Corona 2022

Corona 2022

The central bank of empire raised the short-term interest rate by 0.75 percent. The dividend distributions for all investment accounts last month amounted to $850 or so. Next month will obviously be higher.

There have been some attempts at spending more money on food. However, even with inflationary prices and more expensive (read: slightly healthier) food options, the increase in spending for the month didn’t even amount to a “c-note.” In other words, there’s no way to spend the extra money coming in. Other “stuff” on the wish list is just not available anywhere. Quite a conundrum, eh?

After the evening outing at the International Marketplace, a quick stop was made at the overpriced ABC Store. A big-ass can of Corona® cerveza was procured to quietly celebrate the end of “corona” and to soothe the frayed nerves. Right now, paying rip-off prices for products is inconsequential, even ludicrous to contemplate. These are the “twilight years” and “keeling over” can occur “suddenly” at any moment. Baha! Ha! Ha! Haaa!

Addendum: There’s no telling when the last celebration with a big-ass can of cheap brewski occurred, possibly several years ago. Such events are unlikely to become frequent.

Miscellany: The iOS 16.2 update coming in December will add an Apple® News feed to the weather “app” (translation: covert advertising infiltration). When confirmed, the “app” will be mummified.
