We've been having a lot more rain than typical for June.  It rains almost every day, hard at times.

Then the sun comes out.  Then it rains some more.  The bonus is everything is really green.  My tomatoes were showing some bottom end rot which I'm trying to fix.

It's a bit of a silly graphic.  The financial wealth is concentrated in the financial centers.  Nothing surprising there.

So you're telling me that vast open areas of park land and farm land and no man's land, are not tremendous revenue generators?  Shocking!

Additionally, revenue generated from those lands, is still largely funneled through the financial centers, because that's where company headquarters are located. 

Looking at it more closely, that is probably one of the most worthless graphics I've ever seen.  Clearly intended to mislead and divide.  Pure trash.

Look, criticizing info graphics is my thing and I'd prefer it if you left it to me.  If you start doing it, then I don't really have a thing, and my contract with cfb51.com could be terminated.  You stick to your thing, helping me purchase laptops and sipping tea.

In the last 365 days, Florida Panthers have won as many Stanley Cups as Florida State has won football games.

Current events are more easily viewed as "black and white", X is always very wrong, Y is always very right.  Your mind is made up for you no matter any detail or need for analysis.

Unfortunately, in my view, this is simply not the case very often.  I think fairly often both X and Y have flaws.  But it's just a lot easier in life to choose one and go on about it, but that can have personal costs in some cases.

I think it's pretty black and white to believe that getting involved in a fistfight at a cheeseball gambling social club, is really stupid.  I'm comfortable boiling that one all the way down to simple terms.

Yep. I think it's pretty stupid even when you're a nobody. But it's doubly stupid when you're rich and famous and you're going to make the news over it.
