Places like Shanghai and Seoul have excellent subways within 1/2 mile of most people, yet they rank low. Nothing is wrong with Paris. The 15 minute city concept bears little resemblance to real life. Let's move past this faddishness. www.economist.com/graphic-deta... From The Economist

I accidentally soaked my Chinese cell phone in the ocean. Don't feel back for me, I visited the ocean. Then, I ordered a new replacement Chinese cell phone just ahead of tariff announcements. It will be interesting to watch the shipment tracker. When might the Chinese cell phone arrive?

Alaskan Airlines is flying to Hawaii landing at 11:45 pm next week, Flight 801. But, the runway closes at 10 pm. How's this going to play out?

My view on how future Democrats win.... Kamala pro-freedom framing is exactly right. 1. Should be stronger in support of LGBT-- demonstrate conviction. 2. Can't be pious. (e.g., anti-Walmart, anti-car culture). 3. Leaders can/should publicly disagree with both fringes. 4. Be the adults.

In 2025 (less than 30 days away), PayPal will start selling your transaction history for targeted advertising. I very highly recommend logging into your account and going to Settings > Data & Privacy > Personalized Shopping. If you're reading this, turn that off RIGHT NOW before you forget.

My travel hero, Arthur Frommer, died today. He became famous for bringing Europe to Americans at $5 per day. Great advice from his blog helped me see the world. www.frommers.com/blogs

There will be no questioning the infallible leader! It's nice of MAGA Republicans to try to make former Soviet citizens like me feel at home in America, but they don't have to go this far!

I've long loved local music. This week, I'm on my third new release book by excellent writers that I happen to personally know. Amazing talent is in my backyard. www.goodreads.com/book/show/21...
