A number of Peoplenomics subscribers (and a few others) have made a personal investment in auxiliary solar systems for their home. Although, it makes the power industry a bit crazy: Home solar’s contribution to the grid is an algorithmic demand management nightmare. Take our place, for example: With an existing 3.5 kw of power from … Read More
While we’re waiting to become fabulously wealthy when the market collapses, we manage to squeeze in a bit of “Saving Humanity from Itself” as well. As you should be aware, there has been a massive dump of UAP/UFO data this week from the C.I.A.’s work in the area, thanks to efforts of Glenn Greenwald at … Read More
Having grown up in a majority-Asian neighborhood, there is a certain art to Asian cooking that brings joy to the palate. In particular, this week’s Thursday afternoon dinner of teriyaki chicken. Lots of options here, depending on schedules, amount of labor you want to invest, and so on. For those on a short clock, boneless, … Read More
I suppose we ought to start with the retail data just out: Saved by the auto industry, looks like to us. (Who the hell is driving?) With CV-19 still raging – and variants popping up – should be interesting to see how the coming few months roll. Do people have anywhere left in their homes … Read More
It’s not something that most people are aware of, but it goes a long-ways toward explaining why the Dems are so anxious to bring the Trump Impeachment II to conclusion. The Former President’s Act, better known around law schools as 3 U.S.C. § 102 has been around since 1958. Here’s the part we find ourselves noodling: (3 U.S.C. § … Read More

A few headlines and of course this morning’s ChartPack to set the mood. But then our meat and potatoes as new research keeps us … Read More
Seldom have times been easier for an honest writer. There are so many “hot topics” around that it boggles the mind. So, still in recovery mode from our snow event, we will keep it short in order to (more importantly) “keep it warm.” Small Business Optimism Collapses National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) publishes an … Read More
Local power company had the lights on in just over 90-minutes last night. Following the big East Texas Blizzard of ’21. All the parts of the operation here that “fail-over” to backups worked fine. Lights off in the house was actually a pleasant change. Too lazy to dip into our 500 gallons of propane for … Read More

Send some of them ‘hot air politicians’ out, pronto! We wanna show ’em why even in sunny East Texas, there’s a reason why solar is not the sole answer to climate and powering fleets of cars…can you figure it out without help? Next up, repair of an MFJ-989C antenna tuner (long lead turns counter belt … Read More
I’m trying to write shorter – more useful – columns. Because as Elaine’s mobility has “wound-down” prior to hip surgery, I’m been spending less time “in the chair” than usual. And more time playing lead in the local production of the “Odd Couple”. (Planned for release as “The Bunny and the Geek.”) Masks Work Better … Read More
Occasionally, in order to get across our somewhat unorthodox views, we will resort to fiction. We have done this with great success in our tales of Directorate 153.
