I had cataract surgery a couple years ago. My eye doctor says I have a slight re-occurence in one eye of a cataract. Really? What did I spend all the money for? I guess it happens in 30% of the surgeries. My expert adviser, Grasshopper No.1 (who went to school for vision care), never indicated anything could go wrong. Where was she when I needed her?
You can tell the Milwaukee Brewers are going to have a lousy team (i.e. rebuilding) when they call a news conference to talk about Hank the dog. The social media has been accusing the Brewers of switching the “old Hank” for a “new Hank”. I know. I know. I’m being insensitive.
I have been picking up a few “over the air” TV stations lately. Each evening at 10:00 PM, one station is broadcasting “Johnny Carson reruns”. I know I am showing my age but some of guests were hilarious. David Brenner! Buddy Hackett. Maybe I will drop my cable network along Netflix, Amazon, and Vudu. Carson is free. Hey, another chance to get rich.
Back to Warren Buffett! He is worth over $50 billion. His wife sent him to the bank to pick up some cash. He withdrew $9,999 (essentially $10,000) several times. Banks have a mandate to report to the FBI cash transactions of $10,000. I guess it is to discourage drug dealers from laundering cash through our financial system. So Warren got a visit from two FBI agents investigating the transactions. It seems bizarre that our government would check out the billionaire. Here’s the bigger question! Where is his wife going to spend $10,000 in cash? I’d like to have such problems. Just saying!
Give Greg Gard the UW-Badger basketball coaching job. I’m impressed. I didn’t think he was the man. He is a Bo Ryan clone. It is hard for me to say but I was wrong.
Love,
Dad
