Hmmm, a couple of endorsements for the comfort of Buicks.
I've always liked the appearance of Buicks, they look cool to me. I don't get the old-man-car reputation.
I'm only putting 5,000 miles per year on my 2006 Fusion. That should give it a 20 year life, but it will probably be looking mighty uncool near the end.

Saturday night, staying home, sipping wine, reading Barron's. This morning the paperboy delivered IBD instead of the WSJ, but I didn't bother to call in and complain. I was too busy today for much reading. This old apartment got a thorough deep cleaning today. I love a clean apartment!
I keep getting welts on my hips, right around the waistband of my underwear. It usually happens when I'm asleep, so it led me to believe it was bed bugs. However, they don't itch intensely and they disappear within two hours. And they also appear at other times besides when I'm asleep.
I've been googling like crazy looking for info and it appears that I may indeed be crazy. There is actually a neuroses where people believe they are being attacked by bugs and they manifest symptoms. I lived through a real bed bug infestation in a cheap apartment building a few years back, and it was a traumatizing experience. It's as if I have bed bug PTSD now. Most of the info I've found, though, points to simple urticaria, just run of the mill hives. I remember I used to get them as a child. Now if I can just get myself to relax and stop fretting about insect attacks.

Right here hughb. At home and contemplating a drink.I used to try to take advantage of Bob Stupak's deals. In the late '80s, I believe. His place later became the Stratosphere, I think. I won't go to Vegas now, not my thing.
He'd offer $800 in one play chips on 50-50 bets. And two nights stay. And some little gift as well and a free show.
The whole package cost $395. I looked at it as a business challenge.
You could bet the chips and if you were smart about it get about 50% back.
But transportation and food wasn't included. We went three times. We drove once, which sucked, and we took the bus twice. No, not a very fancy story.
I never did succeed in covering all costs, but the best trip only cost me about $20.
I was also a horse gambler for three days. A friend of mine was addicted to gambling, and he gave me enough interesting ideas to develop a system. I made money, but I hated going to the track. Not my thing.
These experiences and many others in money management helped me later in trading.
You gotta beat losses + costs. After that, it's just a matter of size.

My wife has PSTD of spiders. I never seen a bug in the house in my life. Her? She saw them all the time, she'd call me to kill the spider. I would say,"I'll get my spear and magic helmet." We used to act this out. Except in instead of rabbit I'd say "Spider".
