An overview of KAON 99 with commentary is presented. Emphasis is placed on the state of CKM mixing and CP violation. The Jarlskog invariant, J_{CP}, is shown to provide a useful quantitative comparison of K and B phenomenology. The potential of future rare and ``forbidden'' decay experiments to probe O(3000 TeV) ``New Physics'' is also described.
