Waiting for Moment “R” – Wandering Archetypes

Again, AI offered a warning to me about column length: “The piece has at least five columns’ worth of ideas trying to ride in one wagon.”  Yes, perhaps so. But that’s the Muse for you.

No, we are not going to share the 40-page ChartPack posted for Peoplenomics.com subscribers.  But we will mention that one of our recent concerns is how people miss the decline of stocks that pay actual (cash to shareholder) dividends.

See, there are two things that happen when dividends decline: First, the only way to make money in stocks is by running up prices.  Second: this effectively puts a cap on bonds. With a line around the block to buy a bond with a half-ass good interest coupon it does things to rates.

Size Matters

A couple of decades back, my consigliere thought I was wrong (yeah, unthinkable, right?) when I asserted that the stock market was “bigger than the bond market.”

But (and we both learned something) they were – at the time – roughly equal.  Thing is?  That ship has kept on sailing.

America’s stock market now towers over its corporate bond market: U.S. corporate bonds outstanding are about $11.5 trillion, while the market value of U.S. corporate equities is several times larger, running into the tens of trillions.

We’re clearly in the 1929 Replay’s “All the real gamblers moved to Wall St.” The long shift away from cash dividends and toward buybacks and price appreciation is solid and undeniable.  As investors became conditioned to seek returns through rising stock prices instead of steady dividend income, equities gained relative appeal. Bonds lost some of their old “income vehicle” advantage. Warren and the late Charlie Munger sure noticed, though.

That doesn’t prove dividends alone shrank the bond market, but it does fit the broad capital-allocation story.  Which changed the overall mindset from “investing” to “everyone gambles.”

Here’s how the bones were rolling, in the alley out back, before the bell.

The 200 day moving average is kind of a “big deal.”

Not Magic, But…

The 200-day moving average matters because a lot of institutional money treats it as the market’s long-term trend line — not magic, but a widely watched risk filter.

When tech is above the 200-day, many fund managers are more comfortable adding exposure, defending existing positions, and explaining to committees that they are leaning with the primary trend; when it falls below, the same line often triggers de-risking, tighter stops, reduced gross exposure, or at least a pause in fresh buying.

It also matters because breadth work often tracks how many stocks are above their own 200-day lines, making it a quick read on whether a rally is broad and healthy or just a few glamour names doing the lifting.

In that sense, a test of the 200-day is less about chart mysticism than about institutional psychology, risk control, and whether big money views the trend as intact.

Is the reason for mentioning this the next two data points which are today’s side-order with coffee?  No.

Look at today’s date.  That means tomorrow is “Friday the 13th.”

Moment “R” – Data and Triskaidekaphobia

The problem is in trying to estimate Moment R.  The Recognition Moment comes when the human herd finally spooks and tramples the financial fences that have kept us all penned up and answering to one local or regional rancher, or other, for almost a century.  Before that? The world had frontiers and many people “just left.”  But that doesn’t help much this morning.

Nothing to see here (he said pointing to trade figures). Key presser snip?

“The U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis announced today
that the goods and services deficit was $54.5 billion in January, down $18.4 billion from $72.9 billion in December, revised.

Or here, either (pointing at Unemployment filing data).

Tomorrow we’ll wait for the (dollar valuation influenced) GDP and stay up early for the monthly Personal Income and Outlay figures.  Where the value of your home is figured in as “personal savings.”

Al Capone should have had such accountants.

Trouble in Hormuz

You’ll have to pardon your cynical editor for this. But, we are terribly amused with English state media – run by the country whose irresponsible statecraft back when – comes out to tell the world What is the Strait of Hormuz and why does it matter? Heavy-handed British lines on maps have continued to be problematic.

Examples?  You betcha.

If you want just the short list of British cartographic hangovers still rattling world affairs, start with the Radcliffe Line in India/Pakistan, hurriedly drawn in 1947 and still echoing through Kashmir, border militarization, and even water disputes; add the Durand Line, the old British India–Afghanistan boundary that Afghanistan has never fully accepted and which still feeds Pakistan-Afghan tension and border violence today; and, at the grand strategic level, the Sykes-Picot-era carving up of the Ottoman lands, where European line-drawing helped harden the modern map of the Middle East in ways that never matched sectarian, tribal, or historical realities on the ground.

Punchline, please? When people joke about British officials with rulers and maps, they’re not entirely joking — some of the most consequential “just draw it here” decisions of empire are still producing bills payable in blood and instability.

So when British state media offers insight, we find a large salt block in the pasture before reading further.

