A friend’s encouragement gave me the impetus to do something today that I had been putting off. Thank you! 😊. Paying it forward by sharing this poem which got me through a very “dark night of my soul.” Hope it helps someone.

A cardiologist died and was given an elaborate funeral. A huge heart, covered in flowers, stood behind the casket during the service.
Following the eulogy, the heart opened, and the casket rolled inside. The beautiful heart then closed, sealing the doctor inside, forever.
At that point, one of the mourners burst into laughter.
When all eyes stared at him, he said, “I’m sorry, I was just thinking of my own funeral. I’m a gynecologist.”
The proctologist fainted…

Tomorrow, March 20, 2026, our planet will experience one of its rare moments of cosmic symmetry: the vernal equinox, when day and night are as close to equal length as they get anywhere on Earth.
This fleeting harmony occurs because the Sun stands directly above the equator, with Earth's rotational axis neither tilted toward nor away from our star. For a brief window, both hemispheres bask in nearly identical amounts of sunlight—approximately 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness at every latitude (with minor variations due to local geography and atmospheric effects).
Earth's familiar 23.5° axial tilt is the root cause of our seasons: as the planet circles the Sun, one hemisphere leans toward the light while the other leans away. The equinoxes—vernal in March and autumnal in September—are the precise points in the orbit where that tilt becomes perpendicular to the Sun-Earth line, canceling out the seasonal imbalance.
The term “equinox” derives from Latin roots meaning “equal night,” though in reality the split is never perfectly 50/50 everywhere. Atmospheric refraction bends sunlight, allowing the Sun to appear above the horizon a few minutes earlier at sunrise and later at sunset, slightly extending the perceived day. Still, the difference is usually only a matter of minutes—close enough to feel truly balanced.
After tomorrow's equinox, the scales tip once more. In the Northern Hemisphere, daylight will steadily lengthen toward the long days of summer solstice. In the Southern Hemisphere, nights will begin to dominate as winter approaches.
For thousands of years, humans have revered these moments of alignment. Megalithic monuments such as Stonehenge, the Chichen Itzá pyramid of Kukulcán, and countless other ancient observatories were carefully oriented to capture the Sun's equinoctial path—proof of how deeply this celestial event shaped calendars, planting cycles, festivals, and mythologies across cultures.
In a universe of constant change, the equinox offers a rare pause: a day when Earth's tilt, orbit, and rotation conspire to create near-perfect equilibrium across the globe.
Tomorrow is that day: a quiet reminder of the elegant geometry that governs life on our spinning world.

@Teslaconomics Does anyone remember the $200+ dip. That one really deserved the chips. Lol
I highly doubt it will go that low again so it really is at a good buying price currently.

Are you buying the $TSLA dip? Y/N
Back in September 2025, Elon bought ~$1 billion worth of Tesla stock on the open market - around 2.5 million shares, paying roughly $370 to $396 per share.
And now here we are…
Tesla is literally trading back in that same range, right around the ~$380s.
The CEO of the company was aggressively buying in this exact zone… with a billion dollars of his own money… while knowing more about Tesla than anyone else on Earth.
So when people ask me if I’m buying the dip, I look at it like this.
The price is back where Elon was buying.
Nothing about the long-term vision has changed.
If anything… it’s only gotten stronger imo.
If you truly understand what Tesla is building - FSD, Robotaxi, Optimus, AI - then moments like this shouldn’t bother you one bit.
They should feel like opportunities most people will regret overthinking.
Not financial advice.
Just how I see it.

@usedgov Absolutely! Reading to kids daily from the time they are babies has many benefits.

@Soaringeagle45 Wow! The situation sure got complicated fast! 😂🤣😂.
Did they never hear of the saying, “Silence is golden”?

The cop comes up to the window and says “Congrats! You were the 1st person I saw today going 45 miles per hour…and today is Safety Day, you win 50 dollars!”
The man smiles and says “Good! I thought you were pulling me over because you saw me throw the glass bottle out the window.”
A woman in the passenger seat sighs and says “Don’t mind him, officer, he’s a smart ass when he’s drunk.”
A man in the back stirs awake and says, “Crap! I knew we wouldn’t get far in a stolen car!”
Then the officer hears a knocking sound from the trunk and a heavily accented voice says “Hey…are we over the border yet?”

Woman or man, the good that you do always returns to you in one form or another. It touches those in your vicinity as well.

@IndianaGPA 🤣😂🤣
That’s what happens when you miss the beginning of the situation. It’s like watching only the ending of the movie.

@elonmusk My biggest fear of self-driving cars is that if I were to have a heart attack on the way to work, the car would still drive me there.

Dave was bragging to his boss one day, "You know, I know everyone famous there is to know. Go on - Just name someone, anyone, and I bet that I know them"
Tired of his boasting, his boss decides to call Dave's bluff, "OK, Dave, how about Tom Cruise?"
"Not a problem boss. Tom and I are old friends, and I can prove it"
So Dave and his boss fly out to Hollywood and knock on Tom Cruise's door.
Tom Cruise is at home and answers the door himself and shouts,
"Dave! What's happening? Great to see you! Come on in for a beer!
Although shocked and more than a little impressed, Dave's boss is still skeptical and he tells Dave that he thinks him knowing Cruise was just pure luck.
"No, no, just name anyone else then", Dave says.
"President Trump!", his boss quickly retorts.
"Yep" Dave says, "We're buddies from years ago. Let's fly out to Washington and I'll show you"
So they fly out to Washington and go on the White house tour"
"While walking through the White House, Trump himself appears, spots Dave on the tour and motions him and his boss over, saying,
"Dave, what a surprise, it's great to see you again after all this time. I was just on my way to a meeting but you and your friend come on in and let's have a cup of coffee first and catch up"
After they leave the White House grounds the boss tells Dave that he's still not entirely convinced.
Dave again implores him to name another famous person.
After thinking about it for a long time the boss replies with, "The Pope!"
"Sure thing!", says Dave, "I've known the Pope for years - since before he became Pope in fact"
So off they fly to Rome.
Dave and his boss are assembled with the masses in Saint Peter's Square at the Vatican.
Dave says, "This will never work, I can't catch the Pope's eye among all these people Tell you what, I know all the Pope's guards here as well so let me just go upstairs and I'll come out on the balcony with the Pope."
Sure enough, half an hour later Dave emerges with the Pope on the balcony, but by the time Dave returns, he finds that his boss had passed out and is surrounded by paramedics.
Making his way to his boss' side, Dave asks him,
"What happened?"
His boss looks up and says, "It was the final straw. You and the Pope came out on the balcony and a Japanese tourist next to me said"
"Who the hell is that on the balcony with Dave?"
