Our starting point this morning is a thank-you nod to the 3806 KHz (LSB) ham radio crew which is around overnights on the weekend. Spent some quality time with ’em this morning making antenna measurements in order to figure out what’s next for the Antenna Dept. You see, Winter isn’t far off. And that’s when … 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
Although we had legit concerns about Taiwan being subject to a Chinese grab over the long weekend, good sense (and a super-typhoon) prevailed. So, we reckon this to be “strike three” for “Divine Winds.” (For the other two in 1274 and 1281 consult your history books.) Which brings us to this morning and what – … Read More
Ah – misplaced the old decoder ring because of National Tequila Day, Sunday, right? Let me help: Our Agendizer for the week (which looks like a Brisqi Kanban board (which we will also cover this morning) uses these abbreviations as placeholders in my dynamite columns. Or, ones like this… CFNAI Chicago Fed National Activity Indicator. This … Read More
DJ Ure spinning our way into Week-from-Fed insanity as made-up money’s implosion continues. Our Morning After Monday mood-setting is “A House is Not a Home – first released in 1964 by Dione Warwick. Later rekindled by Luther Vandross. His version lacked some of the “Mahalia” energy channeled in Warwick’s set, and lacking some of “Ella’s” … Read More
I haven’t read every book about the artform called Disney Imagineering, but I’ve got a pretty good start. Half a dozen books by geniuses like Rolly Crump. Marty Sklar, Richard Sherman, and how could we overlook two incredible handbooks on underlying processes by Lou Prosperi? One is The Imagineering Pyramid: Using Disney Theme Park Design Principles to Develop … Read More
Some while back, I mentioned that I’d picked up the Chineseum welder model similar to what’s on Amazon – like this one ($28) – which is “similar-to” the very reliable Smith Little Torch which – at $155 – is a shade more expensive. Before my review of the offshore entry, a few words contexting things for … Read More
My latest adventures in the world of medicine – like a recent nuclear treadmill test – have lit a series of interesting linkages. This morning we raise some fascinating questions about prophesy, the role of hypoxia, and then wonder is sleep apnea exists to “pave the way” into our personal future. This may seem like … Read More
Right out of the box, I’d have to say that there has been tremendous fluctuation in the fate of hobby shops around the world. Covid, all that.

This is really a report on faddish Accounting, because it drives so much else. Including retirement. Or, given there is a shortage of workers in the country, de-retirement. Jacob Soll’s book The Reckoning: Financial Accountability and the Rise and Fall of Nations provided some of the impetus for the ideas herein. Soll’s next book, Free … Read More
Let’s see how well we can summarize what has been an ugly political opera this week remembering that old Joe South song from my rock ‘n roll pass: Games People Play. Three-War Monte is the aware person’s war metaphor for the old carnie game: “…also known as Find the Lady and Three-card Trick – is a confidence game in which the victims, … Read More
Before we get started with the news, collapse of civilization, and never-ending excessive government, let’s have a “group moment” and look into the future. Channeling the Future The early futures pricing had the Dow and the S&P up. Yet, the dollar was stronger, too. Which often (but not always) means it will “take less dollars” for … Read More
