Update on my coffee today.

Looks like a there's now a barbeque lunch next. He is going to sign up to use the complexes barbeque area and he's doing the cooking.

Asked him what I should bring and he said nothing. He said that when he asked a lady to lunch or dinner he pays and in this case cook.

Something is going on in DC!

I checked with Green Dot and they are trying to make sure people have their cards. They are expecting the next stimulus soon. Even my brother's bank sent him a text to make sure to contact the bank if his card is lost.

I know the President is ready to move forward with or without the republicans. How fast can it go through now, I don't know. But the banks seem to think fast.

Keep getting a text from Green Dot.

It says: Green Dot: Prepare for a 3rd stimulus payment. Have your debit card in hand. Lost your card? Request a replacement here: bit.ly/3pnDkKj STOP 2 cancel

Is anyone else getting messages like this from their bank? Is there some sort of news about the stimulus that I've missed?

Have they stopped the day traders from taking to each other....

on Reddit yet ?

Man, I wish I had the money to join into the fun right now. Read some tweets saying that they are blocking people from taking on Reddit to stop them from doing this again. Is that true? I hope not. I don't really do readit but I would love to follow the conversation!

My take of Biden's first week..

I've been at ease even with the stress of Covid. Knowing that an adult is handling the government has been a relaxing change. So has not having to watch the news like I did before is a relief as well.

So how has DU been doing during this first week?

Water is now on Wall Street?

I thought it was a joke at first, being A Late Show and all. But I went looking in on it (see article below). Sadly it's not.




California Water Futures Begin Trading Amid Fear of Scarcity

Water joined gold, oil and other commodities traded on Wall Street, highlighting worries that the life-sustaining natural resource may become scarce across more of the world.

Farmers, hedge funds and municipalities alike are now able to hedge against -- or bet on -- future water availability in California, the biggest U.S. agriculture market and world’s fifth-largest economy. CME Group Inc.’s January 2021 contract, linked to California’s $1.1 billion spot water market, last traded Monday at 496 index points, equal to $496 per acre-foot.

The contracts, a first of their kind in the U.S., were announced in September as heat and wildfires ravaged the U.S. West Coast and as California was emerging from an eight-year drought. They are meant to serve both as a hedge for big water consumers, such as almond farmers and electric utilities, against water prices fluctuations as well a scarcity gauge for investors worldwide.

That Ohio is in play for another DEM Senate seat as Senator Rob Portman (R) announced he is NOT running for re-election?

Anyone else heard this?
