I mentioned in passing that I saw John Fogerty last Saturday, and he was amazing. I cannot emphasize enough that I can’t stand live shows. I hate the lines. The wait. And, most of all, the people. But in spite of all that, it was TERRIFIC. It was like getting teleported back to 1972, because he played ALL the CCR hits (to which he recently won all the rights). Probably the best live show I’ve ever, ever seen. God bless Mr. Fogerty!

Deodorant in Calcutta
Here’s a map I bet you’ve never seen: the percentage of homes with air conditioning. Only 5% in India — sweltering, sticky India. Yikes! Thank God for Carrier, am I right?

Counter-Trend Failing
I like this new trend: the bulls came out each day, prancing and giggling, trying to push the market higher, and then they get smacked across their freshly-shaven cheeks by reality. Look, Earth.

Still, they provide opportunities to short at good prices, so – – thanks, Mr. Lee! You’re a peach!
