Instinctive Behavior In Elephants - Very brave to poke elephants like that. Jude is lucky those elephants didn’t throw him into the sun.

At The Park - Cute story. Parks are nice.

My Day With Elon Musk - Before I got to the end of this one, I thought “this feels like a dream”. Red Planet Donuts is a great name for a donut shop.

Jude is always testing boundaries. 🤣

Parks are the best.

I am not entirely sure it was a dream. 😉

Loved the Musk story. You’ll have donuts in space someday I believe it!

All these years, I never got around to looking up the fairly incoherent lyrics to Rocket Man, and here you went and supplied a line! (I had “burning” right) Thanks, Mark!

That's funny because I had no clue what he was saying there either. Until I looked it up for this story. To me it sounded like "Burning off his shoes on ever long (or maybe Avalon.)" 🤣

Well, Elton sounded English. And Elon sounded rich. So it read pretty well to me.

Hmm. I wonder if Elon is secretly working on a transporter device, like Star Trek uses. That could explain it. I mean he already has sleep-inducing donuts.

And he has apparently limitless resources... I might add, he knows you pretty well. He completely nailed that you and he are geniuses in common.

🤣 Yeah, we have a lot in common. Two arms, two legs... 🤣

I am ... not a fan of Mr. Musk. But I am a fan of you, Mark!

Thanks, T. He is pretty polarizing, like most famous genius billionaires. But I had a fun day. 😉🤓🤣

Probably my fave so far!!! Elon and me, we go waaay back! And yet, I've never been invited to spend the day with him other than when I go to California to vote in person with the rest of the board about things like Teslas, rockets and space stations. You're welcome.

Indeed. Why the extra “ue”?
