Here’s the stat of the Day: If every unemployed person took a job US business would still be underemployed. That means there are two job openings for every unemployed person.
Of course, the big political news this morning is that the super progressive San Fran DA Chesa Boudin got recalled by an overwhelming vote. It appears, according to West Coast pundits, that some LA Progressives are next in line to step up to the voter Guillotine.

You have to wonder what Henry David Thoreau would have thought of about acres of solar panels upon once pristine lands.
I have always been interested in (My kids don’t even know this) the concept of drifting continents – you know that Pangea was a super land mass in the vast ocean called Panthalassa. A young German scientist Alfred Wegener upset the unified geological community, the “Fixists”, when he, a “Mobilist”, presented his theory of the continental spilt and continuing drift beginning 200 million years ago. Of course, nobody is allowed to mess with the egos of the educated elite, and that existing scientific community derided him and held him up for ridicule. They scoffed and demanded proof thinking he could never deliver. He originally presented four bases to support his theory. First were the continental Puzzle pieces snuggly fitting together. Next were the fossil trails continuing across separated land masses. He was able to match rocks and soils of distant coasts. Finally, there were the signs of mutual climate patterns. But the proof they wanted, was how in fact do continents move? 3o years after Alfred’s death in Greenland during an expedition the proof was discovered in the mid-Atlantic rift. It's a fascinating study. It tells you to always remain a little skeptical about absolutism no matter how often the word “Scientists” used. I ended this Tids with a little song about Alfred and the disbelievers.
What do you call a T-Rex that's been in a fight? Dina-sore.

The dominant legal strategy during decades of lawsuits was always to manufacture a way to attach a deep pocket business or institution to the claim. Last night we learned that the lawyers of Nasser abused gymnasts found the deepest pockets of all, the US Government,
If you always remember that the sun is always shining above the clouds, you’ll ever feel the gloom.
Dustin Johnson made $74 Million in 15 years playing on teh PGA tour. He went with the new Saudi LIV tour because they signed him for $125 Mil. Michelson is getting $200 mill which is double what he made on the PGA tour.
The words management and brains are not necessary always compatible. See Cleveland Browns.
I am just continuing to read more convoluted headlines attempting to explain the stock market.
I fully believe in individuals which is why I try to avoid as much as possible stereotyping. Although I think litterers are generally irresponsible people.
Golf play seems a little down at local courses. Is that because of economy or the weather?
Today is National “Name Your Poison Day”. I’ll take rich, creamy chicken gravy, thank you.
The Answer:
Hydrocarbon products leave a big imprint on daily life. How about these -- aspirin, Lip stick, solar panels, rugs, clothes, toothpaste, dentures, CD’s/DVD’s and Chewing Gum. These are s just a broad swath of daily products at the tip of the iceberg. Petro based products are just about everywhere from industry to medical to basic health sustenance to agriculture. So, the price of oil rising will affect just about anything we touch in day to day living.
Happy Hump Day everybody.
Here's a fun little tune sung by the “Amoeba People” about Alfred Wegener and continental drift.
