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.

Robbie amazingly created a free tool better than any Wall St. wizard and updated it for free for years
...
We need to be thankful it lasted as long as it did.


Absolutely!

It bothers me that the updating ceased without any notice. I am concerned that he had some sort of unexpected health issue.

For years I had been following a daily blog written by a guy known as "The Z-Man". He never said what his name was. He always mentioned if he was going on vacation or moving or whatever if he wouldn't be posting for a while.
Around, IIRC, June 27 2025 he didn't post the daily post. Without any notice. I kept visiting every day for 2-3 weeks, but nothing. So I stopped.

Every so often I would check again and still no posts.
A few months later I thought to google "z-man" just in case something popped up. After some goggle-foo I found it. Chris Zander, died unexpectedly on June 26, 2025. Young, age 59.


I pray that that didn't happen to Robbie.
