My consigliere – a wizened tax attorney – is more than slightly savvy on Money. He was projecting an “economic showdown with China” as early as 1979. And here we are… So, when he called to talk about the “hollow money” problem – we both (being students of Long Wave Economics – knew exactly what … Read More
Our usual Sunday commentary on the non-news, non-financial aspects of Life nearly didn’t happen this morning. Due to a chance encounter with the Marquis de Yard. Unlike the Marquis de Sade, whose works are horny, sketchy, and mean at some levels, the Marquis de Yard was supposed to provide a good time. A few hours with … Read More
I was wrong when I thought my book Packing to Die: Suitcase between your ears” was done. It turns out that upon reflection, there is still a chapter missing. Maybe even a missing “next book.” Which we will rectify today with an additional chapter that will be added to the book (on Kindle) in the … Read More
As you may have guessed, I got up super early Sunday because I forgot that this was “daylight time weekend.” After writing up the outdoor/yardwork and gardening adventures of Saturday, I decided it might be a good idea to “re-synch with the time change.” After a high protein breakfast (two egg tomato and cheese omelet … Read More
Fine tuning of prepping is in the works following the major ice storm in East Texas this past week. Today, a discussion of what we got right and what we got wrong.

A week from now, we will be thawing turkey and telling you about coldzilla or freeze-my-geddon. But this morning, we are stopping at the accident scene on Wall Street on the way to real work. STAT! Broken Neckline We made something of a big deal in our Wednesday Peoplenomics® preopen report about the (then) pending head-and-shoulders formation that was … Read More
First, a big thank you for prayers on behalf of ailing Zeus the Cat. His appetite is back a bit, and between hand feeding of food, some cat kidney pills plus a gentle application of deworming meds, he’s up and about better than a week ago. Now into the projects of this holiday screwed-up week… … Read More
Since one of my (purported) skills is broadcasting, every so often a reader wonders “Why not do an STS article on how to have a super home sound system? Well, OK, this can be really short (“do what sounds best to you”) or really long. Which begins like this: Inputs & Speakers Matter Long ago, … Read More
I’m (wild-ass) guessing son G2 will be back on homestead lands before Christmas. Not that making a boatload of money up north isn’t grand fun, but the fact is the Old Man can’t figure out how his assignment will keep from getting shut down when the world hits the financial skids in the next couple … Read More
The idea of a “lost spiritual technology” that may slow (or halt) the Aging Process is up this morning. Wide-ranging discussion, too. Everything from latest results in transcranial low level laser work, which we described in our “Light Crown” project here in 2016, to some interesting results using “earthing” as a strategy to augment Covid-19 … Read More
Good news – and bad – about those couple of old, tired, worn-out laptops here. The good news is they are all screaming fast. Linux does that. The bad is they have forced me to look again – somewhat realistically – at the odds of the Internet going down within the next three years. As … Read More
