Indeed. I park my yacht along side Larry Ellison’s. Only he has money to put gas in his.

You are correct, sir!

With your knowledge of the market you must be fabulously wealthy!

It’s not often that one sees either a reference to Drew Pearson or use of the word “senescence.”

Funny you should use the word today. The science section of Tuesday’s NYT featured a story about a Harvard mycologist (study of fungi), who is studying why the species known as Armillaria bulbosa (“humongous fungus”) appears not to senesce, with possible implications for humans someday. In Michigan, there is a 38-acre, 1,000-ton Armillaria that is thought to be 1,500 to 10,000 years old. There is even an annual “Humongous Fungus festival in Crystal Falls, Michigan.

Guess all this is too late for Pete Stark.

Which is better, the chicken or the feathers? Reminds me of an old joke, but this being a family blog precludes me from repeating it.

So, when the market goes up, it’s just normal ebb and flow. But, when it goes down, it’s Obama’s fault, right?

Stark has been towed to the mothball fleet, but why Woolsey did not vote I do not know.

Isn’t he still a member of congress?

I see him listed as “Stark (D): Not Voting”
He and Woolsey were the only 2 California members not voting.

Any thoughts or explanations?

Don’t spend it yet. Up one day, down the next. Euphoria followed by despair.

Chicken one day.

Feathers the next.
