    Evelyne. The last 7 days have been....interesting in all of the meaning of the Chinese saying about living in interesting times.

    Short (as short as can be with the major details) synopsis - Flight home from race set at 6am Tuesday, 2am take boss to ER in pain from 7mm kidney stone, 5am transfer to bigger hospital and cancel flight, 9am she's put into the hallway, finally talk to docs about 3pm, go grab hotel room for two nights and come back, she's in a room by 5pm, surgery at 6:30pm, back in room by 8pm, I go grab dinner around 9-10pm and go to hotel, back at hospital by 7:30am, discharged around 11-11:30am. Go to hotel, she naps all day, we have dinner early as new flight is at 11am Thursday. Asleep by 9pm local. 10:40pm an alarm goes off, alternating siren and voice alert about an emergency and we don't need to do anything just yet. A little after 11 it is turned off and we're told all is well. Fall back asleep. I'm finally totally out cold and at 1am I come to slowly to Evelyne saying something about "this guy says we need to leave the room" - she's standing there talking to LVMPD SWAT in full tactical gear. We dress, grab what we can think of as important right then and go to lobby. They assign us a new room but the elevators are grounded until 3am, basically some fucknut has a gun and is holed up in his room 9 doors down from us and they cleared the entire floor. 3am we go to new room, sleep til 7am, try to go back to our original room but entire floor still blocked off for CSI folks. Go to lobby. One security guard is allowed to go to rooms and get stuff, after 2 hours we get what we need to fly home, haul ass to airport, life is good, get home later Thursday night. Friday at home we have pretty high winds, around 4pm 1 of our 2 gorgeous 100' oaks falls onto power lines. Power back on by 6:30pm. Saturday I went to the bar and got drunk.

    Like I said, it was interesting. She had to come to work yesterday (according to her), so I of course have to take her to the doc yesterday afternoon, then tomorrow again to hopefully have the stent removed and be done with this.

    SRSLY, tho... conjured $$ are conjured $$.

    Now if we could just get people who comprehend this very basic concept to realize that 15 billion dollar aircraft carriers do not actually cost the American taxpayers 15 billion dollars...

    Boo fucking hoo.

    I drove, all by myself, with my two daughters, 4 and 8, from MN to Whorelando. Took me 28 hours. My kids have dietary issues. We can’t stop just anywhere and eat. They survived. Know how? Because I wasn’t a whiny bitch expecting the world to cater to our needs and planned ahead.

    Pissing and moaning over having to drive, give me a fucking break.

    I just got back from the urgent care with short round. She had a 101.8 fever and had to be picked up from school. I got her at 5 tonight and her throat was so swollen I couldn’t make out her tonsils. Strep and flu quick tests negative, but based on symptoms the doc sent a course of abx for her.

    Only one masked up in the whole place was the intake nurse.

    Nobody, and I mean nobody, in that building was the slightest bit concerned over contracting and croaking from covid19. Doc asked me if I wanted their handout on covid19, seemed quite pleased when I told her I wasn’t losing any sleep over it.

    The problem is I have a degree in Econ, graduate certificates in Econ as part of my MBA, and 30+ years of business experience mostly running data/quant teams.

    When you say "the people who realize this" I'm wondering who those people are and exactly what is their logic and angle? It's a serious question from wanting to learn more about that theory. What I've mostly found is from those who misunderstand fractional banking, central banking, expected value, and/or the stock market.

    We’re gonna need to see the report cards. How are we to know if these degrees are from a prominent university?

    Yeah I get it. I really hate bringing out the "resume" but did so hopefully in order to elicit the evidence.
