I had a coronary artery calcium (CAC) score image and report done yesterday. As you may or may not know, I've either been strict one meal a day, and/or a strict carnivore for probably a decade. I've had high cholesterol all that time as well - around 300-350 - which is why my doctor made me do this test.
My CAC score came back this evening:
LMA: 0
LAD: 0
LCx: 0
RCA: 0
Other: 0
Overall score: 0
Coronary Age: <35 years old (I'm 49 years old)
I'm not saying anyone should do what I do. I was genuinely scared to do this and to get the results. I'm very relieved to see that I'm without arterial calcification, and healthy AF.
But I thought I would share.

Thinking you can just ‘roll over’ your 401(k) into whatever account looks good is one of the fastest ways to accidentally gift the IRS thousands you’ll never see again.
Too many people 50+ are finally ready to simplify their money, only to get slammed with an unexpected tax bill because they moved things the wrong way.
🔕Not all rollovers are created equal. Do it wrong and you could trigger taxes and penalties immediately.
The good news? This is completely avoidable!
Before you touch that old retirement account, do these three things first: Confirm whether you’re doing a direct rollover (safest) or indirect (danger zone).
Make sure the new account is set up for the exact same tax treatment — traditional to traditional, Roth to Roth.
Run the numbers with a CPA or trusted advisor who understands 50+ retirement transitions, not just a random banker.
You’ve worked hard for this money. Don’t let a simple paperwork mistake turn your ‘I’m finally safe’ moment into an expensive surprise. Slow down, get it right, and sleep better knowing your retirement income is protected — not penalized.

I kind of assumed it would end on Monday, maybe not?

Tesla is making a huge bet - discontinuing Model S and X to make robots? Here's my bet, documented for history - Tesla tanks. This is the beginning of the end. Far too optimistic on a grandiose vision.
