Garn was a senator who became an astronaut, although he got there by pulling rank. We've had two astronauts who later became senators: Harrison 'Jack' Schmitt and John Glenn. Glenn went back into space while in the senate. That exclusive club will probably have another member next year.

Um, the typical worker relies on those repetitive, mundane tasks to pay the rent. Sure, the 10% or so who have great ideas and talent, or more likely pull, will be freed from the grind, but the rest of us will have to move to even worse jobs.

While there is no definitive answer for the disappearance of the Wrangel Island mammoths, common sense would tell us it was due to the incursion of the invasive species Homo sapiens.

I had never heard of Empress Elizabeth, but it appears she did rule Russia before Catherine. The linked article is titled Catherine the Great: the first woman to rule Russia, so thats' what I went by.

I'm a serious gardener, and I do tend to anthropomorphize plants, and then tell myself how silly that is. But I can't help feeling sorry for those mimosas being dropped over and over. Kind of like I felt for the cats when they get dropped in experiments, both real and possibly fictional.

It's all relative. Any home looks nice to someone who lives with their parents, or in their car. Any white collar job, no matter how boring, looks good to someone coming home from their joe job only to work on their Uber or other side hustle to get by.

This is useful way beyond gender identity issues. Children use dolls to play out fantasies, which need a varying cast of characters. One time when my kids didn't have enough boy dolls for some scenario, they cut Mulan's hair off and make her a guy. I thought maybe they were re-enacting the movie Mulan, but no, she was chosen because she was the one Barbie that didn't have high-heel shaped feet.

I love the recurring jokes about the loss of $100,000 in drinks (replacement cost $150).
