Whether speaking to children about college costs or aging parents about living expenses, openly discussing money issues with family is crucial, though sometimes difficult. 

Producing multigenerational wealth is a goal for many people. Yet, that planning process should not solely be about preserving wealth. Instead, it should be about cultivating funds to help build perpetual prosperity for future generations.

Orcas have apparently taken a break from sinking luxury yachts so they can focus on themselves. The animals have brought back an old whale fashion trend that hasn’t been in style in nearly four decades. This year’s hottest ocean look is once again wearing a dead salmon as a hat.

Orcas apparently went through their parents closets and loved what they found. In a story we first heard about at ScienceAlert, scientists spotted a pod of the whales off North America’s west coast swimming with dead salmons on their head. This is the first time the unusual behavior has been seen in 37 years. This sudden resurgence of an something so strange raises some pretty obvious and, more importantly, vital question. First, “LOL wut?” Second, “No, seriously, what the hell is this about?“

Well, no one really knows! This all started in the Pacific northeast in 1987 when a female orca started carrying a dead salmon on her nose. Pretty soon her fellow whales near Puget Sound were doing the same. But by 1988 that fishy conduct was already passé. The orcas gave up their dead salmon hats as quickly as they adopted it and they never did it again. Until now.

Why bring this look back now? Researchers speculate it could be a type of storage or the intelligent animals being playful. It might even have some social significance within the group or simply feel good. But the possible “why” isn’t even as much fun as the possible “who.”

These could be the same whales that wore dead salmon hats in the late ’80s! This retro look is taking off not far from where it first began and orcas live a long time.

These whales might not have gone through their parents closets at all. They might be wearing their old clothes. And if that’s the case good for them. Better yet, good for us. We’ve been looking for an excuse to bust out our old Starter Jackets. If an orca can wear a dead salmon on their head 37 years after it was hip we can wear a puffy Charlotte Hornets coat.

Good evening, folks! Today I want to discuss which picks I got correct and which ones I got wrong! So, let’s get started, shall we?! I predicted that the Vikings would beat the Bears 27-17, but the final score was 30-27 Vikings over the Bears in overtime. The Vikings went down the field and kicked a game-winning field goal in overtime. I predicted that the Lions would beat the Colts 49-10, but the final score was 24-6 Lions over the Colts. I predicted that the Chiefs would beat the Panthers 41-21, but the final score was 30-27 Chiefs over the Panthers. I predicted that the Broncos would beat the Raiders 34-19, but the final score was 29-19 Broncos over the Raiders. I predicted that the Packers would beat the 49ers 38-17, but the final score was 38-10 Packers over the 49ers. Wow! My prediction there was almost on the dot!!!! I predicted that the Eagles would beat the Rams 40-23, but the final score was 37-20 Eagles over the Rams. I predicted that the Ravens would beat the Chargers 42-31, but the final score was 30-23 Ravens over the Chargers.

I predicted that the Commanders would beat the Cowboys 35-13, but the final score was 34-26 Cowboys over the Commanders. I predicted that the Texans would beat the Titans 32-16, but the final score was 32-27 Titans over the Texans. The Texans are playing horrible right now. Luckily for them their division rivalries is not even close to them. I predicted that the Cards would beat the Seahawks 24-20, but the final score was 16-6 Seahawks over the Cards.

Overall, I have gotten 7 out of 10 picks correct!!! Now, let’s get to the NFL week 13 picks, shall we?! The first game I will predict is the Chargers @Falcons game. I think the Chargers will beat the Falcons 36-24. The next game I will predict is the Seahawks @Jets game. I think the Seahawks will beat the Jets 38-20. The next game I will predict is the Titans @Commanders game. I think the Commanders will beat the Titans 34-17. The next game I will predict is the Steelers @Bengals game, the divisional rivalries. I am actually going to pick an upset by picking the Bengals to beat the Steelers 27-24. The next game I will predict is the Cards @Vikings game. I think the Vikings will beat the Cards 31-27. The next game I will predict is the Rams @Saints game. I think the Rams will beat the Saints 38-10. The next game I will predict is the Eagles @Ravens game. I think the Ravens will beat the Eagles 41-38. The next game I will predict is the 49ers @Bills game on Sunday night football. I think the Browns @Broncos game on Monday night football. I think the Broncos will beat the Browns 25-17.
