Rambling Before I Join Sophia In The Pool -- June 28, 2022

This morning, on the radio, while driving out to the lake, the weather forecast for today: "cloudy, cool and 93°.

I couldn't be in a better mood:
  • perfect television and streaming.
    • I love TCM; it seems to keep getting better
    • Hulu is awesome
    • sports? dead zone right now
  • books:
    • one book a week
    • Zeihan's, c. 2022, a must-read for anyone following the oil sector, geo-politics
    • easy reading; lots of cocktail chatter
    • I bet it's mandatory reading at US Naval academy and US Navy senior officer schools
  • magazines
    • just subscribed to Science, $79 / year
    • will re-subscribe to The New Yorker as a trial for 26 weeks; $26
    • curious to see how they report the current SCOTUS decisions; should be fun
  • music
    • YouTube keeps getting better and better
    • Lana Del Rey catalogue: if just one "catalogue" on a desert island, this would be it
  • politics, yes politics
    • SCOTUS: back to strict interpretation of the constitution
    • NYT: Chief Justice Roberts has lost his court
    • up and coming Amy could be next chief justice if Roberts not careful; or retires;
    • speaking of which: wow, these justices are young; they're not going anywhere for a long time; exception: Breyer has announced retirement
  • investing
    • be fearful when others are greedy
    • be greedy when others are fearful
    • watch Buffett; he keeps accumulating more OXY
      • and I don't think OXY is even among the best for young investors
