Competition Among Sociopaths
I read a comment that ended with “Remember the system rejuvenates and perpetuates itself based on competition among the sociopaths; each is always attempting to “game” another and their cabal.” There is something vaguely reassuring in looking at politics…
Daylight Savings Ends on Sunday
Turn back the clock! It’s that time of the year again. Today, the sun rose late, well after 8 am -nearly 8:30! It will set around a quarter after 6 pm. We will have less than ten hours of daylight.

Shipping, Tariffs and Electric Cars

When I spotted a youtube video about buying the world’s cheapest car online from Alibaba . . . well, I have some experience in buying cheap cars – in 1990, I bought a 1988 Yugo with 18,000 miles on it. Paid $999 for it, refusing steadfastly to go into four figures for a disposable car. The Jalopnik video shows the Changli’s owner was as happy with his purchase as I…
