For many years, our dearly missed Epigonos and I would leave his home in Orange County around 10:00-11:00 AM on Friday of the event weekend, which has often coincided with Coachella. We always arrived in PS in less than 2 hours. Note: Epigonos never feared speeding tickets. 😋

Well shucks.....my prediction was off by 10 basis points...

What is this discount stuff? I'm more likely to be hit with a price increase between the first and second encounter. 🤣

I could not resist…did the math myself but arrived at a slightly different answer. For me it comes to 4.92% for November.  Bottom line: if you are thinking of buying…I would wait until November.

September CPI was released this morning. So I geeked out, crunched the numbers, and made my guess about the I-bond rate that will be announced November 1. So here's my estimate:
The I bond rate will be 5.17%, but that includes my wild guess that the fixed component will rise from 0.9% to 1.2%. I'll circle back to this in 3 weeks and evaluate the accuracy of my prophecy. 😋

That's my family too.  My mother died of cancer at a younger age; she was a tough southern woman, but I knew she always loved us and had our best interest at heart.  That's also when I realized just how much my Dad loved her.  His grief was sweet and painful to behold.  However, it transformed him from a rugged outdoorsy southern man into a very affectionate soul. He was huggy and "I love you" to all of us for the rest of his life. He certainly made it possible for me to care for him the last couple of years when he was significantly affected by senile dementia. I knew what kind of man he was, and that lightened the burden of the difficult days. I could not have done that if he had been a cold, disconnected father.
