There&#8217;s not a lot to be optimistic about when it comes to the Saints.  Guess I could try to get excited about the <s>Redskins<\/s>Commanders.  If anything, what I&#8217;ve seen so far is at least interesting.  I still haven&#8217;t quite figured out the offense the Commanders are running.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So many other teams are running the exact same stuff.  Let&#8217;s look like the Chiefs and Niners.  <em><strong>yawn<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Otherwise, I&#8217;ve just been trying to assess what happened with the election Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I feel like <em>What Happened??!? <\/em>was a 2016 thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fair, expected, amount of despair from the left-leaning outlets I follow.  Not a lot of satisfying self-reflection yet, but there&#8217;ll probably finally be some after the shock abates.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In spite of paranoid MSNBC bits coming into the house, I&#8217;m trying to figure out if there might be a small place for me to contribute.  While I might not see a direct path, if it&#8217;s something I could do while maintaining my safety valves, why not?  I think I have to update my CV for work, anyway.  Maybe the updates will feed multiple uses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But I was kind of struck by President Trump&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.msn.com\/en-us\/news\/technology\/whats-starlink-trump-talks-elon-musk-starship-and-spacex-in-election-night-victory-speech-video\/ar-AA1tDC14?ocid=BingNewsSerp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">description of Elon Musk during his acceptance speech was great<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Musk is doing the sorts of things that the authoritarian state say he can&#8217;t.  Then <strong>he<\/strong> has to rescue people stranded in a conventional spacecraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What I don&#8217;t know is whether he&#8217;s doing any of Business School stuff of &#8220;That&#8217;s proprietary information&#8221; stuff.  I do see bits of it, but I also see what he seems at least willing to share information with competitors when it comes to compatibility.  Can&#8217;t find the story I saw a few days ago about how they&#8217;re making other manufacturer&#8217;s vehicles compatible with Tesla&#8217;s &#8220;Supercharger.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Electricidal Engineering isn&#8217;t rocket surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, maybe I have a bit of sunny optimism about all this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don&#8217;t know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While I may not particularly like the upstream beneficiaries, at least something might get done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In so many cases, what&#8217;s in place isn&#8217;t what anyone with half a brain would built today.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, a bit of optimism?  Maybe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do have a lot of other stuff to do this coming week.  We&#8217;ll see how it goes.
