Off The Net -- March 27, 2020

After scouring the internet this morning -- reading only the "stuff" that fits my worldview / myth -- LOL -- these are my takeaways:
  • Wuhan flu will be with us through mid-November; then it will mysteriously and abruptly go away
  • the CDC is still unable to produce monthly, much less weekly, much less daily updates regarding SEAFLU cases, hospitalizations and deaths
  • the ventilator issue does not add up; not even close
  • Trump is still on top of his game
  • $2 trillion bailout/stimulus/New Green Deal and we were concerned about a few hundred billion for global warming?  Wow.
  • economic truths:
    • the poorest of the poor will not be affected by economic impact of Wuhan flu
    • the one-percenters will not be affected by the economic impact of Wuhan flu
    • the income / wealth gap will widen significantly when this is all over
    • the investor class is going to come out of this looking very, very good -- time frame -- three years
    • best thing so far: IRS filing deadline delayed for 90 days; a case can be made to move this deadline to July 15 permanently
    • that $2 trillion bailout/stimulus/New Green deal -- maybe $500 billion will have impact this year -- but that's still huge
    • the investor class is going to come out of this looking very, very good -- time frame -- three years -- oh, did I already say that?
    • many of the lower middle class / "middle" middle class will never recover from the CDC tail wagging the economy dog
    • free market capitalism will come out of the current situation much faster than countries without 
  • Tom Hanks and wife are forever immune against Wuhan flu; wow, that was fast
  • Russia is in deep doo-doo
  • House of Saud is in really deep doo-doo
  • Professor Biden: koan expert

First Solo Bike Ride

A little over a week ago, I set a goal to teach Sophia how to ride her bike by the end of this week, March 28, 2020.

Yesterday, it appeared we were not going to quite make it but I thought we would make it next week, but not entirely sure.

Today, Friday, March 28, 2020, Sophia took her first solo bike ride and now rides very, very well.


A hat trick, a trifecta! I taught all three granddaughters to ride a bike. Arianna was perhaps the most difficult. She learned when the family lived in Summerville, SC. I do not remember the specifics with Olivia, but I do remember that she learned in Belmont, MA, a suburb of Boston. Specifically she learned in Beaver Creek park. Beaver Creek park may, perhaps, be the best park the granddaughters ever experienced.

And today, Sophia learned to ride in W. T. Parr park in Grapevine, TX.
