Headlines III -- December 3, 2023

Locator: 46227HEADLINES.

Wow, wow, wow: moments ago -- Sunday night, 10:47 p.m. CT, Dow futures just turned green.

Green Bay Packers: with two minutes left in the game, the GBP kicker just won the game for Green Bay. The Chiefs need a touchdown and a two-point conversion. Not gonna happen. My prediction: Mahomes intercepted again.

Gold sets new all-time record: surges past $2,100. My mother -- RIP -- would have been thrilled. She was a gold bug in her time. 

The economy:

Magic number: for AAPL, $193. 

Cher: #1 Christmas album. 

Sings duet with Stevie Wonder. Sings duet with Darlene Love. It turns out that when Darlene Love first recorded "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)," Cher, at age 17, was one of the backup singers. A Phil Spector production. After that, Phil Spector and Cher were joined at the hip. Best news; Cher is releasing a deluxe edition of "Believe." One of the best albums ever.  Wow, how I wish I had grown up in west LA in the 50s and 60s. There is truly something special about west LA. UCLA undergraduates have no idea how fortunate they are.

Las Vegas: I was lucky enough to see Las Vegas several times before the city became out of reach. When it was still part of the wild, wild west and Harry Reid, US Senate 1987 - 2017, ruled.

Twenty-five years ago: I was the hospital commander, hospital, 1st Fighter Wing, USAF, Langley AFB, VA. Wow. And to think, vinyl is back. So are 35-mm single reflex cameras.

Unboxing.

Wow, I love this album.


Taxi, taxi.
