud in the sky.

I usually get my exercise at the gym but the last couple of days I’ve taken long hikes on trails because it is just too nice not to be outside.

Different thing. As breastaurants go, Twin Peaks is pretty good though. One of my customers in Denver likes to do happy hour there.

That's one big plus about living way out west.  Bars/restaurants open up for east coast early games, so you're eating whatever food you want at 9am, instead of what the egg lobby dictates your options.