Not that Hormuz Doesn’t Matter

I never said it didn’t.  You can’t “float 20 percent of the world’s crude past” every day and not expect trouble.

Iran effectively closes Strait of Hormuz as U.S.-Israel strikes continue. And while we’re still deliberating what (if any) reality remains in social comments from Fearless Leader.

Speaking Fearless

He’s running interference for (whoever the GOP runs in) 2028. Post on Truth Social“:

“Gavin Newscum’s interview weeks ago was, perhaps, the most self destructive interview I’ve ever seen. In one fell swoop, he took himself out of even being considered as the Presidential Nominee of the Crazy (as proven at the State of the Union Address) Democrats. He said, in a speech, he was dumb, had low Boards, can’t read, has dyslexia, and has a mental disorder — A Cognitive Mess! On top of that, Black People are angry because he is obviously a racist. While we all want to be politically correct, having a mental disorder is not a positive campaign event. Also, this was a politically suicidal act. The only thing he didn’t say is he is losing his look, but nobody wants to say that about one’s self. He is no longer a viable Presidential Candidate! President DJT”

Fearless might have missed this: Newsom is not dead at all. In the current RealClearPolitics average for the 2028 Democratic nomination, he is running second at 20.7%, behind Kamala Harris at 28.3%; and in two of the most recent polls in that average, he actually led — 24% to 18% in an Echelon poll from Feb. 19–23, 2026, and 19% to 18% in a Yahoo News poll from Feb. 9–12, 2026.

Kamala?  Oh, Lordy, please, no.  (Can we have a drink and talk about it?)

Around the Ranch: Wandering Archetypes

I must be reading Andy’s comments too much. Because there’s a certain state of elevated awareness when domain adjacencies smack you upside the head.

Just this morning, I noticed in the news flow Bud’s Chicken & Seafood opens new Boynton Beach restaurant.  Andy – who lived out in the Alki area of Seattle, no doubt drove past Spud Fish and Chips up there.

Bud’s is on the opposite diagonal of the country – Spud on the other.  The kind of thing that walks through the archetypes – you notice – and just have to ask “Is that a clue to how randomness works?”  (I’ll have to get back to you…)

Welcome to IMAX-like Dreams

Reader d’Lynn – our undefeated high-stakes private poker kingpin (since retired) – posted a really interesting dream about being on a fast trimaran sailboat (west coast to Hawaii downhill run) where his dream is absolutely worth reading here.

The second part of d’Lynns dream is here.

My consigliere and I have been tossing this around.  Would a nuclear event – late night totally dark -even be visible at 1,100 miles?  I pushed the question out to the AI stack.

“At 1,100 miles, the first question is pure geometry: from near sea level, something has to be extremely high to be seen over Earth’s curvature. Using the standard horizon formula, an observer a few feet above the water would need the luminous event to be on the order of 150 miles up to have direct line of sight at that range. That means a normal surface or low-air nuclear burst is a poor fit. Classic nuclear clouds are far lower than that: The Effects of Nuclear Weapons gives a typical 10-kiloton air burst cloud height around 19,000 feet, and even larger nuclear clouds are generally discussed in the tens of thousands of feet, not 150 miles.

So your consigliere may be closer to the mark if the dream image is interpreted as a sudden brilliant sky-flash rather than a directly seen “object” at the horizon. Meteors and bolides produce very bright flashes high in the atmosphere, and NASA notes even small meteoroids can create fireballs visible hundreds of miles away. But even there, 1,100 miles is a long stretch for a direct view of an ordinary meteor at normal luminous heights; the cleaner physical fit for that kind of distance would actually be a high-altitude detonation — something way up in the upper atmosphere — not a conventional nuke near the surface. So the physics answer is: ordinary nuke, probably no; ordinary meteor, also doubtful at 1,100 miles direct line-of-sight; very high-altitude event, yes, that’s the one category that works cleanly.”

Putting on my deer-stalker cap (Sherlock) we therefore deduce that the first strike of WW III will be – if this dream has any precognitive layers to it – a coordinated HEMP strike.  Above the Kármán Line to pretend it was not an attack on U.S. soil.  “Two of our nuclear powered satellites were just taken over by hackers!” kind of thing. Warning to the world, deniability…

And the explosion, seen in the dream, off in the direction of Hawaii? Not exactly over (but close enough) to Hawaii and with San Diego or the Seattle .mil complexes in the footprint…

OK, but the catch is that it is not a neat gray-zone trick. It would be extraordinarily escalatory, hard to hide, and likely harmful to the attacker’s own space interests as well. CSIS and ODNI both frame a nuclear detonation in space as indiscriminate and devastating, not as some clean “hackers blew up two satellites” cover story. So: might an enemy think about it? Yes. Would a rational major power prefer murkier first moves first? Also yes.

