Idle Rambling On A Friday Night -- Nothing About The Bakken -- June 4, 2021

Wow, what a week. I feel sorry for those folks who sold in May and went away. Not!

The markets had another huge day on Wall Street again, and, apparently the energy sector did the best. I don't know if that's accurate or not but that was reported at least once today. 

Speaking of which, how did MNRL do? Wow. Okay. 

And now I'm done for the week. 

Poolside, listening and watching to Bryan Ferry Let's Stick Together, on YouTube on a fully charged MacBook Air. I'm reclining on one of those beach lounge chairs that is actually sitting/resting in the pool from which I can dunk my legs to cool off. I was not prepared for this; I did not bring anything to drink except bottled water. LOL. While listening to Bryan Ferry, I can read The WSJ on the same laptop. What a great country. 

Marianne Eaves's favorite things about whiskey. Link here.

Favorite whiskey pairing

“The pairing for me would completely depend on the profile of the whiskey, but whiskey can be paired with every course, and used in dishes at every course as well.

Some of my favorite all-time pairings are a bourbon sorghum vinaigrette on a salad (a specialty of Chef Ouita Michel in Lexington, KY), and dark chocolate paired with a sweeter, rye-based bourbon. Creamy, fatty things have a way of smoothing out and changing the experience of bourbon in the most luxurious ways.”

I have a reader who I think will comment on this. 

7:47 p.m. CT. I have the pool to myself. A few folks on their balconies overlooking the pool. And this is only June. I have three or four more months of this. Maybe four or five.
