Events over the weekend have led us to considering a “Hype Index” again. Markets are moved, as we’ve learned, from a combination of both fact and fiction. We see the ‘facts’ as pretty obvious in the economic news releases and data updates. But, the fiction? Ah, there’s the rub. Fiction depends on who is writing … Read More
So this morning we put on our “project engineering hat” and begin thinking and planning a migration path from a good experience with basic gardening to something which could become a ‘daily activity planner’ resulting in a never-ending garden. Meaning you might never having to worry about food again – ever. We won’t be using … Read More
(knock on wood) Elaine and I are blessed with amazing genes. Most people take us to be 15-years (or more) younger than we are. There’s a reason for this: I am still very active. Writing, ham radio projects, home improvement projects, the yard and – as we will get into next weekend – there’s also … Read More
EmpSit: Employment Situation Report A couple of hours before the open this morning, Dow Futures were down a bit more than 30 points as the global market is awaiting on US data to see how this week will wind-up. So, here’s the data and there may be a MAGA reality here we need to consider: … Read More
Several items in the ponder-pile today – thinking pieces all: My buddy Gaye who writes StrategicLivingBlog.com has a dandy post on the rampant, runaway, nonsensical divisiveness that the Digital Mob Rule types are using to bring down historical (balanced) America and replace it with their version of socialism they’re all after. The Idiocracy I think … Read More
Follow-up today (with some pictures) from this year’s hydroponic build. We are running a race, of sorts, between the hydroponic tomatoes and their cousins grown in the dirt and in more controlled conditions in large pots in the greenhouse. Junior high school science project? Not quite… If you plan to eat when the crap hits … Read More
We begin our shortened report this morning with a look at how Digital Mob Rule and the Digisurrection are being programmed into our future. The grand-standing efforts of leftist darling Alex Cortez, for example, leading the sycophant east coast press around by their noses, resulted in claims being made that illegal aliens in U.S. government custody were … Read More
When comes to being an “urban survivor” there’s often some uncertainty over what one’s social status is. This week, you have a dandy opportunity to sort that out. Here’s the ‘sort routine.’ If you have the whole week off and there’s no government check involved, congrats. Top of the heap. You have worked hard and … Read More
Faster than Rome, Slower than Venezuela. Maybe. A 20-year colleague in the study of long wave economics has been corresponding with me as we continue to consider how what has been ‘marketed’ as anti-fragile complex society may in fact just be a society unfamiliar with the nature of non-linear systems. Don’t worry; we won’t be … Read More
A fair amount has been written about the woo-woo topic called (variously) automatic writing and channeled writings. Until last week, I’d never given it a whirl. But, life is short, so with the usual “purity of intent” I sat down at the keyboard to see what would “fall out” of unsupervised fingers; uncensored by conscious … Read More
WhoTF do the democrats think they are dealing with? The American People DO NOT PAY TAXES TO SUPPORT ILLEGALS. OMG…this NY Post headline says sums up the antics of this clown posse of tone-deaf SJW lefties: “Trump slams Dems for backing health care for undocumented immigrants.” And amen and NSS. Look: This is a financial … Read More
All I can say this morning is “Wow!” Before I tell you the latest bits of woo-woo, some background (mainly for new readers). I am heavily involved in dream work. In 2008, I started the National Dream Center which Chris McCleary has expanded-upon and furthered in part with chief Nostracodeus programmer Grady’s help. It’s given … Read More
Energy is the ‘new money.’ If you went looking for a ‘new kind of magic’ it would be hard to beat energy. Almost doesn’t matter where it comes from, either. You see, when you invest in “energy” you are investing in a physical good that can make fertilizer, drive cars, power boasts and planes and … Read More
