Tree

Apple just announced a major restructuring.  Tim Cook himself along with rants from Ahrends and a Cue from Eddie cooked up this idea over the last six months that Apple stock took a beating and broke the news in a classic midnight event hosted at their new Star Wars campus in Cupertino.

The new organization will be called Tree.  This tree will bear many new fruit along with other existing fruits, Apple being the biggest.  Smaller fruits will include berries like the recent acquisition bombshell of making Blackberry one of the fruit on the Tree.

This drove the Apple stock price skyhigh that the Tree started looking more like a Redwood rather than a fruiting variety.  To ensure alignment with this newfound image Cook than roasted Oracle's goose and acquired all of Redwood Shores where Oracle is housed (along with Redwood City with plans to also eventually acquire Palo Alto and surrounding real estate).  Larry's Lanai acquisition merely looks like a condo in comparison to the Apple move.  When you got billions show it.

Therefore the Tree now has its World HQ in two places like a banyan tree has roots all over the place, one in Star Wars campus in Cupertino, CA and the other in Redwood Shores, CA.

Representatives of Golden, Murugan and Openyammer were at hand as the financial wizards that unlocked share holder value.  Large amounts of fanfare and candles and fireworks followed this announcement along with the lighting of the Diya (Indian oil lamp) by the newly anointed CEO (another bombshell - not to be confused with prior fireworks) to compete with the South Indian invasion in all things tech.

This new dude hails from Kerala - the other south Indian state who had not seen their representation in America's tech leadership.  His name - Bahubali Ganesan.

A graduate of 'A School I did not go to' he has been an exemplary leader in all aspects of fruit rearing and a supplementary degree from France in agriculture adds to his charisma.

He leads a Gandhian lifestyle with no interest in being the face of Apple and is reportedly media shy - another reason why no one has heard of this force in the dark.

Tim will primarily be cyclist in chief - helping newly hired interns learn the street maps (of the newly released Apple campus Map) on a cycle, which will be battery operated and give Musk nightmares.  This will ensure a work life balance for Tim who is a fitness freak.  Balance is also very important for riding bicycles.

New England is gleaming in the fall

 This autumn the weather gods cooperated as we took a family trip in the northeast to see six states that qualify or makeup what is known colloquially in America as New England. Mass, Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut and Rhode Island (tiniest state in the union). The outing helped tally up the states we either lived in, visited or have worked in to 47. Guess which three have eluded this intrepid traveling family. Any rate the drive was all in about 1,800 miles and included some memorable geographic wonders or points of interest.  Easternmost part of state of Massachusetts being one.  Furthest drivable road east in Mass being another. Visit to all Ivy League schools (term harkens to a collegiate athletics conference and generally regarded as elite academic institutes of some repute worldwide) is another random bucket list item of which this trip afforded the chance to knock two more of the list.  Dartmouth in Hanover, NH and Brown (and its sister institute the RISD  - school f

Searching for a lavish 'fill in the blank with other adjectives and gender' in bed

 Many of the readers of this blog have experienced this. Strange sounding messages popping up in your text or WA or emails all day long from some exotic sounding locale with an out of this world individual looking for love, sex, money or other paraphernalia to get a high. I mean granted that electronic spamming is a low cost enterprise and all but the sheer volumes and the variety in these exhortations is beyond imagination. Having a desire to engage you in some sort of sexual payola or invest in some arcane crypto scheme must be a profound algorithm that someone from Oklahoma to Odessa is cranking on through the night and watching one in a few million fall for. Otherwise this nonsense would not exist I suspect. It would be funny to watch the lifecycle of some such persona that creates said content and that of a prospect for this invite becoming an unwilling or willing participant. Then that whole thing could go on some social channel and earn likes and subscriptions for someone else a

Lakeside frivolities

 We moved to the Charlotte area not knowing where exactly our new home would be. Turns out it was by a popular lake formed by the damming of the Catawba river which flows north to south in the Carolinas. Local electricity generation utility built a series of dams along the waterway for hydro and couple nuclear plants as well to supply the state grid.  The lake our house butts into is Lake Wylie. While tract home build has picked up in the Carolinas the developer often carves out parcels that they can get their hands on leaving behind privately owned lots that the individual owner may not want to sell. Our house is part of a subdivision but backs into actual lake front yardage that has always been part of legacy family owned properties who chose to build a cabin or getaway and did not sell to a corporation wanting to build in the hundreds. As such we can see the water through the year but it does not afford actual water access.  That privilege is to our neighbors who still maintain thei
