Notes From All Over -- The Screenshot Edition -- April 6, 2020

Twitter analysts: it's hard for me to believe that the professional "oil analysts" over at twitter have not seen what's going on. See below. 

Saudi surge. Almost all this "new" oil, I assume, simply came out of storage. Saudi had to remove oil from their onshore storage tanks to off-shore VLCC. They simply had to do something with the excess amount of oil coming on the market even without new production.

This is why there is a glut of oil; it has little to do with the Saudi surge.

Americans are lovin' it. If Saudi Arabia wants to give away their lifeblood, Americans will gladly take it.

The Gothic Page

Wow, wow, wow. I read well into the middle of the night. I completely missed the "Gothic female" angle while reading Wuthering Heights. It will be interesting to see if the Annotated Wuthering Heights mentions the phrase "Gothic female." I don't recall seeing that phrase the first time reading the book; I'll look again for it.

I'll provide some links later. Time to go pick up Sophia.

Liberace

One of the highlights of my long life was seeing Liberace play Tchaikovsky's piano concerto #1 in B-flat minor in Las Vegas, probably about 1978. From wiki:

At the height of his fame, from the 1950s to the 1970s, Liberace was the highest-paid entertainer in the world, with established concert residencies in Las Vegas, and an international touring schedule.

Liberace embraced a lifestyle of flamboyant excess both on and off stage, acquiring the nickname "Mr. Showmanship."
