…Where the deer and the antelope play. Where seldom is heard…. Oh…sorry. Got off into the weeds there (not that kind) thinking about our latest experiment in personal health and wellness. A little story as background: When I was a child (back when television wasn’t around) I had athsma something terrible. Then, along in about … Read More
We are not on the distro list, but we need to ask: is it reasonable that the futures market would only be down 56 points on the Dow after a weekend like this one? I mean think about it: Japan was down more than 3-1/2 percent overnight. Hong Kong was down 2-1/2 percent. Europe is … Read More
It all started off so nicely: There was a bit of real work done around here Saturday. Panama had the big orange noise and dust-maker out, so the area looks like a golf course. Elaine come through with perfectly sautéed mushrooms to top a perfect steak and baked Yukon Gold’s on the BBQ. A movie … Read More
Better not plan your traditional trip to the mall for 2020 Christmas shopping, just yet. The Mall may not be there. Global war has broken out in retailing as Amazon and Wal-Mart are taking their “cash registers to the people” and while there may be some economies of scale, the word anti-trust and “mom & … Read More
We are waiting patiently to see whether the “financial clotting system” will work in coming weeks, since the recent market action (to the upside) has been accompanied by record low volume for the year. Being a “sick puppy” by nature, I am always searching for creative and useful anologies in order to help me understand … Read More

So when he offered to do a details looking at home solar for both the prepper and economically minded, it didn’t take but a second to accept. Here’s what he sent in: Note: … Read More

Yet there are reports this morning that not only is Soros short (betting markets will decline), but specifically he is concerned with the future of the European Union’s economic prospects. There is some logic to Soros moves, which the Wall St. … Read More
Although UrbanSurvival has been in the prepping space since 1997 when economics and being ready for “What’s the WORST that could happen?” we do admit taking a few years to rest on our laurels. With good reason, I might add: Once you make a decision to prep and actually do it, most of your preps … Read More
We launch into a new series of articles – ideal for first timers who have been denied the opportunity to make money with money before in life. Getting started in the market isn’t difficult, but when you’re retired and on Social Security…how does that work? We are about to find out. After the charts and … Read More
Normally, I wouldn’t begin with an “I told you so…” But this is a BIGGY. Because it’s a splendid example of how you can sit out in the backwoods of East Texas and figure out things long before the rest of the world. In the beginning, there was Social Media. It sounded like fun, although … Read More
I was sitting in the sun room one afternoon last week and it dawned on me that I didn’t really need to have as many radios as I have. And since my BroInLaw was eyeing the aircraft receiver monitoring Ft. Worth Center which is (to Elaine’s dismay) sitting a counter in the kitchen, I offered … Read More
No, it is not posting more inane crap on FB. No, it is not wasting time on Hollywood crap dressed as news. No, it is not recounting your weekend adventures, nor bragging about the size of your hangover or conquests of the weekend. And no, it is not about wishing that you were able to … Read More
