Happy Old Age

This article in SCIAM is a review of some research on personal happines.

I can say that I have felt the bottom of the emotional U shaped curve in my mid forties, and seen it in some friends.

It is encouraging to read that the trend I now feel toward happiness can  be expected to continue into my old age (health cooperating, of course.)

SA has an article on fuels for jets. It seems the US Air Force spends 80% of its budget on fuel. And this is mostly from foreign sources. So they are looking at cheaper and domestic.

Interesting to see that it is really economics driving this. Hurrah for expensive oil!
