Diatarily speaking, I am sure that butter is healthy. It's just that, after watching the film, Last Tango in Paris, with Brando, I have been off butter for years. Still, your suggested recipe sounds great!

Please also consider the carbon footprint of a pint of Ben and Jerry's ice cream when shipped to Thailand! Just due to the extra carbon pollution, I am sure that neither Ben nor Jerry would want to see you eating their ice cream, so far from their factories.

Eating ice cream by the pint is the surest way to triple bypass surgery. My father ate ice cream by the pint. He endured bypass surgery twice in his life. I don't eat ice-cream. Instead, I just peel a few bananas and store them in the freezer. Please stay away from foods containing sugar. Also, eating ice cream makes one thirsty. And it rots your teeth, if you might still have any left.

Tink too much (the 5th cause)

Absurdism Eugene Ionesco Rhinoceros Too much Reality

15 January 2021 - Nature Article: "COVID curbed carbon emissions in 2020 — but not by much. Despite sharp drops early in the pandemic, global emissions of carbon dioxide picked up in the second half of the year, new data show. The aviation sector was hit hard by the pandemic in 2020, contributing to decreases in global carbon emissions. After rising steadily for decades, global carbon dioxide emissions fell by 6.4%, or 2.3 billion tonnes, in 2020, as the COVID-19 pandemic squelched economic and social activities worldwide, according to new data on daily fossil fuel emissions. The decline is significant — roughly double Japan’s yearly emissions — but smaller than many climate researchers expected given the scale of the pandemic, and is not expected to last once the virus is brought under control." We are still on the path of exponential growth.

Probably, there was never a better rendition than this one by Steve Winwood...

Punning seems to be our last true pleasure in life, which costs nothing and does no harm. More power to you in your punning.

Land is wealth. The land had been in his family for generations. His largest expenditure was to purchase a sawmill. This guy is extremely wealthy, even though he will never drive a Bentley.

Great minds think exactly alike, in this case. The writing was on the wall, since the 1960s and '70s. Strangely enough, however, Paul Ehrlich had a daughter, as I recall.

Speaking strictly selfishly, I must admit that the past three years have suited me. In fact, again speaking selfishly, I would enjoy another back-to-back three-year pandemic. Bring it on! But, in fact, the past three years have hugely and negatively affected the education and the wellbeing of our next generation. Some children who might have chosen to pursue a more rigorous science curriculum have now been compelled to opt for the humanities, simply because they are not able to catch up after interpretation of their schooling. And, as we all know, the humanities is basically garbage, these days, unless one is also very strong in math and science, and computer information science. Scholarly articles have yet to be written concerning the magnitude of the disruption to our next generation. The loss of continuity in a child's education, combined with uncertainty, takes a toll. You might mistakenly believe that the pandemic is behind us now. However, there are 1.4 billion people in China who might argue differently. In conclusion, I am not above wishing you and everyone a happy 2022 Christmas. And, indeed, I recommend having one, if you can. More realistically, however, I would prefer to hedge on this, and wish everyone a very happy 2025 Christmas. If I were a selfish person, which I an not, then I would be, more or less, content. Reasonably speaking, I have maybe 5 or 10 more years to live, actuarially. Why should I care if your 2035 Christmas is bright? This is the question I have been asking myself. Because, if you don't care, then why should I? I once thought that the human race was something worth saving. Was I mistaken? Maybe we should ask the Chief Twit? Have you ever seen Musk, the Chief Twit, tear up when he speaks of his love of Mankind? It's not that I don't believe that Musk believes he is doing his best to save his beloved Mankind. I just believe that Musk doesn't understand himself well enough to understand his motivations. Sorry. I must suddenly stop here. I just received a call from The White House. It seems their Christmas goose is loose, again. There is really nothing in The White House that Mark Twain could not have fixed. In Thailand, many people are unable to pronounce the word, house. They leave off the se in house. Why Hou?

