A tweet by Tom Hanks took me down a rabbit hole this morning...
Care to join me?
The Lost Symbol
The Lost Symbol is a 2009 novel written by American writer Dan Brown. It is a thriller set in Washington, D.C., after the events of The Da Vinci Code, and relies on Freemasonry* for both its recurring theme and its major characters.
*hold that thought...
A mysterious tweet by Tom Hanks...
(Not even interesting, just boring details, a game of Gin Rummy and some carefully placed numbers)
Event 201
Published on 4 Nov 2019
Selected moments from the Event 201 pandemic tabletop exercise hosted by The Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security in partnership with the World Economic Forum and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation on October 18, 2019, in New York, NY. The exercise illustrated the pandemic preparedness efforts needed to diminish the large-scale economic and societal consequences of a severe pandemic. Drawing from actual events, Event 201 identifies important policy issues and preparedness challenges that could be solved with sufficient political will and attention. These issues were designed in a narrative to engage and educate the participants and the audience. For more information, visit: http://www.centerforhealthsecurity.org
EVENT 201 IS A FICTIONAL EXERCISE AND DISEASE
Gin Rummy has an interesting objective
The basic game strategy is to improve one's hand by forming melds and eliminating deadwood.
A Corona Typewriter ?!
(Seriously? Taking a heavy, easily broken typewriter on holiday?!)
And what about THAT Vegemite tweet?!
(“Laying it on a bit thick!”)

In April, a 115g jar of VEGEMITE spread makes supermarket history in Australia by becoming the first product to be electronically scanned at a checkout. It was scanned at Woolworths in Chullora, NSW and the price was 66 cents. The product is still on display at the Woolworths head office in NSW.
