My husband always says, "I have to call my bookie ... I mean broker." when he wants advise on a tradeHappens. It’s pretty much gambling.

How on earth was everyone rushing to sell yesterday and turning around rushing to buy today. Makes no sense.
I may roll the dice on something I "like" but Hertz isn't one of them somethings.Buy the dip.
Just read Levine’s piece at Bloomberg about Hertz. It’s pretty irrational. But folks will look at the prices dropping and buy because it’s fun.

Seaworld's stock has rebounded but it was too big a gamble.
It was over 35 on Valentine's Day, hit a low around 8 mid-March, and is back up hitting 20 occasionally.
Even as cheap as buying at 8 seemed, was too risky to end up with nothing.
Yeah I thought the virus would be the last nail in their coffin after that decimated them.I haven’t gotten since Black Fish, so I wouldn’t have bought any.

Guess the documentary's impact only lasted for 3 yrs of guilt. Marine mammals need the open sea to be healthy and there's plenty available. 1982 was my only SW visit.Nah. People still like to see animals in captivity.

I'm guilty of enjoying some captive animals, primates especially. Really just as happy to see documentaries in their natural habitats. I should just stick to that. Definitely a dark area. Many animals' ecosystems are getting wiped out so rescuing some until hopefully solutions can be found might thwart extinctions and maintain genetic diversity. Hard to reconcile, you're right. Most of it is our selfishness.
Even Disney with high standards of care is questionable for a lot of species. It helps raise awareness to protect the wealth of diversity and environments on this planet, at a high cost though. Hmmm, the animals have always been my highlight at WDW. Even seeing StarWarsLand for the 1st time last Dec, our day at AK felt more exhilarating with all the animals out in their glory. Something to think about.
Wow! Thanks, that looks so cool. I wasn't aware of it.Then, try this:

How can that be called a zipline? He's sitting in a CHAIR!Then, try this:
That's great idea. We've never been to DL, it's on our radar to do soon. I will not forget that we need to hit San Diego for this too.First thing that came to my mind when I read that part of your comment was: You have to visit San Diego as part of a DL trip.
Living in CA, Disney AK seemed like the animals were in captivity still. Not as bad as a typical zoo. But, if you ever get the chance to visit southern CA, you should make a trip down further south to San Diego Zoo Safari Park. The park is 6x bigger than AK. Those animals are definitely more in the open. It’s almost impossible to walk the whole park in a day because it’s so vast.

It does remind me a bit of my Thursday, however!
I secretly have always wanted to move there, lol. Now I have even more reason.San Diego is awesome.
