Reader Note:  Our local CenturyLink techs came through and we have enjoyed working internet again for most of the weekend.  The last I’ll mention of it.  Until next time… Circus Poster Monday Imagine you have been given the task of making up a “circus poster” for this week.  What would you put on it? See … Read More

Here’s one of those questions in Education that also applies broadly to Life, but also in spades to the idea of prepping. Ask yourself (honestly):  Are you a buyer or a maker? Elaine and I were talking about this recently because we have from friends who are “stuck” in their life because (to put it … Read More

The ongoing revelations  about forces within the US Government – Department of Justice planning and plotting against President Trump should be shocking-enough. But, what’s even more shocking, is that this is really the third long-wave economic timed coup d’état attempt has occurred in America. What’s more, in the next most recent attempt, the NY Times … Read More

Just a guess, of course, but now many people have even considered the concept of a “private animal language” with their significant one(s)? Ah…as I thought:  Effectively none. Since we live a very unconventional and inquisitive Life – which may offer some useful findings – our almost 19-YEARS of using a “private animal language” is … Read More

Reader Note (CenturyLink adventures, redux):  Here we are – again – SIX DAYS IN – without our full complement of Internet tools including the Nostracodeus server being down.  That’s the one dedicated to running Grady’s “news site-sniffing, word frequency shift-analyzing” code that guides some of our “futuring discussions.”  Out Saturday, Ticketed Sunday, techs locally on … Read More

Reader Note:  The UrbanSurvival HQ is still down two DSL lines.  We have rudimentary, incomplete CenturyLink access.  The lines won’t even complete the company’s own DSL Test online.  So, again, we are posting in pieces today.  The Good News? (Such as it is…) is that we have some very good techs on the case and … Read More

Pardon the long report this morning – something on the order of 5,000 words woth.  But we have some intriguing new ideas about physics that may have some break-through level payoffs. Q-P is Quality Potentiation and it turns out to be an under-studied part of three kinds of science:  Electrical, Mechanical, and Acoustical.  Perhaps, it’s … Read More

So, back to the End of the World.  The gangs have all been sent packing, the neighbors are looking at you like you’re something of a God, having had the good sense to stock up on a dozen GMRS/FRS radios to pass out in the neighborhood along with a month of batteries each.  Which…in a … Read More

First a (Whiny) Reader Note:  Again, we are posting in sections this AM because our [alleged] internet provider here in the Outback (CenturyLate) has not yet repaired our malfunctioning DSL lines. CenturyLate alleges techs will be working on it today.  We’re not totally optimistic.  Pardon me if the tone of my commentary on this degrades … Read More

Reader Note: We published today’s report in sections due to the flakiness of our back-up internet provider (CenturyLate) and because our present connection via satellite may become weather-constrained.  . Kavanaugh Character-Assassination Efforts Weaken as Shock and Awe Theatrics, designed to keep American’s emotionally unbalanced, are upon us again, appear to be fading. Left-wing Webolutionaries are … Read More

Assuming you have your “portable pirate radio to go” figured out, along with enough deep cycle batteries and charge controllers plus solar panels to preserve the fading memory of rock & roll as we described last time around, it’s time to move on to the acoustical instruments that you might find in any studio..instruments that … Read More

Wednesday, we will be presening what may be a breakthrough in physics.  But for this morning, we’re focused on the more mundane issues like “What is driving the market up?”  The answer may surprise you. We will also have a look-see at the New Mexico mystery – and our usual ChartPack that looks at the … Read More

Today we launch into a two-part discussion about how to keep ourselves entertained during those few hours at the End of the World when we’re not fighting-off teaming hordes of zombies, gang leaders, meth-heads, and oh yeah, government agencies which will appoint themselves “takers of what they want” under the color of law. Not kidding … Read More
