upGood Morning Breeze, No Doubt about that. My Sister attended Cornell in Utica NY, then Berkeley in Ca, then UCLA Ca. She now volunteers for the County Democrat Party. She supported Hillary, Joe, and now Kamala. My parents wouldl spin in their grave if they knew that. Democrats are so interested in getting everyone to vote, yet my sister would not take my mom to vote. A neighbor picked her up and took the 90 year old to the voting location. Her head has been screwed on wrong after all of those years of liberal indoctrination. Those types think that if you have been successful in creating personal wealth, you have cheated some one or broken the law. All of her friends are highly educated and reek of jealousy when they see someone who has made his own money via hard and passionate work. Universities and their highly self opinionated professors, blow so much smoke up the students butts that they are often ruined for life. It is very sad to see. My sister tested out in high school to have a very high IQ. My parents subsequently wanted only the best universities and really spent a huge amount of their income to enable her attendance. I on the other hand got b+'s and A's but excelled in sports. My Dad who was in ROTC during college was immediately drafted upon graduation. He was in Patton's Third Army for 4 and 1/2 years. He was a Captain upon an honorable discharge after the war and was decorated with 2 purple hearts and 5 Bronze Stars. He insisted that I attend a Military Academy. I was chosen to be one of Wisconsin's two Primary Candidates for the Air Force Academy. I was ordered to show up at Zion IL Great Lakes Naval Station for a physical. Being a Jock I tested out with flying colors EXCEPT I failed 8 of fourteen color blind tests. They thought i was trying to flunk out and held me there for several days and retested me. I blew the same 8 tests and washed out. I really wanted to go to Madison. I reapplied to GMI and was accepted for the next year. After having attended a Badger football game in Camp Randall many years later, I knew my Dad was correct. I never would have graduated from Madison. Way too many great looking blondes and beer at every corner. I wouldn't have stood a chance, far too many distractions. LOL If you have time, could you update the chart on XOM. It looks to be ready to pop up over the top line of sideways triangle that peaked out at its high of $123.75 on April 12th 2024. Thanks for all you do here! Bob
