The Chase and Outer Space

Like every other news outlet we're hot on the case of Brian Laundrie.  As we went to press.  Wait, hold that image.  All we do is hit a button.  Hell, it's 2021 and it's all digital.  But we like the image of an old style printing press shooting out thousands of copies like they used to do in the old black and white movies.  So as we went to press, Mr. Laundrie was still at large.  At large, despite fact that Dog the Bounty Hunter and John Walsh of American's Most Wanted Fame are both on the case. How is this possible you might ask?  We wonder that too.  Surely they will find him, surely.

And, we sincerely hope they do and soon, as a man named Severin Beckwith who just happened to look like Brian Laundrie, woke up to find a bunch of U.S. Marshalls breaking down his Motel door and putting guns in his face.  After looking for Brian Laundrie's tattoos that weren't on Severin Beckwith since he isn't Brian Laundrie, they let him go.  Lucky for Severin Beckwith, it wasn't Dog the Bounty Hunter breaking down his door.

And, William Shatner aka the original Captain James T. Kirk of the Starship Enterprise, rode into outer space for real.  He did this aboard Jeff Bezos's Blue Origin.  We're not sure if this is art imitating life or life imitating art or just a rehearsal for a new Twilight Zone episode.  William Shatner was in a couple of the old ones.  But we liked William Shatner's foray into Space.  Someone who didn't like it was Prince William aka The Duke of Cambridge, KG, KT, PC, ADC.  You know, Harry's older brother.  Prince William said that we should be focused on fixing our planet not looking for other planets to move to.  Now we're not completely sure but we're pretty sure, that Jeff Bezos's Blue Origin that William Shatner rode on, just goes up and down.  It can't go "Where no man has gone before".  Maybe Prince William doesn't get the whole art imitating life or life imitating art thing.  Maybe he's watched too many episodes of Star Trek or he's lost in that place that lies "between the pit of a man's fears and the summit of his knowledge" and he can see that "sign post up ahead" but misses a few other things along the way.  Maybe he needs Harry to come home.
