Nostalgia ain't what it used to be . .


Recommended Posts

The algorithms at You-Tube's internet channel on my smart TV . . 

 

seem to have tapped into my reptile brain. 

 

They "recommend" that I watch replays of AC 35 from Bermuda 

 

So I did. 

 

Not having much in the way of a memory, my reptile brain does not know who won, 

 

but still gives me a little jolt of endorphins every time the Kiwis thrash the billionaire. 

 

What fun.

You better look out, all that data that smart TV is compiling on you will have you voting for the next Republican candidate for the position of POTUS, and with your amnesia, you won't have even known you've done it.

 

(Apologies for the thread drift, back to yacht racing now...)

Ive watched it a few times as well, especially the last race with the no look gybe and deep foiling soak that followed - it was a thing of beauty. Jimmy and Larrys hearts was broken right there.

Yup, for all its faults, the interweb is truly brilliant for that type of thing.
