It’s August

I do not have much to say or opine about. This is the month that seems to drag. One should really be at the beach. You know, see, feel the inevitable – shorter days, longer shadows. School was coming… oyy. I think I’ll go swimming, pretend I have errands and go see if the ice…


Poetry

I’ve always wondered how a poem starts, and then finishes in such a way that it gets considered to be a good poem. I’m not sure I even like poetry, it seems full of itself, contrite and arrogant all at once. Occasionally, I listen to poetry, however, it is listening to a good speaker, roll…


When wood meets chainsaw and art is made. Thank Robbie.


72 Hours back in New England –

The region reigns supreme, too bad its cold and windy. There are some who will tell you “it makes them stronger, more resilient”, I on the other hand, think that’s just a little rationalization. It makes us feel better, that “we can handle it.” Psychology 101 The reality couldn’t be further from that. 55 degrees…


Oil … We just crossed the Permian Basin, twice.

Thanks to Vlad, crude oil or more directly “ the oil market” … oil has gone through the roof. Since it is the secret sauce to everything, I have few opinions, a recommendation, and a reality check. First the reality, the players, there’s the raw material, then secondly an ”oil marketplace,(traders)”, thirdly there is over-dependence…


We are back from 12 days on the road. This is a pretty nice country. It makes you appreciate what our government has done for us.

It really should be a prerequisite that everyone takes road trips to see other parts of the country. They should have a few conversations, with people from that area. It will not be easy, but the rewards will be pretty great. There are far more straight forward people, regular people, working people, than any other…


A moment of gratitude, a moment of sadness and then a moment of sharing. I close out again with gratitude.

We have very strong routines, very strong styles, discipline and rarely get caught in the weeds of life. Shelley and Howard are 2 peas in a pod who, without previous conversation, can get to the “quick”, … sort the moment, comment, and execute all within a short time. We laugh about it sometimes, grind our…


Just read an abbreviated, say 2000 year, history of Ukraine and Eastern Europe. Never mind russia, not much can be done. Even Western Europe. All those borders have never stayed the same for very long, ever. Next chance they get, they should emigrate. I hear the USA is pretty good.


A 5 day turn, from a weather perspective, 4 days too many. From seeing everyone, not nearly enough days.


NVDA has left me at the dance, greed has got me again.
