    I’ve been running about 25% S&P Index Funds, 25% Small Cap Funds, 15% Euro/Pacific Stocks, 20% in moderate growth, and 15% in relatively stable bonds and such. It’s a pretty aggressive portfolio, but I might be willing to shift a bit of the moderate growth into some small cap funds.

    He tried to detox just a while back and I don't think it was overly successful. Apparently he drinks pretty heavily, as much as two bottles of wine in a night.

    Trump said he wasn’t too worried about these guys for Harris since both the guys’ wives ad the wives’ lovers were voting for him.

    Thanks Cathy. As I mull it over, my best guess is that the biopsy was a false negative. Or if it was a true negative, then he happened to have other cancers anyway. When the surgeon removed his spleen, he was going to euthanize if he found cancers on other organs. He did find small bumps on the liver, but they were small enough that he just cut them off.

    I don't know how much real hope there ever was. I suspect the 30% chance of being cancer-free was wishful.

    @Jolly said in USPS:

    I can see where EVs make sense for city delivery.

    Agree. Something like that (and school buses and garbage trucks) seem to be perfect. They are not in operation all the time. They have a large downtime for recharging. They do a lot of starts and stops, etc.

    In Taiwan, most of the mail is delivered on motorcycles. Easy to maneuver, etc.

    @Jolly Interesting. I did not know that.

    A friend was looking at putting it in at the used house they bought. The company told him that if it were a new house, it would be worth looking at, but for a revamp, not worth it.

    Our choices reflect our ages (and where we grew up) more than the quality or quantity of humor in movies.

    I have been intubated one time. Woke up restrained and still intubated. One nurse tried to hold my hand and calm me down while another put me under again.

    God Bless her, I almost broke her hand. Literally. She showed my wife her hand and I had clamped down hard enough to bruise most of her hand and some of her fingers.
