Five Observations

 1.  Someone brought up the ordering of a pizza (XL)....paying $32 for a 3-topping situation.  That's crazy on pricing but another demonstration of the economy.

2.  Someone suggested on social media....renaming the state of Alabama into 'Lebanon' and Tennessee into 'North Lebanon'....to ensure we get a bigger chunk of federal funds.  I hate to say it....but one-third of the population of both states would be agreeable to this idea.

3.  I read a piece where someone offered up the idea....paying people to vote (not saying huge amount.....mostly like $100).  But in their vision, you'd have to show a social security card and ID....to have the money sent to your home address a month after the election.  It'd be a incentive for everyone to have a ID for voting, and make them happy about voting.  If the check could not be delivered?  Have it returned to the gov't.

4. Just a feeling....after Hurricane Milton passes through Florida.....I will bet that within four months....a majority of insurance companies will refuse to offer any deal within the state.

5.  Trump is showing up in central California on Saturday afternoon.  I'm already betting on a crowd of 100,000 showing up....with a quarter of them Hispanic.
