I had an errand to run a few miles east of where we live in north Texas, just a mile or so from DFW.

Wow, talk about a pleasant drive. I've mentioned this before but the roads in Texas are incredible and the drivers are (most will disagree with me on this) incredibly friendly. They drive friendly but carry big guns. LOL.

But seriously, a really, really nice drive and the GPS maps / directions are now incredible. I used to use only google directions but now I exclusively use Apple maps. Amazing. 

Can't articulate well enough how incredible this area is -- lots of building, absolutely amazing.  

While out and about, a reader sent me this screenshot:

My reply: 

That is a good chart. I might come back to it. Out and about right now. But it is funny: except for what eggs we might use making brownies for Sophia, I’ve quit eating eggs. We still have three dozen in the fridge from the four dozen we had a week ago or so.

We're not paying anywhere near $8 / dozen here in north Texas for eggs, though I haven’t checked in about 10 days. 

By the way, does anyone know the cost of a first-class forever stamp here in the US? You know, the ones that used to cost three cents when Joe Biden first entered politics a few years ago.

I used to collect postage stamps when I was in elementary school. Great hobby. Gave up about middle school but then started again in my 40s or thereabouts. It's going to be a great collection for Judah or Levi or their kids.

I think I have several of the 3-cent stamps shown above. They two shown are now worth $3,000, at least according to the website where they are being sold.

I'm going to work with Judah and Levi to collect GPUs.
