Greetings, all --
If I may, from this remove (now a great distance from Santa Fe, in Alexandria, Virginia), allow me to offer a couple of thoughts on recent postings:
1) Hard to beat the bratwurst at San Francisco Street Bar & Grill for lunch (ask for extra mustard). If I were to celebrate, The Pink Adobe is a reliable source of good food, and I'm fond of El Nido in Tesuque for a classic surf 'n' turf. I'm happy to extend it to Geronimo, The Compound, Ristra, and perhaps, A La Mesa (it's new, after all, and may not make the "Top 10" down the road). I had a great supper at Bistro 315 before leaving the Land of Enchantment, too. There's something to be said about the cheap and cheerful service at Del Charro at the Inn of the Governors, as well as Piccolino on Aqua Fria (neither of which would be ideal for a celebration, but they could provide the food...).
2) Several alluded to this, and as a trader/student of pricing, I'd say that Dyson's observations are extremely worthwhile, and I'm happy to have them, if for no other reason than it sows more seeds of uncertainty on the market. Trade the volatility! Actually, I think the more important aspect is that while it's very interesting to look at matters at the scale of 1AU, we mere mortals are struggling to find a way to measure and, with luck, manage the interactive effects of one complex adaptive system, climate, with another complex adaptive system, macroeconomics. I'll be bold in predicting that there's money to be made in the intersection. Now, we could have a much more interesting conversation about whether money matters, but I'll leave it to the reader to decide or denigrate, as appropriate.
