It was a rough summer with brutal heat, it seems to be going out with a whimper. Lots of rain, and cool fronts beginning to arrive and provide much needed respite as we fall into autumn and the unknown with all the manufactured drama of political divide. What will this years distraction be ? Covid 2.0 ? Monkey Pox? China attacks Taiwan? Ukraine vs. Russia continues, Israel vs Hamas is never ending, Iran is getting itchy as is North Korea and they don't want to miss out on the fun. Chatter suggests the end of cash, the collapse of the economy, introduction of 'digital money' (centralized and all the worst of crypto, it will be surveillance, tracking and taxing tool). Today is September 10th, 2024. We can revisit this in the future and see how much actually happened.
