I've found your essays and discussions to have more depth and carefully considered nuance than almost any one else who writes about these issues (and yeah, I'm a subscriber). Thanks.

I'm no longer confused by the inverse relationship between bond prices and bond "yields," but that took almost a lifetime. It seems "the odds" (regardless of the term's original meaning) is generally used synonymously with "the chances."

And more and more and MORE apps are doing it. Intrusive little pop-ups everywhere you go. Many of them refuse to be closed. It's fucking infuriating.

Btw "Beatles Anthology 2025" is now on the Disney channel, in 9 parts. Just found out & looking forward to seeing this.

Isn't there an electric-piano solo in "In My Life"? & that may be around the same period you're talking about.