Sorry. But this topic is not logical. The author of this topic should return to his home country to get free medical care. What might happen if he soon begins to suffer the effects of dementia. Would he even be able to remember how to cash all of his pension checks? Anybody who has a monthly income of 6k should hire an estate planner. What's the big deal, anyway? It's not as if you expect to live another 50 years. My best advice is to go back to work. Employment will lessen the anxiety. Or, just move to New Hampshire and chill. Move to Saipan, maybe. You could live cheaply, do volunteer work, and spend most of your pension on health insurance. On Saipan, health care is not up to the standards of Houston, Texas. In Saipan, it's probably either aspirin or hospice care. You think too much. My advice for you is to buy a pet, either a cat, a dog, or both. Once you begin caring for your pet friends, you will worry less about irrational fears. At your advanced age, USD8,000.00 per month is plenty. If I were you, in all honesty, I would get a long-term super-cheap condo rental on a golf course, some gated community with nice neighbors and no roosters. And then, I would hire someone to teach me how to paint in oil or watercolor. Or move to the East Village and frequent the shops there, gorging on locks and bagels, cream cheese and pizza, and lox. The reason this topic makes no sense is that you have too much money and too much time on your hands after retiring prematurely. Why not go to Columbia, move into the student housing, and begin working towards your PhD? I happen to know that there are chicks on campus, mostly Social Sciences co-eds who love to get it on with men approaching 70. Above all, don't worry too much about what might never happen. Don't fret too much. Don't think too much. It's not you who should be worried. Save your worry for your grandchildren. It is they who face a far stickier wicket up ahead, than ever you met a tough row to hoe. Mark my words, the best laid plans of mice and men should be your watchword, IMHO.

Nova Scotia?

Yale, did you say? What are your thoughts about Yale?

In all fairness, this guy built his cabin himself over a period of three years. Please watch his entire series of videos to get the full story. He is no Sam Bankman-Fried of Palo Alto, by any means.

If only life were as simple as a few logs, woodworking tools, spruce trees, and Christmas lighting. Still, we have passed another year, since last Christmas.

Do you miss the ski runs, the piste, while in Thailand? Especially at Christmas holidays? But, one thing one never misses is the runs in Thailand, if one does not eat right. Always remember to cook your food well. And, keep your food refrigerated, as well. Use a food thermometer when cooking a turkey, for example.

Happy Christmas to all! To All a Goodnight... But not for long.

OK. Perfectly understandable. Each to his or her own taste, as you say. Take care.

Hey, Man.... I have the perfect solution for you. Instead of reading anything I write, rather you should begin watching this guy's YouTube Channel....which deals mostly with Arctic sailing. I guarantee that you will not be disappointed..... You will not be disappointed unless you like watching, exclusively, idiotic-sailing YT channels with IQ-Zero girls in bikinis. I have great admiration for a young man who is able to do what this man is able to do. This guy is a well-educated, extremely skilled, happy, and fairly self-actualized person. Also, this guy is, just, very likeable. It has taken me many years to find a sailing channel on YouTube half as fine as this. This YT channel is my gift to you, this Christmas morning. I can almost guarantee that you will not be disappointed. If you choose to binge-watch the whole channel, then here is the link: In my humble opinion, you can find a great deal of beauty viewing this single YT channel created by just one young man with very few resources. I was struck by what this man created with minimal outside support, except the support from friends. It ups to you. You can either read my comments in the future, Or, you can take some time out of your busy day to watch Alluring Arctic Sailing. Take your pick. I know what my choice would be. It ups to you. Best regards,

Such a waste. (pun) After 88 years of living, this has been this guy's 15 minutes of fame? Warhol did better when he painted a can of tomato soup. Kudos to Warhol for just painting it, rather than inserting it. Such restraint is admirable. Some artists go the whole hog.

The PRESUMPTION is incorrect. Please review the differences in meaning of these three+ important words : Assume Presume Surmise Suppose Etc. I once knew the difference between assuming and presuming. Dr. Livingstone, I assume. Dr. Livingstone, I presume. Dr. Livingstone, I surmise. Doctor, Doctor...

Proficiency and fluency. I think you meant. When correcting another, it's always best to be correct, oneself.

Maybe you have had too much Christmas cheer.
