    I suppose the title isn’t exactly misleading, but it certainly left me with the impression that he had another sundowning moment where he gets off on a tangent and then a tangent to that tangent, and never gets back to the original point.

    This wasn’t that. He was talking shit, obviously, but his drivel contained cogent points. It’s probably the most coherent I’ve seen him be in the last year or two. While he was speaking (and making one coherent point), he was interrupted by a mosquito, and then took a moment to mention how much he hates mosquitoes. Then, and this is the important bit, he went back to his original point. Everybody does this. Usually, it’s nothing more than just waving your hand around in front of your face and saying: “fucking mosquitoes!”, but it’s the same general principle nonetheless.

    Contrast this with his whole shark / boat / battery scenario. Or his long, rambling diatribe about how powerful “nuclear” is. This is nothing.
