Two Days Later
From 31 Memes to Sit Back and Relax with by Ally Perry, msm.com:
Whiplash. The stock markets can’t decide if the Dems sweep was good or bad.
No major move on Iran yet. Hopefully, something promising is going on behind the scenes. I know this will probably be an unpopular opinion given the wipeout, but I believe the policies should not change much. I think they are sound and will bear fruit in the next two GDP quarter numbers. What’s the point of being more like the other guys? I don’t think anyone in the cabinet should be fired.
Headline from nypost.com: “Lockheed Martin paying $29.5M settlement after allegedly discriminating against white workers.” A different kind of reparations.
From NYP: “Private sector added 86,000 jobs in October, exceeded expectations: ADP.”
Giving a gift to China. From NYP: “Voters reject data centers in nearly 50 ballot initiatives during midterms in major setback to AI bigwigs.” Are we supposed to hope the doomsday predictions will swallow the red giant before the benefits are reaped?

For the first time in months I had a vivid dream. I was having lunch in a cafeteria and a woman I had a long-term interest in was seated nearby speaking to her boss, saying she’d broken up with her boyfriend. Since we’d had so many misfires, my interest had fallen to tepid. The mind never ceases to fascinate. It was so clear, without the usual whirl of dreams. I haven’t seen her since late 2008 and heard very little about her, although she finally found someone smart enough to marry her. She has stayed in my thoughts because at one time I believed she might be the mother of my children. 17 years older than her, I played it cool, hoping she would say the age difference didn’t matter. She never did and I interpreted it as doubt, although it is entirely possible that I wanted to remain free — not to mention my fear of relationships.
I picked up eye drops at Stop n Shop. The cost went down again. It’s gone from $30 to $25 the past six months. Thank you, DT.
Another entry from the above article:
I made the wrong choice today regarding the Anti-Inflation Book Shop, setting up at my usual nook. It started drizzling 15 minutes into the session. My thanks to local porter Robert, who donated at large paperback. I made use of the free time by beginning the process of transferring all my banking funds from HSBC to BOA, the latter a five-minute walk from my door. I will bus to the former’s only Brooklyn location tomorrow to request a wire transfer. I hope they don’t give me a hard time. The last draw was their complicating the website login. I would have stayed, despite the inconveniences and the money lost cashing checks at the local check-cashing service, but enough became enough. My thanks to the very young Amal for his guidance.
