CAC, DAX, FTSE all ripping this morning. Silver still trending up. SLOOOOOWWWWWW day in US markets so far.

It's in Knox county, Ohio. The deer were digging through snow to eat it on their way to and from a corn feeder. The ground is gravely and poor quality, and it floods every spring. I'm not good at identifying grasses at all. Unfortunately I didn't have access to a plant ID app at the...

I've had a lot of failures due to the same problem. Last year the Korean Giant scions I grafted bloomed and then did nothing. They stayed green until summer but were dead when I checked in November. I took scions from a gnarly old Callery pear that has good fruit for deer. I'm not holding my...

Thermals can work on big trees, too. If you have a high stand on the east ot south side of a large, straight tree trunk, on a sunny day the sun hits it in the morning and warms it up, and it can act like a chimney and draw your scent upwards. It's worth going down there in early spring to test...

Nikkei popped and dropped, down 1.25%. Heng Seng is down 2.6%. Shanghai index is down 2.5%. Silver selling off. Gold selling off. It's a bloodbath in Asia this morning. Silver is forming an interesting pattern that is worth watching. EDIT: Silver did a double bottom bounce and is trending...

Epigenetics are just genetics that are influenced by environment. Technically speaking, it is a God-given inherent trait, but understanding it allows you to tease it out through herd management, a big part of which is nutrition. You made a good point about switching genes off again. That...

That's what I've been thinking. We'll find out in May what the Kentucky republicans think about it. Personally, I think one Trump at a time is plenty. I would prefer representatives be a bit more independent and represent their constituents, like they're supposed to do.

I'd be happier with longer seasons and fewer tags.

The images are attached to comments that are talking about a future event. They're illustrating how they think ICE will be met by the people of Springfield this coming week.

Silver popped and dropped this morning, and the Nikkei is up over 1.5% already. No idea what to make of that. I'll check tomorrow morning to see how things shook out in the Asian markets. Then I'll be watching the European markets to see if there's a move to be made when I start trading at...

Jeez. In Ohio we get 13 days, including the 4 day muzzleloader season. If you can't afford a muzzleloader, you get 7 days, which always starts on a Monday. Them two weeks later you get 2 more days. That's why I bought a crossbow.

Not gonna happen, Sisyphus. People are desperate for the bucks they see on TV, or any buck. Plus it gives meat hunters more flexibility with their season.

Social Security is just a safety net to prevent abject poverty. What you are proposing is a sovereign wealth fund like what Norway has. A better idea is to teach children about investing and budgeting and other money management skills in school. We could call the class Home Economics. Oh...

Wage growth in terms of buying power fell off starting in 1979.

It sounds like you've made up your mind and are looking for encouragement. Well. I'm happy to provide it. A good compromise would be to keep practicing with your bow but invest the money in a crossbow rather than another vertical. You don't have to retire the vertical, just keep it around as...
