  1. Well I believe Biden Won. However any real recount in this situation would involve more than counting Biden could have used Madaam Cleo to deliver his policy to the Dead And wrestle up the dead mail in vote . So a recount would have to check they are alive and legit signatures. Good luck
  2. This really is not a big story. Same Rules has been all summer . It’s not really brain surgery to see the loop hole or quasi wink did you quarantine (ya umm ya ) in this is there for the tourism industry Or is really just a don’t ask don’t tell sorta deal . You say you Quarantined like the folks who made up 80% of the Regular tourism numbers (that also didn’t quarantine ) and some jobs are saved . There was no Sizeable breakouts in VT or NH this summer. For as long as you have been Alive and as long as you will live you could always have had a flu or now flu or Covid that you weren’t aware of. This will be the case after a mediocre vaccine as well . You don’t go if your sick or if you were around someone that you are aware was sick recently . Of course, that is just my take
  3. Nobody in politics is getting their crap together . Here is their game plan in Washington . Listen to lobbyists , advance your career. Say whatever it takes (in public ) to be re-elected and say whatever it takes to be funded (in private) every time your up for re-election.
  4. This really was a tale of two elections Biden will be in white house when Trumps tantrum is over BUT Pelosi and congress dems are absolutely pissed in a huge way . Doesn't matter to Congressional dems who is in White House really, when they were counting on a blue wave that didn’t happen . They won’t get anything they want to Biden to sign .Not getting the senate has devastated their moral and they even lost many seats in house (that they still control barely ) . This really isn’t hyperbole. So states that have a huge Revenue shortfall (NY/ ILL. and were counting on a blue wave stimulus to states now have to crawl back to Moscow Mitch in Senate . That old turtle looking fella is smiling ear to ear . Trump was close as I figured he would be as polls will never grasp the Trump support who would rather not interact with pollsters and face judgement , but in the end he fell short or will , the numbers in key states show this barely But still CLEARLY If you know what to look at. There is a reason Vegas is at 90% now for Biden .
  5. Solid snow shower /squall Nashua 37 and Gusty. Love it Thou 60-70 and Sun also sounds good later in week .
  6. I’m hoping J spin goes hiking up high on Bolton. This looks like a burial there tonite
  7. Nice Elevation for Jackson, You must be over in E Jackson (looks like SE to NE Jackson are quite elevated
  8. love the photos guys, keep em coming. Even getting flurries down in Nashua.
  9. VT will cash in very nicely and I’m sure the hut at 5k On Washington will do well if the winds blowing could stop and measure
  10. The 2000 year plus history of Monetary systems could fill a graveyard . Every type of monetary system has failed /crashed ..seen a economic traumatic event that required a “reset”. Even gold backed currency inevitably saw /kings debase it with other metals to expand monetary supply to bolster their chances they wouldn’t be overthrown Or so they could grow their empire via expansion of money supply. This current one is extremely long in the tooth, I believe if people had an awareness that all monetary systems are inherently unstable especially interest bearing debt based Ones ..they would have a better idea of why this current one ..dependent on zero interest rates and bubblecoveries as well as perverse incentives Paid for by lobbyists backed by congress that lead to sort of a disaster capitalism and constant need to bouy asset prices now so that insolvency is not perceived ..and now we got the perfect fall guy or virus ...that sort of provides the political cover to fast track the inevitable A.I job heist of many industries as well as provides the pain necessary for many to clamor to the multi national Plutocracy for a “solution” which they already have . It’s listed in a marketing brochure From the world economic forum called the great reset . It’s out in the open if you have a awareness to look . It tries to market itself for citizen support on sustainability of climate concerns , inequality concerns and safety concerns .. leveraging and magnifying and Politicizing all these Things and takes a no nonsense approach to curtail the threat of critically thinking if we actually have much better approach to such issues and effectively radicalizes any deviation from group think quite successfully. Deviation from the generalized plan threatens not just those who will profit but it’s perceived need to have the public demand change (as most realize change is not demanded unless there is a dire situation perceived) We are going to see a reorganization of the way we live , how people view their freedoms, as the transformation to the Technotronic era sees a huge push (Media will raise awareness of the problems and Soon solutions as Covid is a very good crisis that will not go to waste. Wether this ambitious idea for a sort of fourth revolution and defined Global socio-economic Era led by A.I , technology and green energy in a sort of dystopian trans-humanistic view is to renew growth from a current system that has been nearly exhausted from debt saturation Prior to Covid .(can be successful) .is to be seen , wether there will continue to be no attention given to the Billion plus third world and advanced country's new poor classes suffering from hunger/depression/homelessness/death which is tied to the virus and the Covid anxiety filled responses and/or a failure to have enough of a social safety nets in place remains to be seen. Just remember you are sort of lucky if your industry hasn't been effected so far. This isn't normal "lazy Jobless folks" . While easy to criticize and they should be as the wealthiest Often shape and organize these transitions ..(.they are never pure of intention) but ultimately maybe necessary in a world where we often Need to Choose Between many less than great options to move forward. Don’t worry I’m done on this .
