The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

No one in Warren's family, but his friend Jimmy Buffett died at 76. Apparently they actually did a DNA test to see if they were related.

Jimmy didn't share the longevity genes, but the business sense was there. He parlayed one #1 song, "Margaritaville", and a vast collection of other feel good music into an empire of a billion dollars, placing him #18 on the Forbes all time list of richest celebrities.

I was not quite a parrothead, but whenever I'm at the beach, I look for a good Jimmy Buffet bar to sit and enjoy his songs. He will be missed.
