Blackmagic Raises Price of Many Items

Tangentially, it looks like yesterday (Feb 28) was the 40th anniversary of the MASH finale.

Truly great series. Still watchable, thankfully often re-run

Had a viewing party with friends at my parent's house for that episode. Water in the glass (not sure what I would have thought of an actual martini back then).
 
Considering there were only three channels to watch (besides PBS and the local independent), getting 3 out of 4 TV sets to watch something, while a big deal then, wasn't a big challenge. It was a satisfying ending, unlike the notoriously bad final episode of Seinfeld.
 
Vietnam and the war is quite an interesting story. Occupation goes back to the 1800s with the French occupation. Considering how the Korean war went and its outcome, the Vietnam war outcome was no surprise. It's interesting how administrations learn nothing from history. Russia was in Afghanistan for 20 years. Then the US goes in for another 20.

Unpopular? If you want to get just a bit of the feeling of chaos of that tumultuous decade, this is one of many defining moments - Kent State shootings - Wikipedia
