Is the song “California Dreaming” somehow connected to power outages that happen frequently here?

Just wondering…

Pretty badly jet lagged - coffee wakes you up, is just such an overstatement 🥱

@ktosopl Did LASIK a year ago. I was putting it on hold for many years from fear of messing my eyes. The short term inconveniences were dryness, and irritation. I also experienced halos, which in the short term were terrible (on every screen) but gradually improved by 95+%

I like when I make educated decisions. It took me a while, studied the investopedia every night (missing on family moments -worth it) and yesterday pressed the button and bought my first fund.
Oh boy! I am 0.31$ wealthier today, and already looking on ways to spend it.
