Good Morning -- June 30, 2023

Locator: 44837B. 

Some days I have a very difficult time knowing where to start.

Today?

Not.

There's so much to blog I won't get to it all. 

So, some quick memos to myself on which I will expand later.

AAPL: we're in the stratosphere based on pre-market trading. FOMO.

Greedflation: it's real. LOL.

Stayflation: it's real. LOL. 

Military recruiting: same story, recycled every few years. Is it different this time? 

RIDE? Done? Wait! There's more.

Photo of the week: Deere.

T: Huh? 

Hornet: 

ERCOT: the grid failing? So far, not even close. Record demand day-after-day -- how many "e's" in "relentless"? And the reserves have held up very, very well. Amazing, and a quick "thank you" to Governor Abbott and his folks is in order. Thank you.

Norway: maybe we will even get to Norway's demand. But I doubt it. Not today. Way too much other stuff going on.

Grammar: depending no my mood, I might even respond to a grammar issue sent it by my reader, but then again, perhaps not.

Really irritating headlines.

Margot Robbie: hot. Really hot. So hot, that she wasn't even mentioned / shown in a movie trailer -- "they" didn't want to upset their audience. LOL. On this one, I may or may not provide the spoiler alert.

Asteroid City: saw it for the second time last night. Tickets are not discounted for seniors: $11.23 with tax. Saw things I had missed before. Seemed better the second time around. Remember Taranino's Sin City? I swear on a hand of bibles Wes Anderson even "stole" a scene-idea from that movie. And even more dots connect. What a devious mind (that Wes Anderson has).

Names: some folks go by one name. Cher. Madonna. Trump. Others always go by two names: ElvisPresley; WesAnderson. Some go by three: SonnyandCher; LewisandClark. JanandDean.

• Add Wes Anderson to those who always go by two names.
• And, then, of course, there are those whose names are always backwards: "Bond. James Bond."
• The current president goes both ways. Confusing. Perhaps fitting. Biden. Joe Biden.
