  1. Catherine… FWIW… I have had numerous orders dropped into the U.S. Postal Service in December, before and after Christmas, that took 4 to 7 weeks to be delivered.

    When I track them, they stay in the Tulsa postal main sort facility for weeks and weeks. They seem to eventually shake out… but about 20% of them are presumed lost, and I have to replace the orders.

    Thousands of other e-commerce sellers are having the same issues with USPS in the U.S..

    Anyway… THAT’S probably where your Solari print materials went… although they may be subject to “removal” from the mail stream after being lost in the system.

    1. Tomorrow will be 60 days – not one has arrived. The second mailing that went out 1-2 weeks ago is arriving.

      1. Yeah… that sounds like a “diverted” mailing.

        A LOT of my packages got “lost”, but not all of them did.

      2. It would be interesting to put a hidden chip in a few of the packages to see where they are actually going. Remember the loss years ago. Some one said, ‘what can I say, they wanted hard copies”.

  4. Re UK “Vaccinations” I model Covid-19 “cases” and deaths. Something happened around the 10th December and stopped happening around the end of January 2021. Over that period my model underestimated deaths by 13,000~17000 depending on the exact timing. That’s out of ~52,000.
    UK vaccinations began on 9th December (Pfizer) and on 5th January (AZO) with the most vulnerable going first.
    Since 8th February, the modelling matches the deaths, more or less.

  5. Catherine: In college and seminary I studied Classical Hebrew and Koine Greek. I’m not a classical Greek scholar, by any stretch, but in the short investigation that I did, it appears that “solari”is latin, not greek, and as a verb in the present infinitive passive form, , especially when used with inanimate and abstract objects, means “to soothe, ease, lighten, lessen, relieve, assuage, mitigate” in the works of Vergil, including Ovid. So your recollection of “to reduce anxiety through illumination” may have its roots in latin. But the only way I can speculate the “through illumination” part is that good old sol, the sun, does just that. Perhaps your Patristics major (and true expert translator) Dr. Farrell can illuminate further! Luck- and loved your Q & A, as always! Hope this helps.

  6. California money managers are evidently fairly naive. in 2011 German diplomats were well aware what was going on with Strauss-Kahn.
    dsk was also promoting sdrs, as i recall.
    a French book claimed Sarkozy wanted revenge for Gaddafi’s affair with Cecilia.

  7. Catherine, you mentioned something about tax planning as it relates using an escrow account. Can you point me in the right direction to that resource?

    1. Working on a piece now, stay tuned. But will need a bevy of attorneys to figure it out.
