That cartoon kind of reminds me when people complain that the stock market must currently be overvalued since it's at an all-time high.

If you look at a historical chart of the stock market over many decades, it's hitting an all-time high a significant portion of the time. Because it trends upward over time.

Testing, testing...

This is a test to see if I can post twice in succession.
Last night I ate at the oldest steak house in Houston.

I will wait one minute and then try another post. If you don't see it, something is broken.

I had a delicious piece of prime rib at Brennans in Katy (West Houston)

Edit: Looks like it worked.

Is Sonny Looks still open? Used to be a great steak place. How about the Red Lion?

I left Houston in late 1974, perhaps just a little has changed since then. ;)

I don't know my way around Houston that well - and I'm only here for another day. I'll definitely look for it though.
Thanks.

i’m watching Forensic Files here and there and thinking please stay away from that head-butting girl forever, Mr Smith*. I have a strong feeling that she’s going to end up in jail, for violence.
