Wow! Amazon is incredible. We ordered wireless headphones for May's new iPad Pro at 2:00 p.m. Wednesday afternoon, and they arrived last evening, Wednesday, same day, at 9:45 p.m.
Wow! Gasoline drops below $3 / gallon in north Texas.
Rambling notes and links:
- it was a GOP debacle; I said often, it was a mistake to underestimate Biden; he has been in national politics since 1971; US Senator, 1972; he knows politics; he knows Washington.
- Mexico bans GM corn; Peter might be wrong on this one; hard to say; I don't know;
- I doubt anyone is really surprised by this:
More rambling notes:
- two days before the election, President Biden emphatically announces, "no more drilling."
- gasoline is trending toward $5 / gallon in much of the US and $8 / gallon in California, and there's an outpouring of support for the president two days later; this speaks volumes about the health of the economy;
- my autumn reading program continues; arrived today:
- The Last Campaign: Sherman, Geronimo and the War For America, H. W. Brands, c. 2022.
- vaccines: in the past few weeks, for me:
- Covid-19, second booster; now four Covid-19 vaccinations; fully vaccinated;
- shingle vaccine last week, first in a series of two; $178 billed to insurers for first injection;
- seasonal flu shot today: upwards of $70;
- my wife is thrilled with her brand new iPad Pro -- M2 tablet; her first iPad ever; she opted for the 11-inch rather than the 12.9-inch;
- for the "set-up," she simply brought her iPhone next to the new iPad and everything was transferred, seamlessly
- the transition to EVs is going to be a disaster for some automakers:
- Lucid: links here, here, and here.
- Rivian: shares jumped after-hours;
- For the quarter Rivian reported revenue of $536 million, missing estimates of $561.1 million, and reported an adjusted EPS loss of $1.57 a share, smaller than the expected loss of $1.86.