Today’s point to all this?  Odd how “wandering archetypes” roll out perception threshold events. Sometimes as a quiet question up to “waking self.” Other times premiering overnight at the Megaplex between our ears.

Quakes and pole shifts first, anyone?

Dow futures now down almost 400 so, yeah.  200-DMA approaches.  That’s a dandy solvent for Happy-Endings theories, though.

    • re: “War and Peace”, Tolstoy, 1869
      feat: not Rostov-on-Don

      The President of the Ukraine posted excerpts from his Wednesday interview at the palace in Kyiv with a Berlin-based German editor of “Politico”. The Israeli-leaning media platform is operated by an American billionaire. He succeeded his father to be the final ceo 20+ years ago at Washington’s Riggs Bank. The financial institution struggled in its final years with alleged connections to dictator Pinochet, and later to 9/11 hijackers. As chance would have it, the bank’s 1909 president offered an outline to Congress of what would become the Fed in 1913. Riggs Bank’s former main branch can be located in the background of US $10 banknotes.

      By the time of his next posting, the Ukrainian President could be seen greeted by his counterpart in Romania. Curiously the red carpet layout resembled a typical EU caution or road sign yield instruction. The first few video frames depicted a delivering Mercedes limo sedan bearing diplomatic plates from neither Ukraine nor Romania. Its rank number matches an unassigned area code sometimes employed by fraudsters. The partially visible plate points to registration in Germany by any one of nine nations’ foreign consulates. The letters on the plate correspond to the 113 indexed works of composer Richard Wagner. In this case, I’m not sure of one or none between 41, 42, 86A or 86B.

      Mad Max/Road Warrior

      Narrator: My life fades. The vision dims. All that remains are memories. I remember a time of chaos… ruined dreams… this wasted land. But most of all, I remember The Road Warrior. The man we called “Max.”

      To understand who he was, you have to go back to another time… when the world was powered by the black fuel… and the desert sprouted great cities of pipe and steel. Gone now… swept away.

      For reasons long forgotten, two mighty warrior tribes went to war, and touched off a blaze which engulfed them all. Without fuel they were nothing. They’d built a house of straw. The thundering machines sputtered and stopped. Their leaders talked and talked and talked. But nothing could stem the avalanche. Their world crumbled. The cities exploded. A whirlwind of looting, a firestorm of fear. Men began to feed on men. On the roads it was a white line nightmare. Only those mobile enough to scavenge, brutal enough to pillage would survive. The gangs took over the highways, ready to wage war for a tank of juice.

      • you know the interesting thing…..

        people around me have been giving me weapons lately. a friend gave me that Book of Eli, Knife. the one from the movie. another gave me a really nice set of brass knuckles. my girlfriend was at work and someone tried to sneak in a blackjack hand weapon, so they were told to take it to their car or they could leave it at the gate. the fella just gave it to her. she kept it and gave it to me. another gave me a pocket knife with the gold sphere of the earth on it and a Male Lion inscibed on the handle.

        i used to own a Springfield Armory .45 tacticle pistol. i sold durring my last divorce to a friend 10 years ago. the day of my divorce was finalizes

        he called me out of the blue and said you want to buy it back? $300? now, i must have shot atleast 5000 rounds through that pistol. it is engraved with a scripture:

        Job 38:11.

        George will remember this. i accidently shot myself in the left hand with it shortly after we met. it has a small defect that when you drop the mag, it chambers a round. so you have to clear the pistol twice before you disassemble it. blew “the moon” portion off the back of the palm of my hand. if you were a palm reader.

        that is how i met my second wife. she was my wound care specialist. and i sold it to him the day my divorce was finalized.

        remember George,
        “nothing says I love you like a 45.”

        interesting that he would call me out of the blue and offer to sell it back to me.

        now, I could have fixed that defect in that pistol but i thought, if i am ever forced to clear it and drop the mag? i know i have one left in the chamber. and i would be the only one who knew it would fire that round even with no mag present.

        that is very big advantage over anyone who thinks they they have the uper hand, in a gun fight. so i left it that way.

        now, I have not sought out any weapons at all. yet, there is a massive uptick in my personal life of them coming to me. they are being brought to me, for a reason.

        hmmmmmm. Well THE DUDE knows best.

