Rates of impresonment Permanent link to this item in the archive.

The US leads in this as in so many [questionable] ways.

 Texas has an impresonment rate of over 1,000 per 100,000 in population (over 1%) which is higher than the us at 724:100K and the highest national rate in the world, according to King's College, London.

 Sad commentary. I wonder if California's very far behind Texas.

My Dose of Propaganda? Permanent link to this item in the archive.

I'll be flying United Airlines on Thursday morning. Guess I'll get to see this propaganda piece.

 I guess they figure we're a) stupid and b) still listening to everything they say. Old-line propaganda thinking but since Hollywood isn't producing the usual war-worshipping garbage and TV isn't either, this is next best thing.

 Good thing the Minidisc player has hours of battery life, I can ignore all of the corporate propoganda including this.

Rowed 12465m in 60 min.

 Off pace a little. I was taking 10 hard strokes every 6Km down to 12Km and my food poisoning event last night didn't help either. 2:24.4/500m and HR ended at 146.

They're threatening heat today. Opened the clerestory windows to cool the place down.

 

Watching Orinda. Watching the world.
