Notes From All Over -- Early Evening Edition -- Nothing About The Bakken -- June 12, 2021

First things first:

Poolside tonight:

They must be reading the blog. This was exactly my point. Earlier I posted this: "enough is enough." Now this:

Fascination with Schwab. A reader noted my fascination with Schwab and sent me this:

My reply:

Note the location of Schwab: WESTLAKE

Westlake is a non-entity as cities go. I think the only thing in Westlake is Schwab.

There is Southlake (huge, conservative, rich); Northlake (rural); Westlake (even more rural), all just down the road from us here in Grapevine/Euless, TX.

Schwab has just built the nation's largest bank-complex, I think, footprint -- excpet for skyscrapers in NYC. But this is huge; just west of us on TX-114. They say this area wil be the population center of the DFW area by 2050.

It's a pretty big deal. I did not know Schwab was the biggest in Texas. Interesting. 

Hulu vs Disney+: see this note from earlier today. Another viewpoint, here.  Bottom line: lots of great choices.

Words For The Day

From wiki:

A crepuscular animal is one that is active primarily during the twilight period. 

This is distinguished from diurnal and nocturnal behavior, where an animal is active during the hours of daylight and of darkness, respectively. 

Some crepuscular animals may also be active by moonlight or during an overcast day. 

Matutinal animals are active only before sunrise, and vespertine only after sunset. 

The collateral adjective for twilight is crepuscular, which may be used to describe the behavior of animals that are most active during this period.
