The deer fawn triplets are growing

The triplets appeared when I was on a call with my colleagues in Japan. I had to pause, standup, click and send them a pic. It was good to see they are growing and all appear to be healthy. It will be good to get back to Japan after many many years away.

DJ and I toured the CNN studios in Atlanta Sunday.

I almost bought a house last week in Duluth. I wasn't quite fast enough on the trigger. Someone else got the deal a few hours ahead of me. There are some really good deals out there when you are bottom fishing like me.

Maybe you are already dealing a lot with real estate but if not: the other day I read the bestseller 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad' where it's a lot about real estate as a good way of investing. I don't know anything about real estate but it was kind of an eye opener because -as it seems- real estate, when bought for your own use instead of for renting it out and for making money off of it, is actually rather a liability than an asset. Kind of turns the whole picture upside-down because one always hears 'your own house is your best asset'. Surely that can be true, but it seems as if in most cases it's rather a liability (in the meaning of a big to huge financial burden), at least for many to most.

Contrary investing and true liquidation value.

One of the truly unique things about real estate is land. Land cannot be depreciated. Why is that? Can a particular structure on a piece of land make the land more valuable?

Investment in a car has a terrible ROI except when you take into account that the car is getting you to work, right?

As usual I feel I am being cryptic. I really don't mean to be.

Summer Heat and Exotic Curry

-
Image
It has been hot and humid. We usually get some breaks in the heat and humidity in the summer. Not this year. The relativity humidity barely edged below 60% in the last month. We don't get dew on the lawns. We got heat instead. I think the heat and humidity is why I got a summer cold. I am mostly resting this weekend. One of the things we do when we travel is get flavorings and spices. We broke into some curry this past week that we obtained in a market in Turkmenistan last year. It was good. It was made in Russia and distributed out of Belarus. They translated into Kazakh and Armenian. I liked the taste and the label.

4th of July - Camping, Deer Babies, Wake Boarding

We have had a new resident. Actually there several new residents. A deer decided to have her kids in the back yard. They are here often. I can see them from my Zoom Room, so I apologize if I seem a little distracted sometimes when I am on a video call. We went canoeing and camping in South Carolina. We were exploring without a lot of planning, so you get what you expect- adventure and discovery. We stopped by the Tallulah Gorge lookout. When I rode my motorcycle through the area in the early 80's, I vowed I would come back. And I have come back-- again. I ate my traditional moon pie there as well. The Tesla is a great camper. Charge the battery, run the AC and enjoy the filtered ventilation with a nice entertainment system. Crazy. The paddleing wasn't that good. We found ourselves in Lake Keowee. The campground was good if you speak Spanish, and only enjoy power sports on small boats. I am a bit disturbed by the new trend of wake boarding. Instead of skiing being towed by...

My sister took a picture of an iceburg near Greenland that looks a little like a cat, our white cat, Jewel. I been using the M998 without doors and the back curtain rolled up. Much better in summer. Redneck A/C. The Moon, Jupiter and Venus in the early Morning, using nothing but my cell phone to take the pic.

The Beginnings of Fall

I had to chuckle and hassle the guys at work as they were doing some landscaping and trimming around the office. They actually used a 40 ton off-road articulated dump truck for hauling brush. They also used a 40,000 pound bucket loader in lieu of a skid steer. They were using the tools they had available. A campsite i enjoyed recently on the banks of Lake Allatoona.
