回來，補讀「舊聞」。看到6/29日Oba之留言和6/26日『華爾街日報』關於Buffett捐巨款300億美金給GATES基金會，真堪稱人間最妙美談。

Oba 留言：有人知道樸克牌裡面有一種玩法,兩個人一起玩,一個人先發兩張牌,然後由非發牌的那個開始抽牌... 好像類似十點半爆炸??抽第三張,如果點數太大就爆了
英文是Capital
中文是什麼??

Oba自救……. Captial應該純粹就是比大小。
別看這個遊戲很白目加無聊，這可是John Lennon跟他首任經理Eppy，於1963年同遊巴塞隆納，在Ritz Hotel一起玩的牌戲哩。

玩完後，兩人還發展了一段"同性友誼"。令人不勝"艷羨"。

這年頭流行斷背山，連幾十年前的老作古斷背一起去爬高弟山的歷史都給挖了出來。

Buffett Gives $30 Billion to Gates Foundation

Warren Buffett will give the bulk of his fortune, more than $30 billion in Berkshire stock, to the Gates Foundation, doubling its size.

(step on the gas　〔話〕 アクセルを踏む, 加速する; 急ぐ.)
Mr. Buffett had expected his wife to outlive him and kick their philanthropic pursuits into high gear after his death. Because she died before him, he felt she would approve if he started giving early. Mrs. Buffett "would really have stepped on the gas," Mr. Buffett told Fortune Magazine, which his assistant confirmed was accurate.

Some investors yesterday didn’t seem concerned about how this would affect their stakes. "I’m really happy for him personally," said Kenneth Shubin Stein, who runs Spencer Capital Management, a New York hedge fund with a stake in Berkshire.
Mr. Buffett, who works out with a personal trainer three times a week to help offset his diet of largely red meat and potatoes, said his decision to give away his wealth now had nothing to do with his health. In each of his letters to the five foundations, Mr. Buffett assured the recipients: "My doctor tells me I’m in excellent health, and I certainly feel that I am."