        I Win with God within.

        • Tolkien quotes the Book of Job, in The Lord of the rings,

          When Gandolf The Grey says to the Ancient Demon, “You shall not pass!”

          and then Gandolf the Grey becomes Galdolf The White.

          Tolkien credits The Book of Job as his inspiration in that scene.

          or so i Heard,

          job 38:11

          “Thus far shall you come but no farther, and here shall your proud waves stop?”

          this particular pistol i do not need to sight in. i have fired over 5000 rounds through it. after shooting it that many times, it is extention of me. i just know, where the bullet is going every shot.

          showing off once, we lined up 13 random bottle caps on a hill 75 to 100 feet away and i hit every one of them in succesion until the mag ran dry.

          back when i had dillon RLB Press and made my own amo. only had one bullet ever not fire, and i made that bullet myself. had a bad primer.

          i have alot of respect for that pistol, because i know wait for it. wait for it…..

          i know first hand the damage it can do.

          heading to the gym with the woman, and then taking her out for dinner, she just got back into college to finish her law degree.

          yes. sir she is a keeper. and yes i know, age 55, im dating a college girl. hahahhaa. THE DUDE is Good to me!

          This implies that if civilization breaks down at some time in the perhaps, near future, you will be involved in hand to hand combat situations.

          If someone gives you a baseball bat with spikes in the head of the bat that could be a clue. Can’t rule anything out. You may end up in a ring in a fight to the death like Snake Plisken in Escape From New York. Anything is possible.

          one has HOLY Scripture written on it. The Book of Job is of course the oldest written book in the Bible.

          I am not afraid for my safety in Hand to Hand Combat. I am how ever, afraid for the enemy, for THE DUDE is with me.

          i have given hundreds of examples of THE DUDE going to bat for me and knocking it out of the park, right here on UrbanSurvival.

          When THE DUDE arms you for Mortal Combat, He is telling you something.

          It has been my experiance, that if I dont have it? i dont need it. if I will need it, it is given to me in advance.

      interesting you should mention this. i ran into my friend who owns the old Titan Missle base in Washington, last Saturday. you could live down there for 70+ years. we chatted a while. realy nice fella. he really fixed the place up. put in an olympic sized pool and purchased 3 pallets of m-16’s left on the battle field in afganistan. to be stored in “The Vault” below. i presume, you have to be in the know, to get deals such as these.

      a few days ago, he asked me to speak for 15 minutes to a group on 03/21.

  10. Hank – I checked my notes and nowhere did I write ‘The Big Island”, I did mention Oahu a couple of times. I have no idea why I typed that., must be a reason., but it escapes me..,

    Did the math and from my distance to see a light flash that bright it had to be over 80 miles up over the islands – sounds like an EMP – to me. Maybe? I seem to remember reading that a ‘designed’ EMP device would be most effective at 120 miles.., or more.

    I didn’t mention Guam – I believe that was Andy. Guam seems like a viable target – one low yield cruise missile would do the job.

    The only 60 foot Tri I can find is a Rapido 60 – I have no idea how I know it’s a 60 footer. I never saw the entire boat. I will look for some interior shots.., – found some interior shots – it is not a Rapido 60. The Galley and Nav Station are completely different. I have no idea who the builder is.

    If it was an air-burst meteor [Tunguska Russia ] – why was the Panama Canal closed?

    Too many questions. Hopefully I will have the dream again and can explore with more direct detail.

    • Experience hints the best way to get there may be to either attempt connecting with the last feeling you had at the end o this one or go back to the starting ground whicvh which the rapido dream began – it may play out diffeently this time, but it will get in adjacent domain spaces and may be an echo

      • D’lynn, if i might make a sigjestion.

        ask and wait let the answer come to you. i cant count how many times i have done this and the answer always comes.

        i have said DUDE, show me this? or What does this detal mean and a day later sitting in the car at a convience store with the window down while my woman is inside someone walks by my car talking to someone else and completely answers my question. and many such other occurances and examples of the Answer coming too me in forms such as these.

        not sure if that helps, but i hope it does.

        George, Lately I have spoke with atleast 15 people who are all unrelated that have told me about having a fear that something Big is going to happen soon.

