I was born in Parry Sound myself where the better Bobby is from of course.
When I went off to college in the Fall of 71 I stopped following hockey. So the Bobby I was familiar with was from the 60s.
He and Dennis once were signing autographs at a promotion at an appliance store in my hometown. I waited forever to get their autographs. When I left the line was just as long and they stayed till everyone got an autograph.

I grew up near Chicago watching the Black Hawks with Bobby Hull and Stan Mikita.

Actually with Crosby...the surprising thing is that we didn't say RIP decades ago! A lot of health challenges. Cheers!
I figure if Crosby lived to 81, I'll easily make it to 121, LOL.

RIP David Crosby

Surprisingly I'm up 0.01% because it sure feels like I was down for the year.

My palate is not that refined, but yes, I find it enjoyable.
My palate also. Put two shots in front of me, one from a $50 bottle and one from a $1,500 bottle, and I probably can tell they are different but not which one costs $1,500, LOL

Found in my community book exchange, a copy of Supermoney (1972) by George Goodman (writing as Adam Smith).
Pages 177-204 have excellent profiles of Ben Graham and Warren Buffett, written in 1972, when Buffett had left the market.
Well before Roger Lowenstein's 2008 biography, Buffett: Making of an American Capitalist (memorable phrase: "Buffett was back").
If you can find Supermoney, I recommend it. 50 years ago, good to remember we were as foolish then as now.
Goodman writes well. His closing essay, "Well, Watchman, What of the Night?" (pages 242-295), regarding motivations, is very thoughtful, and relevant to today's circumstances.
See other works by Goodman via wiki page. "The Money Game" was reportedly a bestseller. Haven't read that (yet).
Merry Christmas and Best Wishes to All!
Here is my copy of "The Money Game," $1.25. I read it around 1970.

Ha!.... boilermaker75...the price ended up not falling much so my bid won't go through. Maybe later in the day.
@dealraker Go ahead and write some puts with a strike price where you wanted to purchase WFC. Kinda like a limit order you get paid for if it doesn't execute. Pretty good premiums. The 40-strike 1/20/22 puts are going for over 90 cents a share.

As a kid I watched Last Crusade more times than I can count, as well as Raiders of the Lost Ark...Indiana Jones was my chosen career field as a kid...some kids wanted to be pro athletes, astronauts...I wanted to be Indiana Jones, running through the woods with a Fedora I got at Goodwill and a cheap plastic whip that I got from the local county fair...
Temple of Doom scared me too much, pulling beating hearts out of chests etc...
The Crystal Skull IMO was garbage, and this one looks like they are wringing the washcloth again, milking the franchise for one more time before Indy is in a wheelchair in the old folks home, kind of a shame.
I would rather have them revitalize the franchise with a new Indy and better writing, less special effects, but maybe that just me.
Old professors have a lot of wisdom to dispense
