Bits and pieces that I don’t have time to develop into full posts this morning.
- DOF on the “authority gradient” and how it played into the worst aviation disaster on record. I need to see if that Nova is repeating any time soon.
- Mr. Les Goes to Starbucks for the first time (and what he discovered there).
- No more Vegemite Sandwiches for Americans. Really.

Nova always does great shows.
PBS had one years ago dealing with the same kind of problem concerning a plane that crashed into the Andies. The problem involed the Jet Stream (unknown at that time) slowing the plane down while flying in clouds. A crew was use to doing things based on timing, and everything said it was time to descend to the airport….and instead they flew right into the side of a mountain.
The Mystery was solved when pieces of the plane and passengers started to come out of a Glacer.
The vegemite ban may be a hoax, or at least a misunderstanding.