        6 of them said they think it has to do with Fifa World Cup which is in Seattle this year. 8 of them said they think its a false flag type event like 9/11 on US soil.

        they all said its like that feeling that is going to snow, you can just sence it in the air before it snows. Then it snows. all 15 people over the space of a week do not know or talk to each other. yet they all said the same thing, almost verbatium.

        i didnt ask them, they just told me about this feeling, in regular conversation about life.

        i pay attention when that occures. espcially when that many people say the same thing. and im loading up on weapons, when im not even seeking them out. all these weapons are coming to me on thier own accord.

        hmmmmmm. and then just so happen to speak to a few from the 13 families. and find out the last of a bloodline, is at its end.

        right before Friday the 13th.

        honestly, I dont really like all the doom stuff. i like things the way they are. id like the economy to do better. fuel prices go down, lots of work, sex and a bit of fun.

        but im not running the show. I did tell THE DUDE, if the shit really hits the fan? i am going need to need a really really really fast car.
        please send that burnt orange dodge demon and that dream catcher hanging on the rearview mirror. that one will work for sure.

        ;)

        i dont say everything i see. i just said a few things i dont normally share about. i just let everything be what it is. and do my best to navigate it all.

        hmmmmmmm…
        what was the song that was playing in the car as the world was ending….?

        oh yes! The Pancake song! the one with the symbol of the 4 corners in the form of a pancake, in the video.

        • Very good obserations young (at least in comnparison) man. One other to keepo your eye out for – a lot of seniorsd I know are “doing like a last clean up” thing – like everyone’s getting ready for Important Company. Watch for it and tell me if you notice it, too… thanks

        • that is interesting you should say that. i have also noticed this. more than a few people.

          even my own woman. she cancled all her appointments for the day. then went and completely cleaned the entire house. rearranged the furniture, even in the bedroom. then went to her house and did the exact same thing there. hauled a bunch of loads to the good will to declutter her place.

          i said thank you so much. she said i dont know what came over me. i woke up as you were getting ready for work, right as you walked out the door, i went down and started cleaning your fridge out, taking it appart and wiping everything down. i stopped made more coffee, called and cancled all my appointments for the day and finished your place then ran home and did my place.

          i was telling my buddy about it who wants to sell me my .45 back and he said his wife skipped work for the first time in 20 years, called in sick and cleaned the entire house. after she was done with the house, she went out and cleaned their camper they use on the back of hier truck. he said he asked her, “you called in sick to clean the house and the camper?” you have never called in sick a day in your life.”

          she said to him, “i dont know what came over me, but it was at the time the most important thing in the world to do it. so i did it.”

          and more than a few others. the niegbors hauled 3 load of stuff to the dump this weekend. they were super busy cleaning their property and house. the whole family was.

          i sure like a clean house. but that is odd. and not normal behavior.

    • EMP is ideally 125-225 miles up, depending on size and configuration. IIRC ideal size is between 100-250kT, also depending on a number of variables…

        • Not connected.

          Erika never met, or even saw either Epstein or Maxwell, never had dealings with them or with anything in which either was involved. The closest she got was when she won “Miss Arizona.” Look up the searchable “Epstein files” (and search “Erika” or “Kirk” or “Frantzve”).

          Candace might be connected to Ghislaine, though. She’s the right age, and was living in the NY area when Gizzy was recruiting “talent” and “procurement agents.”

          Candace joined TPUSA in 2017, specifically to bed Charlie, and permanently lost her shit when he chose Erika over her. She’s damaged goods, an absolute, certifiable nutjob, and insanely jealous of Erika. I don’t understand why you put faith in her crap. It’s worthless, and her mindless followers are, well, they need a hobby…

  11. Iran’s new leader says Hormuz should stay closed. He just predicted a whole hell of a lot more bombing and destruction for his country. Military action against Iran will not stop until they reopen the Straits. [ IMO ]
    .
    It is just a rumor at the moment. But no one has seen the new leader since he was appointed. The two statements he has made were neither recorder, nor filmed.., they were read by the state media. Most of Iran has no idea what he sounds like.
    The rumor is that he is in hospital, with multiple injuries from an air strike launched by Israel.

    Iranian media has revealed that Mojtaba Khamenei, who was selected as Iran’s new supreme leader, was wounded in an airstrike at some point. There are reports about the Khamenei being injured, but the extent of the injury is unknown, although some Israeli media claimed it to be fatal.

    No proof.

  12. Healthex partners with Microsoft to bring consumers’ personal health history to copilot health

    Partnership combines digital identity, comprehensive health records, and consent infrastructure to power Microsoft’s new personalized, AI-powered health insights

    “Records are scattered, visits are short, and too many people delay care because they don’t know where to start. Microsoft’s vision for Copilot Health meets people where they are and gives them tools to be more informed. HealthEx ensures that the Copilot Health experience is grounded in their comprehensive, up-to-date health history, always on their terms.”

