Thoughts from thirteen years ago (but still relevant) on aging and retirement.
I don’t feel old, and I’m not ready either financially or psychologically to retire. There is still a lot to accomplish in space, and things are just starting to get interesting, with possibilities for things I’ve been working to make happen for over four decades. And I’m still hoping for rejuvenation.
Still nutty as ever, but even they don’t want to see Newsom as president.

California is America’s shadow self.
Via Robert Shibley, who has an elegant solution to the problem: “1. Capitalize the schools to loan enough money for 4 years of student loans. 2. No selling the loan notes – let them loan the money and collect it. The end. What do you wanna bet that college suddenly gets rigorous and cheap?”
I’d take that bet.
They just didn’t stop Covid.
The great strategic opportunity?
We could do worse, and probably will.
This will…complicate…Newsom’s presidential bid.
This could be huge. And if it’s true, it might also partly validate Thomas Gold’s theory that natural gas is abiotic (and also unlimited).
“Why I am against it, and you should be, too.”
Regular people can’t afford them any more.
I’ve never bought a new car, and there’s no way I’d do it at these crazy prices. At some point, though, you’d think that one of the automakers would go after this unserved market, and drive prices down with some competition.
