The forty-year down-trend - of shorter and shorter Fed Chairs - just broke aggressively higher...

Will rates follow?

It’s a rare day when America’s beleaugered minimum-wage earning fast food workers book a victory in their struggle to sustain their labor-market dominance before the machines inevitably take over.

But as McDonald’s, Pizza Hut and other fast-food and fast-casual chains experiment with order kiosks and other technology to automate parts of the food-service process, one small chain that hoped to disrupt with industry by embracing automation is throwing in the towel.

Fats Domino, an icon of my time
Paul Craig Roberts

I used to listen to him play in the French Quarter of New Orleans, Al Hirt’s club, I think, on Bourbon St.  Somewhere I have Fats’ autograph.  Used to talk to him after he played.

I watched this over at Irish’s Blog and started to think about ‘date night’.

My wife and I go out on date night every couple of weeks. It’s not always big and fancy, for example last weekend we snuck out of the house to our neigborhood pub for drinks and a bit of dinner after I got home from work.

The place was packed. I’m a people watcher so as we are chatting I’m looking about and watching other people interact.
