If you’ve read my blog regularly, you’ll be familiar with how this works. If not, the short version is that the location company What3Words.com has assigned three-word combos to every one meter square spot on earth and I have fun finding W3W combination that are prophetic, ironic, or simply entertaining. You can see more here<\/a> and here<\/a>, or just search W3W in the search box above.<\/p>\n

I could have told you Matt Gaetz’s nomination would be sunk because attorney.general.gates<\/a> lands in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. So does Gates.withdraws.nomination<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Personal names are not used by W3W unless they happen to be valid words in one of the languages they support. Trump and Musk happen to be such valid words, so you can have a lot of fun with them. For example trumps.cabinet.selection<\/a> is deep in Russia. An illegal spy?<\/p>\n

The pressure is now on the U.S. Senate to serve as a guard rail to keep Trump from appointing unqualified people to key positions (Rudy Giuliani as FBI Director? One of the cop-killers from Jan. 6?) So I searched Senate chamber for any clue as to how well they would do. Sadly, the best I could find was that it is one of those prime.actors.areas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Setting politics aside, I see that California is expecting an atmospheric.river.storm<\/a>, so I decided to look up where it will hit. According to W3W that will center on West San Jose about 8 miles from my house. Yikes!<\/p>\n

Lastly, on a whimsical note, I just read that some crypto billionaire bought that stupid “art” consisting of a banana duct taped to a wall for $6.2 million. Since duct is not a valid W3W word (confuses with ducked) I had to settle for duck.taped.banana<\/a>, which is located in a federal intelligence facility in Fort Belvoir, Virginia. That’s not creepy!<\/p>\n
