The short story is based on something someone in Australia, well-connected, told me.
He was driving me to see the Blue Mountains.

Auction Theory (a subset of Game Theory) economists win this year's Nobel.
As an artist and writer, I know abt art auctions and auctions for novel mss etc.
Even
the yarn, it's all $11.96 for Lion Brand Pound of Love at their store,
any color, but on Amazon, the prices are as high as $18 for some colors,
and a lot of colors are sold out. Pink and white are the highest
priced. And it's made in Turkey.
But at least my books are printed by Amazon in USA.
Everything is made in China and quality control is not so good.

Dr Fauci criticizes trump campaign for taking his words out of context--
Never knew a so-called Wh or presdt who lied so much.
Must be super desperate.
His son Eric so "confused" --i e IGNORANT
said "vaccine" "cured his father"--
3 Lies
1. There is no cure.
2. Vaccine is not ready yet
3. his father is not cured, not even recovered.
That may be 4 lies.

Covid outbreak on Utah mink farm.
watch your pets and wild animals you might interact with.
Smithsonian Craft Fair
Cliff Lee used to be a medical doctor, and gave up due to the insurance.
He makes these melon-shaped ceramics.
I first read about him abt 15 years ago, and he has shown here 15 years.

Old Burmese paintings in the collection of U Win--
Quite amazing how large this collection is.
Some of the cronies or oligarchs are said to be the ones driving up Burmese art prices.
So Mar Mar, the owner of Suvarnabhumi Gallery in Chiangmai told me.
If so some of it may be drug money.
I
also read that one man has bought one of Sir Gerald Kelly's portraits
of Mawngpun MahaDevi (Queen) sometimes wrongly titled "dancer."
Then there is Kelly's portrait of Daw Than E Fend, wh might have been inherited by Kim Aris.
Anyway, I hope everything is safe--
Teza, said to be Shan himself, is said to have Nyaungshwe Sawbwa's photos. He posted some on FB.
They should be returned to the family, also the property--
Peace and Reconciliation Committees in Burma are badly needed.
It's a country based on injustice, that's why I dislike it.
What
I don't like abt the U Win collection is its lacquered, romanticized
view of Burma. I don't think his artistic taste was so great. However,
I'm glad he could collect so much.

VP debate fly swatter
It's as good as the activist who cracked an egg on a politician's bald head.
But only in the free world. In Burma famous comedian Zaganar (Pincers) was arrested as soon as he stepped off the stage.

Stochastic terrorist, domestic terrorism
FBI thwarts militia plot to kidnap Michigan governor Whitmer and others --
suspects in custody.
Clearly
the incendiary rhetoric of the instigator in chief is responsible. My
late pol sci prof Henry Teune always used to say, "It will be the age of
warlords," and now here we are.