  11. i dropped my brother off at Logan today. His flight in from Nashville was cancelled at first due to too few passengers. The comedy of all the "highway electronic signs" saying Salem is closed for the last week had me prepare my brother for the idea that we wouldn't be able to go there (i could take it or leave it) , he seemed to want to see the "hocus pocus" house which i found odd but hey i love him ha. It's just so surreal to me the double standard of how somethings outdoors and with usually masks was covered this summer with out any condemnation for fear of i dunno what...being criticized ? (and i have no issue with the message of protests) and something so critical to Salem's economy that also brings enjoyment was announced to be "cancelled" two weeks ago. Human nature is just funny to me and always has been. That being said "the strip" in Salem was quite busy...Everyone had masks on ...if you didn't you would be reminded kindly that you needed one by police, but the mood was very cool and Had the Halloween enjoyment vibe...I didn't see one event closed. We walked around saw a lot of cool costumes and it was just so very odd to me that the signs on the highway that day said "Salem closed" . I mean everyone in Salem is constantly just walking around past each other. I believe dining was 50% capacity or so...didn't seem odd. I was there for a couple hours in the mid day sun on Saturday and it felt much milder than i prepared for. Was nice to enjoy some normalcy. It is obvious thou that numbers are soaring in Europe and US...the duration of this trend is going to be interesting to me...and i honestly watch it very closely because i have gotten a decent amount of success trading options the last month or two. Covid is still being priced into Markets due to the steepness of the slope and the repercussions and lockdowns and subsequent GDP adjustments ahead. Couple that with election concerns and questions about contested elections the market is at it's ripest for Volatility and a Black Swan'ish event Since March for the next week or two..thou that would likely take some Contested election and riots to achieve in addition to the Rise of Covid. Also Global indicators like the Baltic dry index/ shipping index has fallen quickly in last 2 weeks to important support levels as well as OIL has really just begun tanking again as the dollar has rallied. The Fed decision after its two day meeting this Thursday (to expand asset purchases) will play a sizable role in the end of the week market activity , thou the various Fed Governor speeches (over 60 in last month) have repeated the same low pitched scream "downside risks to the economy exist without continued fiscal stimulus" ..and they certainly do. The Fiscal inaction since August.. during pandemic has been clearly documented as a driving force of this years growing Wealth inequality without stimulus as the hit has been (so far) to lower paying jobs on average,* fascinating how that isn't really a story , given everyone talking about inequality, guess the political donor class is doing quite well and is often just "acting" and the awareness of this via any media is low.
  12. My guess is to take the under If your thinking above 3” There is a good GYX Paper on upslope Snows in N NH and NW Maine and some discussion on the factors that differentiate the small to medium events with the very rare larger event and where they tend to max and what factors to look for . You would probably enjoy the read as you will have several events . https://www.weather.gov/media/erh/ta2009-03.pdf
  13. Yes. The Cam Newton party is over. Like it or not, the QB usually gets most of the success and blame. He has to turn it around really fast. Based on Gilmore on the chopping/trading block to Bears...we are willing to fold this year
  14. Is it snowing in Denver . Man they get bitter cold for 5.2 k in October .
  15. Outfielder boots ball Base runner rounding third trips and falls heading home Catcher turns to tag a runner that isn't there and does so before he has ball in glove and ball deflects far away Runner gets up and then scores
  16. I do understand your sentiment on some aspects of this . For elderly thou , that is the one age group where this is actually very dangerous ... Now ..if we reach next winter , and the vaccine is say 50 % effective, the IFR is down even a tad more ..and this becomes a very annual thing w lockdowns and restrictions ..I will very much go on living my life ..as I did before, I just will continue to be very mindful of elderly . I already believe Covid is being ..leveraged. My posts about the positive case growth and numbers And trends in USA , Europe and coming hospitalizations and what I see coming down the pike the last two days is not from the angle of I support all the policies that have just decimated some industries for good at a time when Congress lack of continued action Which has really led to tremendous increase in financial inequality if you are in those industries . You can’t do lockdowns without continued full financial support of workers in industries that are decimated and forced into closure , failure . You need to buy these people time to retrain their job skills. Bigger picture there are some larger changes afoot, We are certainly entering the Technotronic era as Zigbinew Bryzenski excitedly describes in the out of print ..” Between two ages” Covid is a opportunity and no good opportunity goes to waste unless people are very naive .
  17. I wouldn’t either .but mainly for the initial fall spike I have concerns that concurrent FLU / Covid infections and to a unknown extent VIT D deficiency (Normal in winter ) Will be factors that will cancel that out when by the time we reach later in fall . Either way we’ll see , hope for the best , and pray for snow . If my Job goes remote , I’ve been looking for a 3 month rental in NNE At decent elevation .
  18. Yes CFR has . I mean we were only testing the sick last spring and really the very sick . Treatments had improved as well, but those treatments still require hospitalization. I don’t believe the CFR thou will be much different from the summer mini spike .
  19. I do and that is from the increase in testing we saw that really began this summer . 70-75 K New cases in July peak still brought 1200-1300 deaths in August mini peak . We will see a similar relationship Bear out by Thanksgiving. I understand colleges are testing more the last several weeks . Again I’m going out and enjoying myself in what I believe is a way I’m comfortable with and Responsible and living my life ..having fun. Anyway I’m at Nahant on the rocks for a swell and I don’t want to bog this down . Everyone have a great day , no harm meant with these posts
