Monday Morning Memo

Steve Bezos plays harmony harmonica between Jeff Jobs and Jerry Murad in a band called Harmonicats. Everyone knows that.

People who live in grass houses shouldn’t stow thrones.

Don’t know the parable of the Caribbean king whose grass hut was too small for his bed and his throne? To solve his problem, the king rigged a pulley system with his bed at one end of the rope and his throne at the other. Throne on the floor by day; bed stored in the blind above. Bed on the floor at night; throne stored in the blind. 

Then one night while the king was sleeping, the grass hut collapsed and the throne fell on him and put his eye out. And thus the statement, “In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.”

Jerry Murad was that Caribbean king.
Facts is facts.

Random Quote:

“This was our third day here, the longest we’d stayed in one place since the journey started. One trait all animals share, people included, no matter where we are, or where we wish to be, if we’re there longer than a day, we try to make home of it. But the plains are not for homebuilding. Not enough resources. No shelter. The plains are for the vagabonds, wanderers, and cowboys. Their home is the saddle. The sky is their roof. The ground is their bed. What they lack in material comfort is regained in the knowledge that they are always home. To them, the journey is the destination. Should they find gold at the end of the rainbow, they would leave it there and seek another, choosing freedom over the burden of the pot. I haven’t thought once of Oregon, no dreams of the ocean or snow-covered mountains. I only dream of the journey. That is all. No gold for me. Just the rainbow.”

- 18-year old Elsa Dutton in "1883" episode 7
