Today I learned how to slow down appropriately since my last post was about how to step it up. It seems that my activity levels are right on track with the consistency of the tariff tossing markets and spring sometimes feels like that with the change of seasons.
Today I learned that I step up my game when it's needed.
Today I learned that the Treasury Yield is back up to 4.684%. Meanwhile the market exuberance got a little slap because the quantum computing folks say maybe twenty years away from some practical application.

Today I learned how the song White Christmas helped make Silicon Valley.
Today I learned the the Geminids[^1] are one of two sets of meteor showers not originating from a comet. They were discovered to be originating from the Phaethon[^2] asteroid in 1983, which is one of the more recent discoveries.

Today I learned about the I.D. Buzz and Electric Mini release dates1,2. In an effort to lobby the better half on our future automobile lineup, I created the graphic below and added the dogs for better effect.
