He died of pancreatic cancer. It’s a very hard cancer to beat. My former boss died of this type of cancer in his 50s.

I would love to live in Southern California; my favorite place in the whole world is Laguna Beach. I love going to the beach. There is nothing more relaxing and could have done it every day if we’d moved there. We actually thought about moving there but basically our life is here and my son has...

I’m with George on this one. Let’s save “sad” for something really sad.

There is a good possibility that a Republican might be the next governor because California runs a jungle primary meaning the top two vote getters, regardless of party, face each other in the general. Since there are several Democrats running they could split the vote and the two GOP candidates...

If you look at a map, that’s not really doable. The countries that need the oil are in Asia. That means that if the oil is coming from Kuwait you have to build a line that goes through Iraq, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan and Pakistani to get to the Arabian Sea...

Honestly, even though I wrote it, I’m not sure what I mean by “full in.”

I was not in favor of starting this war but right now it seems to have left Iran in a more favorable situation vis a vis the Strait than it was before. Someone said, maybe Richard Haas, you broke it, you own it, so maybe we need to go full in now. I’m not saying yes for sure but this isn’t a...

I guess to each his own but if I want to buy figures I don’t need AI to figure out if I have room.

I have to agree with Mike; there is a big difference between one lonely bomber and a country. The theory of mutually assured destruction is what kept the US and the USSR from destroying each other with nuclear weapons and it will probably work with these two combatants. Anything else is fair...

Why do you need AI to do that. Just place them on the shelf and see how you like them where you placed them.

What do you mean by AI generated?

Harold Holzer wrote a very good book about Lincoln at Cooper Union.

I’d say it’s definitely a Mexican infantryman but no idea as to maker.

Maritime law is a different kettle of fish than regular civil law. Early in my career I argued a couple of cases before a federal judge (and won by the way). Twice was enough.

Saw this great ad for an upcoming Metallica concert in Poland.

Technically, Lebanon is not an Iranian ally but Hezbollah, which has an outsized role in Lebanese politics, is. Be that as it may, Pakistan and Iran insist that Lebanon was included in the ceasefire but the US disagrees. I don’t know if they reduce these agreements to writing but that is a...

There are no winners here, as in most wars. The US Israeli relationship is probably damaged some and living/investing in places like Dubai or Qatar is not as safe as it used to be. Image of US, shaky already, is further damaged. I could go on but no need.

Usually the location of an item is where a seller is located. I’d ask if the seller is located in your town and perhaps offer to pick it up. On my auctions I offer local pickup.

It is never a good negotiating tactic to threaten and then back off. He doesn’t know how to negotiate as I’ve delineated earlier. The employees at the State Department are trained in how to negotiate, his son in law isn’t. These are complicated matters. The problem is that he’s probably fired...

Yes, but I’d like to think there is a difference between the US and a repressive regime like Iran.
