Accumulated Thoughts

Here are some things which have struck me recently . . .

Pfizer, the large drug company, recently reported their quarterly profits -- they're down. But don't feel too sorry for them. They're down to 2.78 Billion (yes, that's a "B").

Yamaha has a $45,000 player piano which connects to the Internet. You can download music of all types to have the piano play. But you may not be around to hear it since you will be spending all your time making the money for the payments.

I saw an interesting image the other day while driving home. It was a young man on a bicycle with a skateboard tied to his back. Sort of the long and short of human-powered transportation.

Heard the results of an interesting study which found that marriages seem to work better when the man is uglier than his wife. Nothing particular to say about this.

Is it trial lawyer Democrats vs. corporate lawyer Republicans?

Jose Zapatero has appointed a cabinet with is majority female -- including a female defense minister who is seven months pregnant. I think this is wonderful. It is mothers who are very affected by war as they have to send their sons and daughters off to not have them come back. Good move Jose!
