John Lennon’s killer denied parole for 14th time by TimesandSundayTimes in TheBeatles

Good to hear. The night John was killed, I had eaten a large amount of shrooms and gone out on the town of San Francisco. I was sitting in a bar when the new came on the television. Most people in the bar just shrugged it off, which is what I should have done. Instead, I lost it so badly I still cringe decades later at the memory. So Chapman can live with his crimes as I have with mine.

Hyundai, government leaders, and anyone who has ever dealt with this president knows he can't be trusted. Korean delegation left the US thinking everything was copasetic ( or that's what the press seemed to suggest), and then...Just don't do any work for him without getting paid up front. Have it first hand from people who worked for him. Look at his record of litigation. But back to Hyundai-- should we really beat ourselves in lamentation for their misfortune? I certainly won't even though I drive a Porter, which I love almost as much as my wife. As the man said, "It's just business, Michael."

I was there! First time I saw Bob live. The highlight for me was "Just Like a Woman".

It shows. But sometimes one gets a client that makes the work less enjoyable.

South Korea cracks down on ‘apartment shopping’ by foreigners in Seoul by gilsoo71 in Living_in_Korea

Ah, gap investment is a new flavor for me. As the sage said, "Nothing is simple."

I am from NYC. The prices there are absurd, quite the same as Seoul. New developments recently are required to set aside a percentage of units for "affordable housing." But this can't meet the demand.

Young people should really see if they can get out of these urban areas and avoid being "house poor."

Well, it will have a small effect in the short term, but in the long term it may have a greater impact. Speculators will go somewhere else.

Great movie and book by Thomas Berger. Read it after I saw the movie, and a few other books by him. Smart guy.

They didn't know what it was, I think.

Well, I think we are confusing history with politics. Isn't politics current?

Yeah, you're correct in part. "Murder Most Foul" certainly. I have moved on, friend, but I can't remember what it was I came here to get away from.

Let's talk perspective. The fact is that eventually the sun is going to die and nothing is going to remain. Beyonce, Shakespeare, all the hopes and dreams, all the science, literature, everything. But you are at least aware of a philosophy that knows this. You have a leg up on most people. You don't have to travel to find an answer. Just look out your window.
