"All We Is" ?! WTF ! Edwin?
I have an aunt who just turned 99 the other day. We're all hoping she'll make it to 100, I think she is too. She's on Facebook every day, posting her daily smile. That's how we know she made it to another morning.

I was wondering if you were having a Senior Moment (momentary lapse of reason), and became concerned about your mental well being as you very, very rarely flub your posts !

"Senior moment" re: utilzation of a laptop's keyboard perhaps?

I`m 67 and on SS ( AFAIK a Senior), and only use a laptop since joining A/K in 2016, but in my case I`m a single digit (right hand middle finger) typist.
I prefer laptops enjoying their built in screen & UPS, especially helpful when the power drops out but my UPS backed up internet gateway remains operational.

Claude Levi-Strauss:
"It is only through difference that progress can be made. What threatens us right now is probably what we may call over-communication–that is, the tendency to know exactly in one point of the world what is going on in all other parts of the world. In order for a culture to be really itself and to produce something, the culture and its members must be convinced of their originality and even, to some extent, of their superiority over the others; it is only under conditions of under-communication that it can produce anything. We are now threatened with the prospect of our being only consumers, able to consume anything from any point in the world and from any culture, but of losing all originality."

This passage should end up in the "Modern music killing the old".
Might be the "key" to the above thread. Being original is tough when so many performers have strived to accomplish this through out the decades.

Make what you will of these data:
Nine (9) Electric Vehicle (EV) and/or EV Battery manufacturers that came to fruition via Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (SPAC) funding -- the scheme which companies use instead of the IPO route (usually) to dodge myriad disclosure requirements -- are losing enormous amounts of money ... share prices of four (4) of them have collapsed by over 90% from their highs, while the one that collapsed by the least has declined 60%. Doubtless the share price os some, if not several, will decline to ... $0.
