Who Did This When We Were Young?

Another young business founder, Charlie Javice, is in the news as she's being sued for JP Morgan for essentially lying about her business, Frank. This comes right after the Sam Bankman-Fried, FTX, crap. Which was just a bit after the Elizabeth Holmes and her failed Theranos business, scandal. These three entrepreneurs seem to have several things in common, and I'm wondering if other business founding scammers, especially from our younger years, had the same things in common too. What do you think?

Just priced some high altitude research balloons that expand up to 35 feet for $395, on sale.
They didn't give a maximum altitude or payload capacity.
And I don't know how much or where to get Helium. But anyone in China could probably get all for half the price.

One More Beach and Birding stop Plus Historic Merida

Join us on the last week of our Mexican vacation. I hope you've enjoyed this exploration of the Mexican Yucatan. This week we're visiting Celestun and the white city, Merida. Celestun is home to flocks of pink flamingos with a nice beach facing the bay of Campeche. Merida is the capitol of the state of Yucatan. It is a cultural center with lots of museums, music, and foods.

Afternoon folks!

This week I've uploaded a bunch of quality stuff. There's an album of harmonica blues from Carey Bell and a compilation of a bunch of Johnny Shines and Robert Lockwood's early singles on the JOB label. In the blues rock category, there's an early not-too-common album of live recordings from Roy Buchanan and albums from Rory Gallagher and Blue Cheer. There's some 70's west-coast bluegrass/rock from Muleskinner a band with Clarence White (guitarist from the Byrds and earlier the bluegrass band The Kentucky Colonels), David Grisman (mandolin player who played on some Grateful Dead material and projects with Jerry Garcia), Peter Rowan (bluegrass singer and guitarist from Bill Monroe's Bluegrass Boys through Seatrain to Old And In The Way and great solo stuff), Richard Greene (fiddler extraordinaire) and Bill Keith (accomplished, widely recorded Banjo player). Finishing off is a Richard & Linda Thompson album.

Enjoy!
