Rambling Notes -- November 9, 2022

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.

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: 

And from a reader, persistence pays off:
