It's odd what trivia will stick in your mind -- but watching the DNC tonight, I wondered how a guy can commute two hours each day to work for years and years. Well, Democratic VP nominee Joe Biden does it but he does it on a train in a travel corridor where, I assume, high-speed wireless network is available and he can get some work done.... Amtrak will charge you $1,062 a month for unlimited travel between Wilmington and Washington or Biden could buy a 10-trip ticket -- a workweek's worth of back-and-forth rides costs $472 (monthly cost of $1,888 that way).

I grew up watching Merry Melodies cartoons and my favourite bits included the battle between Sam, the sheepdog and Ralph, the coyote (a coyote that looked a lot like Wile E.... They would then proceed to the day's work of Coyote trying to steal the sheep and being caught each time by the sheepdog who would then proceed to beat the heck out of Coyote. At the end of the day, whistle would blow, and the paid would punch out for the day.
