Interesting kitchen. I'm more of a cherry wood kind of guy. #FridayNightZillow
This is the breakfast nook. Reminds me of this French restaurant wife and I went to in Virginia Beach one year where the only way to get in or our was to have the waiter pull the table out. Romantic? Yes. Practical? Not so sure. #FridayNightZillow

Property taxes are estimated at nearly $70K a year, so Manchin's decision not to revive super-sized SALT tax break's gotta hurt, but you can comfort yourself with the fact you are still a multimillionaire. #FridayNightZillow
Classy Hamptons? $5.995M doesn't go very far there — less than 3,000 square feet — but you do get great views and a TV-show-worthy interior. #FridayNightZillowzillow.com/homedetails/2-…
I assume that if this is the shape of your pool you are some famous musician? #FridayNightZillow

There's a lot going right in Nevada: Jobs are back. Tourists are back. Casinos are minting billions. But soaring housing prices and high gas costs have soured many voters on Biden, threatening to undo years of Democratic gains here: bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Democrat Catherine Cortez Masto has been narrowly leading Adam Laxalt in polls, and she has big advantages in $ and a well-developed ground game. And the overturning of Roe has given her a big wedge issue in a state in a state where a large majority has backed abortion rights.
Laxalt's sought to appeal to working class and Hispanic voters with a message focused on inflation, border security, etc. While inflation gives him an opening, many voters say they remain undecided.
EVs have computers which can control the time you charge. Really shouldn’t be *that difficult* to pool them as Tesla is doing for Powerwalls and then contect to the utility’s computers as dispatchable *demand* when grid has excess capacity.
There are parts of USA where wholesale power markets sometimes go negative when solar and wind etc are producing more than markets can use. This is a perfect time to be lighting up those large EV batteries, many just sitting there, plugged in, doing nothing.
Inflation watch: Muffin Pan mania remains just 25 cents at Funland.
Thrasher’s Inflation Index: Large fry now $13. I think it was $9.75 when I was growing up ~30 years ago, but I don’t think they shrank the tub they serve it in?
I’ve seen nothing on this trip that makes use of the penny, the nickel or the dime.
There’s very little impact in 2023 to the total tax burden of USA, per JCT tables. People making more than $500K can expect a 1% tax hit assuming impact of corporate taxes; overall tax burden increase next year is just 0.2%. Taxpayers at lower end on average get small tax cuts.
Grassley, McConnell both want immediate explanations for FBI searching Mar-a-Lago; Grassley says he spoke directly to Director Wray to share his concerns bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Grassley is unhappy with the lack of a public explanation; McConnell says Garland should have already given one for "the events of Monday." Neither commenting on *Trump*, however.
