36 Hours in San Juan
Puerto Rico’s capital is open for business, welcoming visitors with its winning combination of lovely beaches, energetic night life and gregarious island charm.Tourism is a miserable business for the toured.
The weather is warm and there are beaches.

Florida is closer for everyone.

NBC Sports contradicted Mr. Costas’s account, saying he had not been removed from Super Bowl coverage as punishment and that the decision had been mutual.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_traumatic_encephalopathy
I am not certain that retaliation is the proper descriptor.
Bob Costas could not continue as the voice of the NFL.

‘Sir, I Never Thought I’d See the Day I’d Be Working for a Colored Officer’

One Cheer for the Green New Deal
At least our future socialist overlords aren’t thinking small.Ross Douthat is seeing things.
I suspect that he has overindulged in the juice of the grape.
The green new deal is a dream that cannot even begin
While the Supreme Court has a conservative majority.
It is intended to mitigate the disaster that will happen in
Ross Douthat's life time.
He can begin by looking at the facts.
The measures are modest in the face of the oncoming
world disaster.
