The story about the Barcelona water-pistol brigade reminds me of an incident on a Seine tourist boat (2016?) It was just an open deck with bench seats on it. As we were going under one of the famous bridges of Paris, a kid walked to the middle of the bridge, leaned over the rail, and dumped what looked like a Big Gulp cup full of god knows what on us as we went by. At the time, I thought, "How mean! The little bastard knows we can't do anything about it, and he's wrecking a very expensive experience for a bunch of old people." Now, however, I have begun to appreciate what it must be like to be invaded by a huge crowd of gawkers every day of the year.

They require an email for a trial, not a subscription. It's a bummer. But it's a great publication.

Right you are...I stand corrected...technically. But as far as I'm concerned, giving them an email address is an open invitation to receive a year of solicitations from whoever they give the address to. Nevertheless, I appreciate your efforts.

The story of the Texas Bitcoin Town makes Havana Syndrome claims more credible if even low levels of noise can create such severe symptoms.
