With The Jump out in the world, maybe I should remind people about my other books. Here is the link to my Amazon page that lists almost all my books. Most of them are also available at other on-line retailers.

Yes.
Rewatching Better Call Saul after binging Breaking Bad.
Can we all agree that Jonathan Banks as Mike Ehrmantraut is one of the best characters ever?

Let me guess: Israel keeps bombing Lebanon. Tells Trump to fuck off.
Iran gets sick of it and fires back.
Trump says Iran broke the peace, we go back to war.
I give this to the end of this week.

I one read a helicopter pilot's description of what a pilot has to learn and master to keep a helicopter up in the air. I decided at that moment that I also would never, ever get in a helicopter.
Jun 15
In my early 20s, one of my roommates was a pilot for Delta Airlines, with thousands of hours flying commercial jets and many other kinds of aircraft under his belt.
I once asked him randomly if he'd ever flown a helicopter. He immediately stopped smiling, looked at me with a super serious expression on his face, and said:
"There is no amount of money you could pay me to get inside a helicopter. Never, ever accept a ride in one."
I took this as a cosmic sign that if I ever decided to fly in a helicopter, I would die on my very first trip. To this day I've never flown in one, and never will.

Anybody who thought Bibi would say something different is living in a fantasy world. Netanyahu has only one strategy ... to destroy everything around Israel as a means of protecting itself, and ultimately, to claim that land for Israel.

BREAKING: Benjamin Netanyahu says he will not comply with President Trump’s peace deal with Iran and will strike Iran and Lebanon whenever he deems necessary.
Netanyahu says he does not see eye to eye with Trump on the issue and that he is responsible for Israel’s security.
Nethanyahu needs to be removed.

Finally, we have a preliminary agreement to begin tentative negotiations over the hypothetical path forward to consider possible arrangements to discuss steps forward that may or may not be included in a notional accord over a working group that could possibly meet by a to-be-determined Teams call regarding initial steps for a peace accord.

Perfect timing @ATT … as soon as I’m transferred to a Loyalty Dep escalation specialist, after more than an hour on the phone, the call was disconnected.

Coal mines and factories, power plants and transmission lines … all a visual assault on God’s creation that contribute to pollution and environmental degradation. When will @StephenM tweet about those abominations?

These monstrous wind farms—every one of which exists solely based on federal subsidy—are a visual assault on God’s creation that weaken the grid, disrupt marine ecosystems, and force reliance on foreign fuel when have near-limitless reserves of our own.

Pretty sure the daughter's expression meant "I can't believe he made me do that in public."
