  1. C'mon, it's Venezuela. We zip in, we pick 'em up, we zip right out again. We're not going to Moscow. It's Venezuela. It's like going into Wisconsin.

  3. One stat from the Celtics that always amazed me was that, from 1958 to 1966, they won 8 straight championships...and averaged 6,000 attendance per game over that stretch.

  5. I'm not an accountant, but taking 15 years to break even doesn't exactly seem like a financial windfall.
  6. In 1962, he was drafted by both the Celtics and Cleveland Browns, and during the Browns training camp he was the last person cut.
  7. Several years ago, I actually thought about installing solar panels on our house. I asked a friend of mine (who is a builder) and he laughed at me, and then showed me numbers that said that the panels would never pay for themselves. His reasoning was something like this. If you install panels on your house, you also have to install a new roof at the same time. Solar panels only work during the warmer months, when the sun is high enough in the sky. Optimistically, solar panels would save me about 33% on my electric bill during the 5 months of warm weather here in Texas (mid-May to mid-October). If my electric bill were $300/month for those five months, then I would save about $500 per year in electric bills. It would cost about $15,000 to install panels on my roof. Working backwards on the numbers, it would then take me 30 years just to break even.

  11. Of course, this assumes that Tesla will still be in business in 2020: https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2019/04/24/tesla-lost-million-first-quarter-model-problems/
  12. He lives outside of Pinehurst, NC and is doing fine.
  13. Roger Staubach is color blind and he's done fine for himself. He found out he was color blind after he finished at the Naval Academy and got his commission. As he tells it, when he took the physical to enter the Academy he guessed at everything during the color test and apparently the tester wasn't paying attention, and passed him anyway. After graduation, he took another physical before entering active service and found out he could not tell the difference between red (port) and green (starboard). Because of this, he could not serve on a ship and could not see combat action, so it pretty much killed any chances for promotion. This was a major factor for him to resign his commission after four years and join the NFL.
