Three Humble Thoughts

 1.  This suicide of the Brit Jason Arday...former Cambridge professor?

If you ask me....there was no fall-back plan (ability to make a wage)....once his entire imaginary 'life' was in full view.

Any blame on anyone?  No....the guy designed his mess.

2.  Dennis Schröder....German NBA player....traded for the 12th time....to the Hornets.

I'll just say it...he is a 'flashy' guard.....who seems to burn bridges where he plays, and generally....is not team-orientated.  

3.  Newest Saxony-Anhalt state poll (election in 3 weeks): (Pollysit)

AfD set at 43-percent...with the CDU at 23-percent.

Greens at 5-percent, SPD at 7-percent, and Linke at 11-percent.  Rest are below 5-percent.

What makes this poll unique?  Just over 2,000 participated....most polls are set to 1,000 participants.

What AfD would have to win with....to avoid a coalition?  If the Greens reach 4.9-percent (getting no seats) and AfD got around 44.5-percent....there is no need for a coalition.

I should add a odd interview piece....the INSA 'boss' (polling org)....says nationally....another 7-odd percent of non-AfD voters....lean in some way toward the AfD.  They aren't fully committed....just that they find some agreement on the migration issue.
