Debts you can’t pay. Top Story - September 2024.
I’ve had a huge revelation today and it was truly accidental. I was driving to my favorite berry farm, listening to a radio program about a summer camp run for 10-12 year-old children to learn the basics of economics. The camp was called “BizTown” and the kids first were supposed to apply for a particular job in town, go through a job interview, and then get hired into a job. Not all kids got the job they wanted but most did. And then they were supposed to start a business from scratch. Of course only after they completed some training in debit and credit and foundations of running a small business.

“I’ll Take You to The High Cliff!”. Content Warning.
As a seasoned mountain guide, I can tell a potential jumper relatively easily. There's something about them, a mixture of sadness, determination, and detachment in their movements and on their face, that singles them out. I've been taking people to hike and climb the mountains for over 30 years now and had a fair share of jumpers to deal with.

Ride into Paris
I am exhausted. We have just landed in Paris from our 11-hour flight from Sao Paolo. The girls were particularly fussy during the entire flight: the little one, one-year-old Olivia, couldn't stand the pressure on her ears and cried non-stop on take-off, landing and during turbulence, which was particularly bad this time. This was driving the passengers around us crazy, and a couple of times we got not only stern looks but also comments like "Can't you do anything to stop your baby from crying?" Like as a parent I already don't feel bad and am irritating my babies on purpose so that they annoy other passengers.
