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.

That's a stumper. I have no idea

Well, it makes me feel better, at least. Thank you!

(It reminds me of one on-call Saturday years ago. I was holed up in my office, where in between phone calls and pages I was doing the annual Advances in Hematology question bank in preparation for my upcoming decennial board recertification. One question made no sense.

I mused about it the rest of the weekend, reading increasingly obscure papers and abstracts.

Finally, on Monday I showed it to my senior partner, who read seemingly everything, and with a 100% retention rate. He had no idea.

He then asked his brother, a Harvard professor, albeit in Infectious Disease. But Brother went on to ask his brethren Hematology professors. Senior partner came back to me a few days later with Brother's report that the Harvard hematology professors had no idea either.

That's when I stopped worrying)
