I wrote a while back (here) about jumping into the pool and ruining my Jabra Enhance 500 hearing aids. I got a new pair for free under the warranty, and have been using them for a week. I notice that I don’t hear speech as clearly, but I wanted to give it some time before […]

I’ve been doing some thinking over the past few days. I’m retired – got nothin’ else to do. I thought about the recent posts I’ve written.

I was watching a YouTube video by Hugh Hewitt called Hugh’s “Hierarchy of Trouble” and why you should flee Fidelity Investments. My wife mentioned to me that we may want to consider leaving Fidelity because of this clip she watched. She admitted she didn’t watch the whole clip but I said I’d look into it.

It’s not a trick question. I’m interested in hearing from readers. Yesterday, I posted about Elon Musk. I tried to remain neutral on my assessment, but it is hard not to admire all that he has accomplished and appreciate the value that SpaceX has brought to the once-stagnant US space program, and all that Tesla
