Peter Zeihan seldom disappoints but today I wonder if Peter didn't miss the big story here.
The $7 trillion gift.

Top Colleges
Wow, I was truly, truly disappointed by the comments.
I'll have the opportunity to talk about this later.
Most interesting for me: the absolute huge number of top universities, public and private in this country. Truly amazing what this country has to offer.
The gap between those "who know" and those "who don't" will continue to widen -- again, see the social comments.
But look at California, these are top under-graduate public schools for tech:

The Movie Page
"Top 10 Uses of Narration of All Time | A CineFix Movie List."
If you want to see a list of great movies you still haven't watched, start here.
Sunset Boulevard ranked #2 on this list.
#1?
Blue. Derek Jarman. 1993. A gay man struggling with AIDS.
1989 or thereabouts I hosted a European military medical conference, bringing together the leadership of all the military facilities in Europe at the time. A huge success. Probably the best to date at that time, and I doubt, ever equaled. It was good, as I pat myself on the back. The keynote speaker: the military lead researcher on AIDS. It's hard to believe but the military provided some of the best early AIDS research. Another story never told.
Not on the list unless I missed it: Sunset Boulevard. But, Chinatown, #1.
The reviewers had to limit the Coen Brothers to one slot, otherwise the Coen Bros would have had all ten top screenplays. Wow.
The ten best screenplays of all time: link here. When I see this list and watch the clips, I am reminded how really incredible Johnny Carson -- a midwesterner -- was when interviewing Hollywood A-listers.

Waiting for the Numbers
Tesla, link here.
As of Thursday, the last trading day of the quarter, analysts were expecting around 457,000 deliveries for the period. That would mark an increase of 8% from 422,875 a year earlier.
Estimates for the quarter ranged from 414,000 to 511,000 deliveries. Analysts who updated their numbers in March were the most bearish, with their estimates ranging from 414,000 to 469,000.
Independent autos industry researcher “Troy Teslike” expects the company’s deliveries to come in below even the lowest estimate captured by FactSet.

The Geography Page
I wonder if the best "thing" I've learned from blogging: geography from Manhattan to Boston?

The Book Page
I've misplaced my hardback copy of the annotated Wuthering Heights. I may need to order a new copy. Only $35.

Curious George
I had not been down to the Bat Cave in quite some time due to cool weather. Tonight I decided to see what Curious George was up to. Holy mackerel!
He even has a new sign up, "Sunset Blvd," and he's wearing a fedora, has a new bottle of whiskey and new cigars. And snacks. He says he needs a Keurig coffee maker. LOL. But, seriously, that’s not a bad idea.
