The Iowa reality show is over, and at least one loser has been picked-Bachmann. Perry is the next likely casualty.
Iran, driven by sanctions and internal rifts, is driving up oil prices. The threat of military conflict exists, but Iran would be cutting it's own throat. Israel is the more likely initial starter of hostilities.
The President is now playing hardball, at long last. He certainly can afford to do so while the GOP circus is on.
No tickertape parades for the end of the Iraq War. Just a huge bill, and broken people. The recent speeches by the administration accept that large ground conflicts are not supportable. I predicted this years ago on the political board; I'm shocked that no one has apologized to me for being wrong, or congratulated me on calling it right pre-war... :) With Pakistan degenerating, and Afghanistan a madhouse, expect an earlier end to the war, post-election.
Weather has been unthinkably mild this winter. I fear February and March.
Bad atmospherics on ten meters this week. Fifteen meters has been rough as well.
I'm saving more cash. The habit of using a strip of twos is helping. One person at work gave back a two (holiday gift); it went straight to savings.
Next week, panic redoubles at work, as the cycle begins again. Oh, jolly. How many of my co-workers will be popping Percoset, I wonder. No sick days for anybody.
Scruffy is doing well in the mild weather. His fondness for the new tennis ball continues.
