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.

“Returning to the seafaring metaphor from above, Buffett built a ship designed to sail through storms he will never see, captained by people he (eventually) will never know, but carrying a map he drew by hand. This is the start of his final challenge. And, for the first time, he will be watching from the shore.”

I'd modify it a bit. He's not watching from shore, he's more like a commodore as an honoured passenger watching the new captain run the ship. He'll be dropped off at one of the first couple of ports of call, however.
(or perhaps retired commodore if you're fussy)
