Don’t shame people for not immediately reading all the books they buy. Some books aren’t made to be ready right away, okay? Some books need time to mature. Some books need to cure for a while. Some books are prosciutto, and don’t you forget it.

There’s a podcast I listen to and they suggest that every law and amendment should have β€œexcept Nazis” at the end of it. Like adding β€œin bed” to fortune cookies. So, yeah …

I’ve been selling stuff in the lead up to this. I’m still down 0.9% in my largest account today, mainly because of AAPL.

I am anticipating my EV purchase will be circa 2027-28. Right now, I’d rather spend the money on solar for the house. Plus, as you know, I just bought a house two months ago, so cash is not free-flowing now and it’s hard for me to justify the EV when my current car works, compared to solar.

Yes, my last trip (LPSC) I looked up Avis and it said 70%. I wouldn’t use that getting from HOU to the hotel, but I would going back (sun of the two), and I was concerned about morning Houston traffic. Plus, the only EV they had was from fElon.

For this trip to FLG this time, I did get a Prius hybrid. Much better mileage than other hybrids I’ve rented and I’ll do it again. Trip back down to PHX I expect will use 2 gallons of gas in 2 hrs.

I’m still driving my 2005 Subaru that I got new that year. My next car will be an EV. However, I won’t rent one. I don’t want to be stuck charging for 15-30 minutes before returning it when I can gas up in <5. When the tech for charging gets comparable, then I’ll rent one for work trips.

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN.

☎️: (202) 224-3121

Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid.

The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING.

Call retiring Senators too!

The amount of scam letters I got in the first few weeks of buying this house has been amazing. Mostly dealing with financing or home warranties. Had to read the small print many times to make sure that they all said they were not affiliated at all with the home builder or my insurance or my lender.

An unelected shadow government is conducting a hostile takeover of the federal government.

DOGE is not a real government agency.
DOGE has no authority to make spending decisions.
DOGE has no authority to shut programs down or to ignore federal law.
DOGE’s conduct cannot be allowed to stand.

I have many regrets about Earth, but making humans in a wide range of colors, shapes, and temperaments is not one of them.
Celebrate thy diversity.

I have been careful in the wording of the Kickstarter to try to avoid obvious search results which could rise to the fascists’ radar. But also, legally, the logo is in the public domain so I can made derivative works from it.

I am working things with my pin guy to ensure we have some at LPSC this year, even though the Kickstarter timing doesn't QUITE follow that schedule. But, we'll know how much and with credit card billing cycles, it should happen.
