Marmalade Moron gives a speech one night, containing 3 major falsehoods, and the S&P500 futures take a nosedive. The next morning, the market plunges 9% on opening, while the Moron's handlers frantically walk back the falsehoods. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-coronavirus-teleprompter-speech/2020/03/12/81bc8a3a-647a-11ea-acca-80c22bbee96f_story.html

At ~ 2200, the local NPR station starts rebroadcasting BBC World Service radio. Then at ~0400 it resumes NPR programming. Or I can just go here for the BBC WSR any time of the day: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/live:bbc_world_service

I knew a skydiver married to a nurse. He met her in the hospital when they hauled him in with a broken leg from a botched landing. Is that how you meet your wives?

I thought Trump was going to do this. He loves this stuff and has a natural ability. And his uncle went to MIT!

Back around the time 9/11 happened, Mile-Hi Skydiving had a nearby Farmer McGrumpy that phoned in complaints on a non-stop basis. The airport mgmt of Vance Brand Airport / KLMO had a website that logged all the complaints. Sometime later I happened to be looking through the logs and found the entries for Farmer McGrumpy immediately after 9/11. He had called in "wanting to know why it was so quiet". I am not kidding.
