Super short column today because? Come on! I’m six-months out from 77 and that new super table saw (the Evolution R-10TBLX) is coming out of the box today, one way or the other. So there’s that, and a custom K5WZ horse fence antenna about to land. So, let’s make this quick – I got solar panels … Read More
The Futuring game is always a fine one to play. Especially on a Long Weekend Friday. We like to “ballpark” what life could be like a week from now, by assembling the already-known Future events and then guessing the more probable event pathing to most likely outcomes. If you were to do this as a … Read More
Reader Note: I made a couple of changes to the site you may notice, depending on caffeine loading. The first is the home page is now two columns (except on phones) so you can scan what’s going on more quickly. The other change is to underline links in our content, so it’s (more) clear you’re … Read More
It’s always a “hard choice” come Monday. After a full day off – the only one I afford myself – it’s always a difficult decision whether to write a column that would do a presidential briefer proud. Or, whether to focus instead on the practical matters of life. Even more tempting, as we shall pursue … Read More
The histrionics of ‘weather reporters’ – leaning into non-extent winds and such – are not the “thinking point” today’s note related to “climate change.” Instead, there are a lot of very simple observations and questions regular people (e.g. those without advanced degrees or government grants to come to ‘approved’ conclusions) can make and ACT on. … Read More

Hurricane Lane is taking a swipe at the islands from the south-southwest: With up to 30″ inches of rain coming, a lot of the island’s infrastructure may be damaged. The American Radio Relay League – the largest of the ham radio organizations – has radio gear ready for … Read More
But first, just to close our the Sasquatch discussion (for now), I did briefly entertain the idea of trying to grab video of one. The most common place for them to be seen is after a wildlife kill (they seem to like deer) and then relieving themselves in a nearby river or creek. Tell me a … Read More
I hope my sources on several matters are dead-wrong, but they are usually not. So this morning I’m going to share some inputs with you and then offer up some action points both for you as well as your loved ones. First, an email from my deflationist pal Jas. You know don’t him, but his … Read More
If everything went according to plan, my buddy the retired Major from Gig Harbor will just be stirring as he and his wife arrived at Uretopia Ranch last night. Last, as always, and now done with kibitzing until past midnight. They’re on a stopover enroute to a medical conference in SoCal next week. And we … Read More
(With apologies to Edward Everett Horton of Fractured Fairytales fame): Once upon a time, in a land not-so-far away, there lived a little girl named Fed. She lived in a small cottage, deep in the woods with a strange old woman who called herself Lady Liberty. Often, this kind old lady would stand in a … Read More

If dreams have predictive content, we might soon be reading about a shopping center or mall attack in coming weeks/months. Or – and this is really the more likely – last night’s dream was merely a collection of thought stubs. First, though, let me tell you about the dream itself. The dream was from the viewpoint of what seemed to be a male figure who had just met (or was looking for) a loved one/female figure who was a relatively new hire in a bank or store customer service department in a shopping area.

Let’s start with the macro picture: The latest solar weather prediction center report on the sunspot cycle is out this morning. This is one of our all-time favorite cycles to keep an eye on for they do seem to have a fabulous impact on how the economy does.
