This is officially done. Two weeks of curing (Tung oil) and then applied wax this afternoon. Just has to be delivered to new owner.

Was it Churchill who said the government kept three sets of books: one to fool to the enemy, one to fool the public, and one to fool themselves?

My aunt’s wind chimes are in F and remind me of the opening of No Surprises by Radiohead.

b) Plant was practically washed up, claimed he was homeless when Page came looking for a lead vocalist.

Yacht Rock was mostly new to me. Knew all the songs of course but didn’t know that Michael McDonald was so important and had absolutely no clue as to the centrality of the guys in Toto.

On a long flight watched “Becoming Led Zeppelin“ and the Yacht Rock “Dockumentary.” Recommend both highly. Knew most of the Zep story but did not know that a) Jones was also, along with Page, an accomplished studio musician at a very young age, and

Seems increasingly likely that the Israeli strategy is to make conditions so bad in Gaza that the world will be relieved when they deport the population to somewhere they can eat.

Preference heterogeneity is probably big but you would think they could all agree on having to sign piecemeal agreements under coercion is bad.

Many people (such as @mcopelov.bsky.social) have decried the lack of collective action from the university leaders. But it’s actually puzzling in light of the standard theory. University presidents are 1) few, 2) rich, 3) intensely interested in the issue and 4) able to communicate freely.

More generally, set a policy that you think is best, morally and practically, and then defend it against all comers.

So I’m not a fan of considering race in admissions or DEI more generally. So on the substance I probably prefer the deal to the status quo. Nonetheless, Columbia should have fought this tooth and nail. It doesn’t matter that there are Germans in the Sudetenland. You don’t hand it over.

There is no suggestion of mouse authoritarianism, nor does the kid regret giving him a cookie. Everybody has fun.

Have to disagree. The book is an analogy to parenting where the mouse (kid) has all kinds of ideas and the kid (parent) is going along with them. In the end, the mouse wants another cookie so it’s back to the beginning.

By no means. I had a flight instructor who told me once he doesn’t like to fly *in the state of Wisconsin* during #airventure. It’s bananas up there.

Speaking of noses, nothing has a snout like the Fairchild 24.

It does make me wonder what would have happened if Harris had run a 100% gutter campaign putting Epstein front and center.

Fareed Guyot and Paul Preidecker hosted this week's first segments of Squawk 1200, interviewing Gary Pokidner of the FAA, Todd Davis of Skywatch, and Zachary Friedman of the Pilot's Mental Health Campaign.

I may be alone in this but this pic makes her look a little like Joni Mitchell.

Because nothing says moderate third party like a union between neo-nazis and monarchists.
