The first half of the year has wrapped up, and we’re still waiting for that recession. Meantime, the dollar is strong, as I just discovered in Japan — nearly 150 yen to the greenback. Seeing the grandkids last week was (almost) a bargain! That’s the good news. Now for the dumb stuff, and June certainly delivered.
This is a brilliant summary! Love your precise thumbtacking of the issue! "According to the study, one reason for the poor financial performance of Barbie and Ken may be that attractive people tend to take greater risks because they’ve gotten away with murder their entire lives. (Seriously, beautiful people are less likely to get arrested and convicted.)"
Well, Target should be picking up some good business his week (as soon as you find the correct aisle.) and California! Whoa! You keep reminding me why I moved. Great news this week, Jane!
Well written and good selection of stories. I enjoyed the post and that is a nice photo of you and your granddaughter, she looks like she really enjoyed your visit.
Well, geez, a simple Google search of “Target vibrator” showed dozens of products, many of them pink. “Not available to ship.” So you have to go in store.
Hi Jane, I always enjoy your reporting and this edition of Wells $treet was another winner. After reading your story about "Open Season for Thieves," I am puzzled by one thing. Why are you still living in California? Seriously, what is is that makes you disregard all of the craziness and dangerousness of every day life in that state? (Note: saying I want to be near my kids/grandkids is not a rational excuse.) The USA Today just published an article by Swapna Venugopal Ramaswamy titled "A move from California to Texas could save a million dollars!" The article explains how the cost of living in so much lower in Texas than California. Now, I'm not recommending you move to Texas, but gee-whiz, other than the weather, what is California holding against you to keep you there? Polaroids? Emails? You travel a lot for your stories, so moving your home base to another state, so long as it has an airport, should be a no brainer. {This is NOT an angry message, please understand I can't see why anyone would want to live there. I'm just curious. Thanks!}
Great stories! Loved the Goldman Sachs and snarky lawyer tid bits!! Stay away from the beautiful, air brushed and chicklet teethed Financial Planners - HA!! Hope you find your toys at Target - I see another story! HA! Beautiful picture. Happy 4th, hope you experience a bang!!
"You may recall that shoplifting in California has skyrocketed since thefts under $950 were reclassified as misdemeanors in 2014. Police are too busy to care because they’re dealing with a fentanyl crisis and the homeless..." Hmm...I wonder if the cities of the U.S. have figured out that by de-criminalizing things like, you know----public drug abuse, and then de-criminalizing, well--you know, crime--they've concocted the perfect recipe for....well....this. Nah. Probably not.
Putting the crib back was the Real Genius part of that vid. Also, yes, live shots are beacons to drunk assholes, which is why I hate covering sports. Also also, Happy Birthday Jane's grandchild! Time flies!
wow!
so - ah - what's that magic Target isle #? the wife wants to know........

Apologies for the three or four typos. I think I caught them all. I blame jet lag.
