Geez Bob... how'd we get from heart attacks getting out of bed to the SOTU speech, GW, energy policies and golf???!

I only heard half of the SOTU and turned off the TV when the spin masters began flappen their gums.

As you well know, I work in oilpatch, so please don't feel obligated to tell me about what's going on in it. And as I've told you, a great deal of my investible assets are invested in various energy stocks and pipeline MLPs.

I hear fairy tales every day from all sides of almost every political issue. I prefer reading fairy tales to and with kids when I volunteer in my local elementary school 2 days a week as a reading tutor (though my daughter is fully grown and graduated from college and on her own).

As for your wish to pass on after a great round of golf, I wish you luck living where you do and unable to play golf a significant percentage of the year. Sounds like your goal is not to die during winter -- maybe you should move out here where you can play year 'round.

I have no idea how the agribusinesses in the central valley are doing right now -- I haven't been through there in a year or so, but unemployment in San Diego Co. is down to 6.4 %. According to: research.stlouisfed.org unemployment is about 8% in your area.

I did not realize that I was part of an elite group simply because I live on the Pacific Coast, but if you say so, it must be true -- from God's mouth to your ear.

One thing I know for sure, the State of California has not followed or implemented a single policy of mine in over 25 years -- through one bad administration after another, regardless of party in power. Nobody in gov't. (local, state or national) listens to me. I'm not a bazzillionaire super PAC contributor.

But I'd still rather live here than move back to Oxford, OH -- but if I had to move back to Ohio, I'd pick Oxford. A lot less lake effect snow and a couple hundred miles southwest of you... <ggg>