    • I presume you mean “always on Microsoft’s terms”. I’ve had many entities offering to take and store my medical information, as if I had any. What part of “Hell no!” don’t they understand. The only place for health information is in the hands of the individual or his trusted representatlve. I’m not aware of anyone that honestly trusts Microsoft.

  13. I have no idea how people are able to live in dreams for their duration and recall specific details. I’ve not had those experiences despite trying hard over the years. Perhaps I requires a specific type of person.

  14. GU : “… my consigliere thought I was wrong (yeah, unthinkable, right?) when I asserted that the stock market was “bigger than the bond market.”

    But (and we both learned something) they were – at the time – roughly equal. […]

    America’s stock market now towers over its corporate bond market: U.S. corporate bonds outstanding are about $11.5 trillion, while the market value of U.S. corporate equities is several times larger, running into the tens of trillions. …”

    First and foremast (OBSCON) you should put away the mouse, park near Ma Bell, call your Consigliere to repent. Here, just say this: “I was wrong and you were right” then talk about the WX (weather). No one who views the balance between Equity and Debt market stops after counting _just_ Corporate debt [unless applying thumb to scale]. Add your Corp total to the US Government debt, the Treasury market : every long bond, bill and note. For good measure add the when issued for a year to add ballast. Wait, did we add in the Munis? Then, cut the Corporate Equity side in half (as in 2000 and 2008). Who is the Gorilla in the room?

    Disclosure : I have a long affair going with the Bond market. Works on math.

    On the 2028 General. Could we please skip talking about that until … 2028? Leaders are vapor. It’s way more likely a lesser relative unknown will emerge, possibly (my bet) a Governor. They have executive experience. Except Gov. Walls in MN. But mostly … plus, one hastens to mention it’d be really sad to trail the last loser. But, hush, won’t go there. Really. Our government might work better if candidates were only allowed to *run* for three months. Spend the other (21) months actually governing? OK, will go take meds.

    On WX : we have been whacked twice in 10 days (twice featuring tornadoes) with a third slugfest on tap tomorrow, Friday the 13th. Unless at deaths door I have scheduled back-2-back appts with my sister’s CPA then my (new, TBD) CPA. Think I’ll go to the dentist and call all my Lawyers for good measure. Did I mention they are calling for 60 mph winds? I may get positive gas mileage on the way home. Unless (more) trees block the roads. Then -0- mph -0- gas use. Film at 11.

    Sailors delight : glad to see wind on the water.
    Let’s you know moment to look leeward.
    Buckle up kids. Be kind to others …

    ps – two failures later I am replacing the replacement battery on my Explorer Sport. Seems expensive but I’ll spend triple that with the CPAs :0/

    • Ideally, you have a master switch to disconnect the battery. Too many parasitic loads, or even a bad alternator diode. Regardless, a master switch puts you back in control and may save a battery. I’d install one – they’re cheap. Either that or disconnect the battery every time. Best of luck.

    • “On WX : we have been whacked twice in 10 days (twice featuring tornadoes) with a third slugfest on tap tomorrow”

      I think Sunday will be worse. From springtime back to winter within a few hours, possibly under blizzard conditions, is going to be brutal. You’re still getting plenty of snow. My Sunday is: High: 74° Low: 24° and Monday is High: 30° and Low: 9° (also with snow.)

      I was up between FWA and JXN for your second cyclone issue. I wanted no part of that Kankakee-to-Knox crap. One way to chase tornadoes for many years is to never actually catch one, and those were frickin’ dangerous cells. SPC wanted nobody out, but the real idea with storm-spotting is to give people a few minutes (or even seconds) of extra prep time before their houses get relocated. That was why I took meteorology classes and went to spotter school instead of that course on viral videos from Clickbait Central.

      I suggest you keep yer head down and that spinnaker stowed until she blows herself out.

      Your battery thing is interesting. I replaced the battery in my Expedition, last fall. The battery store foist an AGM on me. With this battery, I have to have the truck plugged into a trickle-charger if the overnight temperature dips below 17°F or it will not start. I have a 200A NOCO box and I’ve run it down three times this winter — previous winters, I didn’t use it three times, let alone use it up.

      I built a helper winch using a HF UTV winch, mounting plate, hook, and a removable trailer coupler. It drops on my hitch ball in back, or hooks to the tow ring up front. I added it and a 16″ Husky to my “weather gear.” It would not be an especially elegant solution for getting unstuck or having to deal with a road full of deadfalls, but it would work.

