Notes From All Over -- Saturday Mid-Day Edition -- Memorial Day Weekend -- May 29, 2021

GasBuddy: US gasoline demand on Friday, day prior to Memorial Day weekend, closed "the gap." Was 97% of pre-pandemic demand. 

GasBuddy: US gasoline demand on Friday, day prior to Memorial Day weekend, surged 7.4% vs the prior Friday. That was 9.4% over the average of the last four Fridays, to the single highest daily demand since the summer of 2019. Demand was 42.6% higher than the Friday of Memorial Day last year. Question: is this based on volume or dollar sales?

USAF buy: Biden administration will seek to buy 85 Lockheed Martin F-35 jets in the coming fiscal year, tracking a plan the Trump administration outlined last year.

May Madness

Another hamburger challenge -- trending on Whataburger over at twitter today.

National Burger Day: 2021.

The interesting thing when I first saw this, my first thought: regardless of who wins, what a great country that there are no less sixteen burger joints that almost anyone in America can afford, and can find almost anywhere, though some, may be a bit more regional than others, e.g., White Castle, and Whataburger. 

To me, it really doesn't matter which wins; everyone has his/her own taste, and they are all great. One is not going to lose regardless of which burger joint one visits.
