For some reason, I click on a link to any story about it, and it just takes me to this:

I wasn't looking for it but was watching CNBC and of course they had to explain why Tesla was down today. But yeah. Public bitch slapping is going on between 2 grown men, how embarrassing.

I think this one is self explanatory... we fly out at the end of next week, via Hong Kong.
I'm being repeatedly pestered about what we're doing and when. So sent this calendar to my mum.

she has become obsessive about it. She expects me to know what I will be wearing and what I will be eating each and every day. Apparently I should have already placed my online orders to be delivered to my sisters. The fact that we prefer to go into the shop is lost on her. She would freak out if she knew I was not taking a clean T-Shirt for each and every day. (I intend to use something revolutionary called a washing machine!)Be thankful she doesn’t fill it in for you.

Tell her you're bringing half as many and turning them inside out to save water...

Worryingly, she would think I was serious. especially given our cycling past. she would not wrap her head around us not showering every day whilst camping wild. Pointing out that only certain parts need washing got us nowhere.
For me, it’s yes to the former (I have a spreadsheet!), but no to the latter…that’s MrsT. She’s already getting on me about what onboard restaurants we plan on eating at…in December.

Yeah, those stocks just don't move much. I've made more on Nvidia, Microsoft, Chipotle, etc.Whose not buying it?
Now that's a perfect way to ruin a holiday!
I used to get a bit of that from my mum. We'd arrive and it'd be:
"Oh, I met Mrs Hodges on Thursday. You remember her, don't you? (Not a clue) She'd love to see you so I've invited her for tea next week. Oh, and you can pop by the vicar's house (??) and Mr Webb said he'd be delighted to have you back in the choir this Sunday ( haven't been to church for 45 years). Bernard and Sue are coming on Tuesday and they're going to take you down to Folkestone ( b**ger Folkestone! I like sand on my beaches, not pebbles.) Then perhaps you could pop up to Liverpool and visit Aunty Edna (Aunty who? ) - she's 96 now. (Right, that'll be a fun 400 mile trip). And I bought you some tinned ravioli from the Co-op; I know you like that. ( Liked, dear, liked) "
Not to be unfair, but mums just feel it's necessary to look after you

Just found out a dear friend of mine passed away Tuesday night. His mom just called me. He died in his sleep and his teenaged son found him Wednesday morning. We just saw him when we took our Florida trip in October. So sad.
