Loading ...too right. a hurricane is first and foremost a rain machine. they come in three types:
wet
wetter
and wettest.
Upper level wind shear took the top off Lane and it collapsed… not a moment too soon. Islands downgraded to tropical storm warnings, and Honolulu is still going to have a bad hair day, but the storm is downgraded to ‘tropical storm’ status below hurricane, and expected to drift westward away from the islands.
But when you take the top off a hurricane, it still drops all the water. It is STILL raining in East Hawaii.
NOAH! Isn’t that Ark ready yet?
That was funny. I think I’ll have to look up some more of those.
Our lava flows stopped several weeks ago, so all is quiet on the volcano. Then the weather comes along. Did you know that Hilo is the most ‘disaster prone’ city in the country? Earthquakes, volcano lava flows, Tsunami, Hurricanes… and today flooding.
National insurance companies will not write homeowners insurance in my zip code right now.
Does all that water put a stop to the lava flow?
So intense the way God handles nature. Hang in there, it will still be a beautiful paradise when all this is done.
Hilo side of the Big Island normally gets a lot of rain, but this went way beyond runoff capacity. Hilo town flooded. Highway north is closed with landslides where cuts made next to soft ground. Some reports upslope of 30 inches of rain so far. The hurricane has slowed to almost nothing and is sitting there like a buzz saw on our underbelly, slinging rain and wind now. Honolulu is essentially shut down, bracing for impact of wind and water. That island cannot handle as much water as we got on the volcano here.
Still going in the right direction, commercials are even closer to being net short
I didn’t read what the tent opinions were of that issue, can anybody encapsulate?
And I threw up a little in my mouth when you mentioned elliott. How could I forget him.
Sure a sea of green out here this morning, sunshine and lollypops…
a real bounce and very long overdue.
Volume is heavy.
Quite a reversal today. Maybe some info is leaking out from Jackson Hole today. Like the USA has priority and is going to get the low dollar punch bowl.
Unfortunately, gasoline and heating oil and food might go too high, but what the hell? No pain no gain. Prosperity later on would over ride high prices. But how are they going to engineer that?
It sounds like TPTB mistakenly think a shortage of labor will raise wages. Huh? Private sector Employers will always pay as little as possible on labor and taxes. Public sector employers are very generous with wages and benefits.
“we” think the March 15th 2019 $7 call is a reasonable speculation–it just traded at .30 a few minutes ago.
**********************************************************************************
similarly, “we” think the SLV 2019 $15 april 18th call at .31 is a reasonable speculation. Please note that G&S are performing nicely while the stock market is showing no signs of stress–thank you.
I can relate to most all of it in my life. All the best from silverngold
Copy that, good, I see $1202. Re Jackson Hole. They are probably discussing what country gets what, how much, and when. And what country has to take or get less. From the USA. I think it’s China’s turn to have lower living standards for the next 40 years, like the USA did.
Well, gold just busted through $1200 at least in the futures market. Let’s see if it holds.
What I’d like to see is the shares get all their losses back from yesterday. That would be a change of pace.
Caution though: Jay Powell speaks today in Jackson Hole, Wy. We know what usually happens when the Fed head opens his yap.
You have the right to your opinion, R640 and Goldie the right to theirs and same with most everyone else – except Elliot, who I removed.
You have not been blocked. Censored, a couple times but no big deal.
Let’s just try to keep the inflammatory stuff at a minimum and not get to the point where it takes over the thread.
While I know politics and ethnicity etc. are inevitable on a gold site where gold is such a piss poor performer, I think we all would rather not have folks raging at each other.
Song wars, could be a good way to express. Kinda like “dance-offs” 🙂
I’m away from home in a waiting room with an i-pad.
I have close friends here who are such a couple . He a Navy officer , and she a girl who still keeps her newfie heritage close . America IS more beautiful because of them . They brought sunshine to blighted lives . He died last year , of pervasive cancer , but in his last few days of life insisted on getting out of sickbed to go grocery shopping so that homeless folks could eat . As weak as he was , he made a difference in the lives of others , right up to the end . She carries on , to see that the homeless are fed . I wash the pots and pans .
But then again I don’t just go punching people in the eyes either. It’s not that hard to get along. Trust your gut
