![]() ![]() Coupled with stops at truck stops and gas stations that have seen better days, it really drove home to me how we are in the midst of decline now. In most places the highway has been patched so many times it is more like a back country road than a highway. When the work is finished (if ever), I don’t think it will mean more than a few miles of highway have been updated. There is work going on in several places, but sometimes it is in the same areas as when I went through a year ago. I was appalled at the shape of the highway, and in many places almost dangerous because of high speeds on really bad highways. Not sure I have a question as just a couple items I have been reflecting on:ġ) I have had the recent misfortune of traveling across several states down two different interstate highways, I-90 and I-25. That old question of technical feasibility versus economic viability I had some thoughts as to the possible outcomes of recent events, but I’ll steer clear of the topic, given the guidelines for this week’s post.īut it’ll help in dealing with the Long Descent Until then, the accuracy of last week’s ingress chart forecast is off topic, and anyone who tries to talk about it here will have their entire comment text deleted and replaced with the label. With that in mind, I’m going to invite anyone who wants to discuss the accuracy of last week’s predictions to join me in a discussion here the week following March 18, 2020, when we’ll be able to look back over the six months just past and see how well I did. ![]() Still, if someone predicts that the next year will be unusually rainy, you haven’t disproved them, you know, by yelling about how you went to a picnic yesterday and it didn’t rain a drop. Expecting them to recognize that a forecast for six months needs to be assessed after six months, not six days, is probably reaching. Now of course the internet has the attention span of a gnat, and so do a fair number of its denizens. ![]() It’s highly amusing, and also a useful reminder of just how emotionally brittle some people are about certain political issues. The exception? For the second time in just over a year, some people have pulled one comment out of context from one of my mundane astrological predictions, found some bit of current media chatter that contradicts it, and are running around shrieking at the top of their lungs that this proves I’m wrong about everything, so there. All the standard rules apply - no profanity, no sales pitches, no trolling, no rudeness, no long screeds proclaiming the infallible truth of fill in the blank - but since there’s no topic, nothing is off topic…well, with one exception. This week’s Ecosophian offering is the monthly (well, more or less!) open post to field questions and encourage discussion among my readers. ![]()
