  • Abandonment in the new world:…

    People are either getting better or getting worse as I see it. I haven’t been able to measure which side is growing the fastest yet but I have no doubt we will find that out in very short order. The angry and bitter group is getting frightened and more angry while the optimistic group is…

    Fourth of July in Real Time Vail is filled with older couples who appear to be happy. They are well dressed, not fat and drink a lot. The other night I went to a great concert of Mozart and I liked it so much the next night I went back to hear the Blues and…

    Something new in the universe.. Mercury is out of retrograde But we still stand a chance of tipping off our axis. If you think there are too many things that are off in the world you are right.
