You've reminded me that we probably owe the preschool money.

My kids are 33 and 30, both employed, but both still need some $$$. Welcome to the 2020s!

Re: Implanting Bill Gates's Micro-chips In Brains For Over 20 Years!

Have I told you lately how much I love this guy's weekly summations of Fed court opinions - https://reason.com/volokh/2021/10/01...decisions-126/ ? An example -

Quote:
Douglas Adams' fictional detective Dirk Gently believed in the "fundamental interconnectedness of all things." So he would have loved this lawsuit by the City of Oakland, Calif. against Wells Fargo, alleging that its discriminatory lending practices caused higher default rates, which in turn triggered higher foreclosure rates, which in turn drove down the assessed value of properties, which in turn led to reduced property-tax revenue and increased municipal expenditures. At the very least, he probably would have liked it more than the en banc Ninth Circuit, which takes a less holistic view of proximate causation.

Speaking of rugrats--I'm not really spreading this on other social media quite yet--but after ten years of trying, unglodly amounts of money, lots of awesome science, and a very fertile woman from Florida who gave us 41 eggs (12 fertilized on ice), I'm pregnant with a boy due in March! 17 weeks pregnant right now.

A good hunk of y'all are sending them off and we're just getting started.
