Upper Peninsula Michigan and Auction Win Outcomes

I was up in Wisconsin and the UP (upper peninsula) in Michigan. It was a lot of driving after launching/landing in Appleton WI. I got an item off the bucket list by driving across the "Mighty Mac". Altough it was built in the late '50s. It is still the longest suspension span in the Northern hemisphere. It is a crazy long bridge with a crazy long suspension span. It was good to see the bridge in context of the seemingly endless forests of Northern Wisconsin and Michigan. The culture in the two haves of Michigan are noticibly different as you might expect. Great time meeting with folks both in WI and MI. The tractor I won in auction, seems to have paid off. This time I beat the odds. It was a really good deal. I have the "no-key, non-running, may have hydraulic problems, unknown hours" -auction win, running well with minimal cost and time. I have some more tweaks, maintenance and minor fixes but the major risks are gone.

On Dec 8, 2018 I had one of the most vivid dreams I have ever had. I woke up and wrote down as much as could as the details raced away. The first sentence: "It was about reality and the economy and how nothing was real". Recently, I have been chatting with a friend in Venezuela about the realities of the current economy. It is almost unbelievable. Free gasoline, but he categorizes people as different types of animals. You don't see this shit in the news. It is all propaganda. It has always been propaganda. To me, the following video talks about the link of tangible belief and the mathematics. Certainly, we are very very close to an understanding of the "Theory of Everything". It was good viewing for me, clearly shot in SoCal.
