  They say you only clean when you’re trying to avoid something… I’m avoiding booking tickets because I’m still miffed about going to Toronto! But what else is there to do? So what was I cleaning? The Attic of course! Was requested for an old CD player, and I found one! Some of my first drum cymbals and… the family’s FIRST COMPUTER! (Listen til the end! Gotta finish up reading The Stand AND 1929… it’s coming due. And my apologies for digressions yesterday! As I was recording, my nose felt tickley! The logistics of podcasting is that if the episodes are longer than my transcripts don’t automatically get deposited into my master spreadsheet! Donate to the show!

  Oh no! Maybe I have to go to Toronto! Need BIOMETRIC DATA! (Can this be mailed in?) What are tickets like? When should I go? Shopping with Mumsy today and out for lunch! Food, gardening stuff, and cat food, what did we find? Then off to the library to read Daniel J. Levitin’s book on Successful Aging - it’s all about the people! Who will change the light bulb? Where will I get ice cream? And who will I have lunch with? And what’s this about Warren Buffett and the art of stock arbitrage?? Mostly stuff you can’t or won’t do.-takeover targets - but how do you know?-Buffett DID use leverage in his early days on his “sure thing” trades-“buy what you know” is commonly attributed to Buffett but, does that mean industry or stock trading techniques?-Mergers and acquisitions, corporate reorganizations, stock buybacks, corporate liquidations (eg, when the assets of the company are worth more than what the company trades for on an exchange), stubs (leftovers from a merger or spinoff), etc.-Where does he find them? The NEWS! WSJ, MSN, Google! Good luck!-Overall, the book is rather light on HOW to actually make these finds that Buffett did in his earlier trading years. Even a cursory check through ChatGPT or another search will show that most of these methods either aren’t easy to do these days or, even worse, can’t be done at all.-Mary Buffett is basically playing off of her name change from having been married to Buffett’s son for twelve years.

  Package delayed! I hope they didn’t lose my passport! “Unfortunately, we made an errorsorting your package. We’re trying to correct it, and we’re committed to delivering yourpackage as requested. We’re sorry for any inconvenience or delay.” Cleaning up and getting rid of some stuff… if not now, then when? Found some books I started reading years ago… 1Q84 and Shantaram! Big books! Automation success… but there’s a problem with my transcripts: they’re too long!-Automatically copies transcript to Google Drive-Synched Google Drive Workout in! But slow going! “The audio blog is the trust engine, not the product engineDaily audio documentation builds an unusually deep parasocial relationship — but itdoes not convert unless you build explicit bridges. Every 5–7 episodes should contain anatural, narrative-embedded mention of a specific paid product or service. Not an adbreak.

  No go Toronto, why go if I don’t have to? … Because what else are you going to do? Aaaaand… maybe I could take the bus out West instead? Silver coins buy and sell, how’s the market? Interesting that Gatewest Coin needs to shuffle the price on Saturdays to cover their costs. Allergies a gone, or are they? Off to the Greek market for dinner. And Lingopie, how is it? Can you build it yourself? No. Interesting features and far more than you’d want to program on your own. And maintain! Donate to the show!