      Be safe…

  15. I cannot imagine any candidate floated by either major party to be suitable for the office of president. Both parties seem to offer only their least competent candidates, and I may not even vote in the 2028 election unless there’s a viable candidate. One vote makes no difference in a national election, and voting is a vote of confidence in the system.

    One potential candidate worth considering if he would even run is Colonel Douglas Macgregor. He seems to be a solid soul who realizes the gravity of his and others’ decisions. It would be a major sacrifice on a personal level, and I have no idea what party would tolerate him. After all, modern civilization has no tolerance for the truth or reality itself.

    Meanwhile, I see nothing but doom ahead. Oil(and fertilizer) is our lifeline and we’ve done a great job of destroying the availability of a great deal of both. Much higher prices will kill the economy, and may even lead to ration cards. I see zero benefit in this war other than feeding a few egos. It’s certainly changing our place in the world from being the world’s greatest power to being a placeholder, like Britain after WW2.

  16. “You’ll have to pardon your cynical editor for this. But, we are terribly amused with English state media – run by the country whose irresponsible statecraft back when – comes out to tell the world What is the Strait of Hormuz and why does it matter? Heavy-handed British lines on maps have continued to be problematic.”

    There’s a meme floating around: Just rename it “Strait of Trump”

  17. “CSIS and ODNI both frame a nuclear detonation in space as indiscriminate and devastating, not as some clean “hackers blew up two satellites” cover story. So: might an enemy think about it? Yes. Would a rational major power prefer murkier first moves first? Also yes.”

    Iran is an irrational theocracy…

    • Lol lol… well.. I tried to read the.. ODNI.. threat assessment.. what I discovered is..their library is as tight and unavailable to old geezers in the wastelands as YALES… library….

  19. Its kind of like my solar tower and hand out grid tie systems..its the cheaper alternative to having a stringer grid that costs less overall but doesn’t produced the profit margins of the centralized distribution system we have today t hug at leaves our country vulnerable and weak..

    Here’s a picture made by So that shows my idea of the three sided tower I have thought about most of my life..every substation is what ten miles apart depending on tower cost and installation cists..the solar panels are realistic fly inexpensive..the tower would only be the activator for the grid tie home working as nodes.. where today we use fat wallies pocket business model lol..

    https://chatgpt.com/s/m_69b30bf4b0c08191830959d6941c1cfa

    chat got was able to finally draw the three sided tower idea..
    Then it created an internal see through showing the internal structures..

    https://chatgpt.com/s/m_69b30e18f72c8191963658e2dd192a9b

    I’ve dreamt about this and said it most of my life..not a centralized system like we have today but A distribution system..each working independently but collectively supporting each other.. Chinas actually doing similar but using majority of coal fired..while everyone else is without power they will be working..

    • I worked with people maybe twenty years aggo that designed a tracking solar collector, mounted in banks of ten, at optimum angle for latitude exposure. The key was an extruded lexan Fresnel lens about ten inches wide with 96% optical clarity, all tested at the energy lab in New Mexico. The lens was keyed on the edges to fit a side panel of mirror coated lexan about an 1/8″ thick, taken down into an extruded aluminum pan that had a row of cells sealed in epoxy at the bottom. The Fresnel was designed to capture max photons and any that weren’t directed completely to the cells in the tray at the bottom were bounced of the mirrored sidewalls. The whole thing was completely modular, could be easily container shipped flat, even the standing base was in parts. Then the units were mounted on the base in gangs of ten, and connected by a push rod system driven by stepper motors self powered that would track the sun path all day. Each ten gang made about 2000w. They tested this cracking hydrogen for the LA bus system and ran the building in Sacramento that was for the public utilities. My good friend at the time figured out how to pultrude the lexan. Took him 18 months of T and E. Had to pass Sandia Lab scrutiny, and DoE at the time.

      Another good friend I met in Hawaii was Chilean and his uncle was Energy Minister of Peru. His uncle clued us into a grant at the World Bank (25mm$) for rural electrification and we got help to organize a contract to deliver 40000 units to be assembled on sites in remote areas.

      But then his uncle was at the Japanese embassy when it was invaded by the Shining Path guerrillas and he was held hostage. The grant expired, the science from Silicon Valley that developed this genius thing blew their capital doing some other dumb shit and the whole thing went up in smoke.

      I’m sure every bit of it could be resurrected. Sadly, the highly refined dies disappeared. The rest is just high school level.

      Funny how shit goes down.

