Pars, birdies, eagles and Sacred awe:
This is the weekend we get the palm
And feel that special kind of calm.
This Easter let’s hope everybody finds a way to eat all of those dearly expensive colored eggs. I wonder if the Food Banks take eggs.
The bigger problem perhaps for Trump is that while the NY case is basically inane, the indictment is precedent setting and good establish actions for the more serious cases of Georgia vote manipulation, Secret Files at Mar a Lago and J6 incitement cases.
But let’s face it, it is all just politics. These legal actions like the more recent rash of impeachments and perhaps more indictment crazies in the future are just another way to negate voting preferences of the people. A very sad constitutional development.
Where is written of the DA, by the DA, for the DA?
Did you know that Vincent Van Gogh had a large family including his Obnoxious brother: Please Gogh, his Dizzy aunt: Verti Gogh, his prune-loving brother: Gotta Gogh, his Convenience-Store-Owner cousin: Stop'n'Gogh and his Constipated uncle: Can't Gogh. And as you might imagine, many more to gogh.
(Thanks to a very loyal reader whoo is now banned after that one!!)
The Question:
Copper will surely be one of the most sought-after resources as the USA goes all electric. Either you have to scourge the earth or find a way to create bands of midnight catalytic converter thieves. Going all electric isn't a walk in the park. But there was a time when the US led the world in copper mining and production. But politics and business miscalculations laid them low. There were three particularly humongous and capable copper companies, now but fragments of their former selves. Who were they?

The biggest problem for Rhode Island is that a very large majority of the people here think that COLA’s are economic growth.
The Final Four for men and women begins this weekend. It appears that South Carolina is another lock for their championship. But the men are result is still up in the air. I like and am rooting for UConn, they have been formidable. But the two mavericks, SDSU and FAU are proving they should be there and there is something special going on at Miami. I just don’t know.
“Let me tell you about economic forecasting. There are 300 Ph.Ds and economists at the Fed, and not a single one of them called a meltdown in '08. ... Economic forecasting around this place in the last 10 years -- let's be fair, the last eight years -- makes those psychic hotlines look reputable." --JK, La. How can we not think about electing a guy like John Kennedy, Senator from Louisiana. He always tells it like it is with a little twinkle in his mischievous eye. We need more twinkles in the eyes. I'm liking John Kennedy for President.
I think we could use powerful AI facial recognition as part of a fauil safe system to prohibit accidental or irrational Nuke launches. As some world leader eagerly seeks to push the button, AI facial recognition could perform an instantaneous psychological analysis of the face to easily determine the menial state of the potential pusher. More often than not, I believe that AI would block the characteristics of a frenetic appearing face with certain psychopathic tendencies. Anybody who would push such a button could be considered a little off.
The Red Sox lost the opener yesterday. It wa s fun to be back watching the old ballpark come alive for the111th year. They kept telling us during the game that the Sox really have a great new closer. The problem, will we ever get to a closing situation considering the pitching staff ahead of him.
I was thinking that Trump was indicted on a small issue, but there have been some President who really went beyond the honesty ethical standards. I'm for starters thinking of Warren Harding for Teapot Dome and Chester A. Arther for ties to some notorious NY Custom Jouse dealings. There has always been political finagling going on and in years past it was more easily hidden without creeping digital analytics.
Rumor has it that despite recent lithium battery fires Ford has decided to launch a new electric SUV called the Ford Exploder.
Now that Trump has been indicted how much will Repubss turn up the heat in the Hunter Biden affair. We live in a get-even society now. So watch out on this one. HB looks guilty to me, and Dad had to know something.
We could take the left-over Easter eggs to local bars where they could put them in a pickling solution. Remember big jars of Pickled eggs among the brown bottles all in a row,
Real Estate people have started calling the main bedroom the Primary bedroom. It used to be known as the Master bedroom for eons. But like many things in this new era of extreme sensitivity, for some, master is presumed insensitive. Will they now change the name of The Masters Golf Tournament?
I am becoming increasingly disturbed by the increases in food prices. Prepared foods is the latest to enter the shock zone, creating financial indigestion. Worse than eating a bag of Brussel Sprouts.
We have a situation, Houston. We have holy week coming up and also Masters Golf week. Which master will come out on top, that is the question.
The real losers in the Trump indictment are all the citizens of the USA who will now have to listen to endless discussions and opinions from myriad national columnists and commentators. Help me!
The Answer:
The Three huge US copper companies were Anaconda, Kennecott and Phelps Dodge.
Have a great weekend before Easter week, E-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y!
