But on the edge of town, drills were driven out of his mind by something else. As he sat in the usual morning traffic jam, he couldn't help noticing that there seemed to be a lot of strangely dressed people about. People in cloaks. Mr. Dursley couldn't bear people who dressed in funny clothes - the getups you saw on young people! He supposed this was some stupid new fashion. He drummed his fingers on the steering wheel and his eyes fell on a huddle of these weirdos standing quite close by. They were whispering excitedly together. Mr. Dursley was enraged to see that a couple of them weren't young at all; why, that man had to be older than he was, and wearing an emerald- green cloak! The nerve of him! But then it struck Mr. Dursley that this was probably some silly stunt - these people were obviously collecting for something... yes, that would be it. The traffic moved on and a few minutes later, Mr. Dursley arrived in the Grunnings parking lot, his mind back on drills.

Giving My Girl A Fancy Ride

My last major purchase for my graduating daughter was a BMW 535 rental for her prom.

She turned away as she put that awesome car into gear. Of course she couldn't let me see how happy she was too have her own ride to the prom.

I could see that she was surprised when I rolled up with it and gave her the keys. Being that happy to provide her made me so proud. 

From the pictures I saw and her tales of the night, she was the only one with a 2022 BMW 5 series.

Surviving On A Fixed Income

Lose money is drying up. And interest rates are finally going up to get a grip on inflation. In my own ideals I would like to see interest rates jacked up even more per meeting. The Federal Reserve Chairman, Jay Powell has went into this with a wimpier and a lame ass .50% basis points. I was hoping he'd started the festivities at .75%.

Being on a fixed income has its embedded limitations. However, I've been lucky to earn enough in my retirement funds to take care of monthly living expenses. The Fidelity brokerage account I transferred my stocks into is bleeding a bit but eventually we should be heading to the upside soon enough.
