Glad that you were in the neighborhood at such a beautiful time. Even the crustiest old-timers say the colors & density , w/little wind & gorgeous sky, is truly one for the books. A needed balm, maybe.

Buttigieg on John Sununu:
"The guy actually is the part owner of a gold mine in Azerbaijan selling critical minerals to China — awfully different line of business than what they're doing with the chicken tenders at the Puritan."

I’m enjoying two things:
1. The Pope, a deeply educated man in mathematics and the humanities, crafts a thoughtful warning about the delicate balance between human creativity and machines.

He’s on another level, and the tech world is not ready for it.
YUGE NEWS: President Trump just Announced that he will be giving 20 million Seniors Citizens a One Time Payment of 90 Dollars.
They can use this money for whatever they want. Buy a New Car. Take a Vacation. Or Eat. It’s totally up to them.
