Hello and hugs from Nancy and me to the beautiful Ms. Tammy. We've gotta go back to that restaurant; maybe we'll take Voltaire when he flies into town.

The startling news about Intel apparently abandoning Rambus should make us ponder that there are no sure things in investing or life. What better example than the storied Titanic. But there was more to it: Even with all the recent publicity, one aspect of the sinking of the Titanic is often overlooked. The story of the Titanic focuses on the passengers, but the great ship also carried cargo. On her maiden voyage she carried 30,000 jars of Heilman's Mayonnaise destined for its second port of call, Vera Cruz. At the time, mayonnaise was unknown in Mexico. Much publicity had been given the imminent arrival of this condiment, and it was being wildly anticipated by Mexicans everywhere. You can understand that the sinking was viewed as a national disaster. The occasion has been commemorated ever since as the Sinko de Mayo.