      Stiks

      • Dam..my kind of thing.. I always show the grandkids the most efficiency solar power system..a tree.. the sunflower.. I forget the energy flow of one leaf..its something like a five thousandth of a watt..the thing is..what I tell the kids..is you need the centralized system..but rather than substations that push the power..put mini grids then the homes like leaves on a tree..want to know the proper angle for your panels..look at the southern eastern and western crown of a tree.. instead of a centralized system pushing it ..be the tree…each substation is a branch ..every home a leaf..the roots the centralized production system ..the large wind turbines ..a bigger branch..I would have loved to see those panels.. I had experimented with putting a gradual lens on one at about four inches.. if I ever win the lottery..I’m gonna build one show everyone I’m not that stupid..even though everyone has told me that’s the dumbest idea anyone has ever come up with..the failed solar tower system that they spent billions on.. was in an attempt to keep a centralized system not the flutter of a butterfly.. a megawatt solar equipment is somewhere around a million dollars retail..the cost of the three sided tower..not sure how much a 60/300 foot triangles tower would cost..one point north one point southwest one point southeast get the sun from sunrise to sunset..the homes grid tied systems ..with a battery backup every ten houses..or so..hard grid down the mini grid tower and nodes keeps the power flowing..

  20. i have been in an on going dialog with one of the 13 families. he is the last of his liniage.

    and i was told by another family, i do not hold the Axe. i was also told to let it go.

    i actually felt sad for him.

    he is the final one to stand in his linieage after many generations. after he passes his liniage dies.

    rumor has the 13 families archives go back past antiquity. beyond altantis and lumeria anything before.

    and tomorrow is the 13th.

    it is said that we die twice. we die the day our heart stops. and we die again the day the last person who remembered our name speaks it for the last time.

    it has been a long time since i have spoke to them. i dont ever fear them. i dont want anything from them. i find it odd that THE DUDE places me on the same path as them on rare occasion for a chat. i dont really pay them no mind. they are created beings just as we all are.

    one my grand father Harry Barnes said to me a child, a life of luxioury and leisure makes a man soft and week.

    when my grand father was in his 80s his body was still solid like granit and his fingers like ropes of rebar. if he got ahold of you? you werent getting away easily.

    that is the result of His living in the harsh enviroment of Alaska and working with steel his whole life, day after day, year after year, decade after decade.

    i dont know if he ever drank pine needle tea, but i never seen him sick. not a single time.

    what happens on the earth when the 13 families become 12? when one liniage runs out. you know the old money families. the names you can’ find on the internet or in books.

    hmmmm….. well its not about me.

    i have been dead 12 times in this life and im still alive and well. :)

    I Win with God within

    • someone in the know, said the reason for the end of his liniege is the end of all human trafficing. not just children.

  21. Its ok for everyone to think the solar tower idea is the style dust thing they ever heard of..ive been told that my whole life..all lol.. just like the idea of green scaping and air wells..co2 filters using alkaloid activated clay filters in a co2 filtration system on streetlights in cities..my thought on that was a filter designed like the Archimedes screw with the blades being lightweight replaceable filters.. now my thought is that plus a solar panel so during night hours the motor would m cm on turning the filter for twenty-four hour use..but like every other crazy idea I’ve had except for the ones I can make myself it will be..oh the song covers it from kansas..

  23. Friday the 13th coming up. Various versions of how the bad luck meme originated. The arrest of the Knights Templar came on a Friday 13th. Know any crusaders who have had new threats recently? Fanatics thrive on symbolism.

  24. re: from “Farewell to Prefect Du”, Wang Bo, 676 ad
    feat: Chinese folklore bond

    Know your dividend date! Yesterday the Chinese consul in Chicago dropped a social media music video wrapped in childrens rhyme for the diaspora concerning the upcoming 15th five year plan. Musical accompaniment is credited to Chinese Gen Z netizen Wang Bo. He first charted 7 years ago on the 70th anniversary of the Nationalist government moving from Nanjing to Taiwan.

    His most recent social media hit in both Taiwan and the Mainland was “No Ambition”. It’s allegedly a head slap to Taiwan chip makers for kowtowing to American companies. Founder ?bishi of Chinese Bilibili, minority-owned by Japanese Sony, named his pseudonym from a character in Japanese anime “A Certain Scientific Railgun”. The latter is a spinoff of “A Certain Magical Index” steered from Level 5. Here is a link to a version of “No Ambition” on the English side of Bilibili:

  25. According to Bill O’Reilly, three things landed on Trump’s desk simultaneously and forced the decision.
