Not in the sense of never being wrong.

The eighty-degree day was mainly slept-through. I did get caught up with the bro. His Memorial-Dayish sojourn is taking vague shape and I’m hoping that in some fashion we get together “Before we get much older”.

I alerted him to the near presence of an anniversary with a zero on the end of it.

I’m sure it’ll all work out. Without fussing about it too much in advance.

To put a pin in another part of that conversation:

The United States cut off oil supplies to Japan on July 26, 1941. This decision was part of a broader strategy to curb Japanese expansion in Asia, particularly after Japan’s occupation of French Indochina. Following this embargo, Japan faced significant resource shortages, contributing to its decision to attack Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, and subsequently enter World War II.

and:

The July 1941 embargo by the United States cut off approximately 90% of Japan’s oil supplies. This dramatic reduction left Japan in a precarious position, heavily reliant on imports for its military and economic needs. Without this critical resource, Japan’s military operations were severely constrained, influencing their strategic decisions leading up to World War II.

That’ll probably be more like the norm going forward, and I’m not going to say it explicitly every time, so … make of that what you will, and cave canem or caveat emptor and all that good old-fashioned shit.
