SSAB - October 8, 2025

Back to Changping for a couple of days, rainy all the way.
Workouts in! Didn’t go outside until I took out the garbage so worked out at home, including using the treadmill for the first time in a long time! Almost 4.91 km done in about 45 minutes.
GOLD a moving! Over $4000 USD an ounce now!
Starbucks closing stores! Including Seattle Sodo roastery! … They just unionized last year! Time to short?
