The Hindenburg catastrophe occurred on 6 May, 1937. The cause of the fire remains unknown, though there are multiple theories. Surprisingly, only 36 people perished in the disaster, one of them a ground crewman. The loss of the Hindenburg caused a decline in public interest in airship travel. What would have happened if the Hindenburg had not been lost? Maybe zeppelins would have remained popular. Also the band Led Zeppelin would have had to come up with a different photo for their debut album's cover. Personally, I'd like to fly on an airship some day. But I'm eccentric like that.

Thoughts from the White Board - May 12

The house is in serious need of cleaning and I should be working on my internship.  So I'm sitting here, watching Scooby Doo with my daughter and posting a short entry.  I always liked this episode of Scooby Doo when I was a kid.  It's the one with the 10,000 volt ghost in it.

And now Scooby is doing his Columbo impression.  They're interrogating a parrot in the local pet shop.  I love how they're always looking for clues in this show.  And Shaggy and Scooby are always hungry.  Of course, you probably already know my theory on those two.  You wanna guess what's in those Scooby Snacks?  That's right folks.  A little THC.  Scooby and Shaggy and getting their mellow "Mary Jane" on.  That's as close as cartoons in the '60s and early '70s could come to Pot.


Procrastination and Faith have a lot in common, as you can't have procrastination without a little bit of faith that your last minute efforts will do something pretty amazing.

My grandfather once told me that there were two kinds of people: those who do the work and those who take the credit. He told me to try to be in the first group; there was much less competition. - Indira Gandhi

I'm not feeling very well, I need a doctor immediately. Ring the nearest golf course. - Groucho Marx


Oh, it's over.  Funny how the gang solved the entire mystery of the 10,000 volt ghost in just one night.  Don't you love TV cartoon efficiency?  These kids ought to be in Washington DC, solving real crimes.  Like who took the Lindberg baby, or where the Lost Ark of the Covenant is.  Oh wait, Indiana Jones solved that one.  Now I need to watch that movie again.  Que the Indiana Jones march...

The parting comment:

I think she'd have broke up with you sooner or later.  It appears you suffer from uncontrolled ADHD.  A serious problem with your attention span is evident in this letter.  Either that, or you just love giraffes.  Hey, I wanna ride a giraffe!
