You are absolutely correct. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Something got very screwed up in the blog and that post about the Florida primary completely disappeared; I have no idea why. I finally managed to find it, hidden in a revision (earlier version) of a completely different post. I’ve re-published it, and the comments even came back. Plus, as part of all of that, there were other strange anomalies that I think I’ve fixed.

Axios now reports that it is a US effort, going at night, and shipping up to half normal oil flow delivery. Good News!

EXCERPT
The U.S. military has quietly established a shipping corridor in and out of the Strait of Hormuz to transport millions of barrels of oil each day — a notable success even as the broader war remains at a stalemate, two U.S. officials told Axios.

—Under the operation, which has been underway for the last several weeks, 15–20 tankers have entered and exited the strait each night through a southern channel along the coast of Oman.

—About 10 million barrels of oil a day — roughly half the pre-war volume — are being transported out of the strait and injected into the global energy market, the officials said.

— “We have been controlling the southern lane of the Strait of Hormuz for two months now. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps can be a nuisance, but they don’t control the strait. We do,” one of the U.S. officials, who has direct knowledge of the matter, said.

I saw “Michael” last spring (Antoine Fuqua dir., who also did the action series *The Equalizer) with Denzel Washington).

Michael closes with the album “Thriller”. And announced a sequel coming…maybe 2028?

I believe the actor playing Jackson did not use MJs real recorded singing voice until “Thriller.”

Part 1 was an big international hit, too.

Indeed Astaire did. He complimented Jackson on his dancing in “Billie Jean” when Jackson debuted the Moonwalk.

Jackson would later say of the phone call that “… it was the greatest compliment I had ever received in my life.”

I’ve long been touched by that story. I love it when great artists recognize each other. Not always the case.
