- Happy Bastille Day everyone.
- A Marine Sergeant made a Youtube video inviting actress Mila Kunis to the Marine Corps Ball. She said on TV that she would go. Then Billy Bush reported on his show that she apparently has a conflict because of the shooting schedule of two movies. Going would be excellent publicity for Ms. Kunis, so I predict she will manage to adjust her shooting schedule. After all, Marines have shooting schedules too, in places like Iraq and Afghanistan, but some of them manage to attend the Corps’ annual birthday bash.
- A large portion of the home improvement we’re doing has now been completed. A large portion of the painting has only just begun. That part is my responsibility.
- I mentioned a short while ago that we were disputing who caused the accident in which I was involved last month. That’s not really accurate. I don’t think it was anyone’s fault. If it was someone’s fault, it would be a deliberate, not an accident.
- Phone Apps must be profitable. Amazon.com suggests more apps to me than it does music, and I buy more music, a lot more music.
- I don’t know if it was someone from the company, a cold-calling broker or a scammer, but despite the fact that I’m on the federal no call list, a telemarketer tried to sell me stock this week in Spectrum Blue Steel Corp. It’s a Philippines-based green energy and waste management company trading on the German stock exchange. I don’t know anything about the company, so I passed.
- Still, I may not be the best person to give investment advice. I am the guy who asked a couple of years ago if gold is such a good investment, why were companies spending so much money on TV advertising to sell the gold they have to you and me. Gold is probably double what it was when I said that.
