A third of a century ago, having done some travelling, I decided the best places on Earth to live were San Diego, Auckland or Tauranga, Perth [western Australia] and the west of London. <Yes, a man never tires of London. > Living in London though would require having sufficient money to not have to work and to have a really nice house out west but handy to London and Heathrow, for easy access to flying to anywhere on Earth for sunshine, beaches and what have you. San Diego has become perhaps a bit too crowded now. La Jolla was a pleasant little village back then [sort of]. Auckland has gone gangsta. Tauranga has gone a bit too Gold Coast [Oz] but it's still pretty good. I haven't been back to Perth. I visited a friend who has achieved perfection - a super nice house in Virginia Water and a really nice house on The Mall, Mount Maunganui [NZ]. He spends summer here and summer there. I observe that TJ is scoping out Summer Palace lifestyle in France, away from the clamouring peasant hordes who are one step behind him. France is pretty good. Unfortunately, London is not as genteel as it was, with VVV being thin on the ground though plenty of Victorian monuments are still standing, albeit with some erosion due to acid rain and pigeon poop. In 1974, people still queued nicely at bus stops and the IRA had only started their murderous horrors. One could walk up to 10 Downing Street door. Kiwis would drive back to NZ overland via all those now-impassable war-torn countries, catching a ship from Singapore. Perhaps the 2020 reglaciation and mass migrations from the north will open new and des rez cities in places which are at present desert or close to it. I visited a friend yesterday in said bucolic countryside, namely Cheddington, and he showed me where the ice shelf ended during the last reglaciation, just a few kilometres north. Brrrr..... That's not far from permanent ice. Another 1000km or 2000 km would be better. Mqurice

Market rolling over with algorithms squeezing people as it slides towards the close - no saving bounce in sight. Bail bail bail. I am going to buy, but am in no rush at all ; manana, or maybe next week or month. Am also thinking to sell silly gold - atavistic Aztecs must be punished for their barbarian thinking. I'll have to check my sooths to see how far off track they are - though I admit and commented at the time that with the MADness of , for example, $2 trillion being considered just an uptick on the credit card, soothsaying for gold had become subject to great volatility. But you will see my sooths right on the moving average. Mqurice
