Once again in our “nut doesn’t fall too far from the tree” department: Son George II’s adventures jumping some bumpy air over the Columbia River Friday in Washington State. Full screen it in 1 – 2 – 3….. https://www.facebook.com/gua742/videos/492819251173317/ The jumps are off Skydive Chelan (*that’s the airport they’re landing on). And yes, that is … Read More
Don’t worry if the news in recent years has made less and less sense. There’s a simple reason for it that no one dares speak about openly. However, since the Fourth of July is upon us, it’s past time to get real with ourselves and admit that America now has two governments. Which means, that … Read More
I don’t normally repost “press statements” but one came across my desk just now that I’d appreciate your taking the time to read. “Fellow Columnists: The National Society of Newspaper Columnists wishes to express its heartfelt sympathies and condolences to all those touched by yesterday’s tragic events in Annapolis. We continue to recognize the uncommon … Read More
In 1776, the weapons of the American Revolution included things like muskets. In the Webolution of 2018, the weapon of choice is headlines. Of course, if there are gunshots – that move certain headlines of the front page, it might relate to that shooting in Annapolis… A part of the Webolution? Not directly. But it did move stories around. And in … Read More
Which is what, exactly? It’s your rut. See, people get into ruts all the time. They habitually do the same thing, over and over again, without ever pausing to ask the few questions that really matter: What am I doing? It it part of (or does it move me toward) my long term objectives? If … Read More
Markets – for now – are not particularly interesting to us. Future’s down 100 :45 before the open. While we dropped below our “line in the sand” of a critical trend channel, the odds are pretty good we will have a decent entry point (for whichever direction) later on. Part of the reason is the … Read More
I haven’t heard back from Chis McCleary (he’s busy_) but I experienced a major drop in dream intensity and frequency for a couple of days right after the solstice. Back to normal now, but for a couple of days it was almost like “dropout” of the signal. Most odd. A couple of great notes on the … Read More
The topic du jour is a rethinking of what drives the economic Long Wave. First identified by Nikolas Kondratieff (Kondratiev to revisionists) in 1926, the notion of a 48-64 year economic cycle as a driver of future events is with us even now. Still, there are many questions about “the wave” and how it is … Read More
Is it interest rates climbing that are driving borderline people to finally buy a home? Is the 2009 period gone behind us and never to return? Is the APP BUBBLE going to last forever in Seattle and the Bay Area? Here’s this morning’s press release from S&P: NEW YORK, JUNE 26, 2018 – S&P Dow … Read More
We have a two part report this morning: First a look at a possible bounce today (though of small magnitude) and then the update of the Case-Shiller S&P, CoreLogic (and the pizza guy) Housing numbers around 8:15 *(Central). This morning I’d like to share a tiny speck of my work over on the peoplenomics.com side of … Read More
First off, a morsel of science and conjecture – arising from my recent research – about the world of Dreams. As I continue working on my next book (Psychocartography: the Reality Stacks) something quite extraordinary has into view as a low, but greater than zero, possibility. I’ll try to mash this down as compactly as possible … Read More
If you’re the typical American, transfixed in the headlights of a phone tied-up to useless social(ist) “cause media” – this may not worry you much, but it should: The Stock Markets globally are down another one percent (very roughly) overnight. And, when the US market opens in an hour, or so, we will expect to … Read More
Being a writer, as I half-ass am, there’s a terrible truth that comes out: You can only write as well as you can absorb input. This may be why “Everyone has one book in them,” but when you ask “How many people have four, five, or more books in them?” the field narrows considerably. I’ve … Read More
