  1. I don’t think there’s any malice. I think it’s just incompetence. Honestly, I don’t know which one is worse.
  2. Ukraine aside, the situation in China does not look great. Major cities and provinces going back into lockdown. BA2 likely doing its dirty work. Supply chains will continue to be hit hard, driving up inflation even more.
  3. I wonder if we can get oil back down below $100/barrel this week?
  4. Maybe some nuclear so long as Putin’s goons don’t shoot at it?
  5. Not sure why either. Heating oil down 13% at last check. It rose to really absurd levels yesterday afternoon. Maybe just coming down to regular absurd levels today?
  6. Oil crashing today. Heating oil especially.
  7. So, Russian forces cut power to Chernobyl. It’s now on backup power. If that fails, we risk all the spent fuel melting down? This would be bad for Ukraine and the EU, no? Is this Putin’s backdoor nuclear threat to the West? It’s not a bomb, so…
  8. FWIW, the LR looks like full on spring. 50s/60s next week, away from the ocean? Tomorrow may be the last snow.
  9. At this point, time for the torch. Heating oil is at astronomical prices and ever increasing. I’m done with being stuck inside. Let’s get some warmth and sun. I know, I know. It ain’t gonna happen, especially here on the coast.
  10. Surprise, surprise. My over asking offer was beat out by an all cash offer higher than my own.
  11. We’re heading into mid March. Light to moderate events have long since lost their novelty.
  12. Dang. In a few months, $4.00/gallon will feel like a bargain.
  13. Good times. I doubt we see $5/gallon. Maybe $4.75-4.85 at the peak?
  14. WTI Crude surging like crazy. Just went over $125/barrel.
  15. I’m FERS-FRAE. Saving 10% plus the 5% match. I’ve been house hunting for a year. One fell through because of the seller. The second fell through because we found out it was on a FEMA flood zone. We’re onto #3. Making an offer tonight.
  16. Mortgage rates to 7% will hurt a lot too. Bad times coming. Stock up.
  17. We all know interest rates are going up, but my realtor just told me that her friend in the business thinks we may be seeing mortgage interest rates approaching 5-7% within the next year. That seems ludicrous. Something that sells for 500k today may be worth 350k in five years. Lots of folks will go underwater. I say this as I’m putting in an offer for over asking for a property in Gloucester…
  18. GL to companies trying to get its employees that can WFH to come back to the office. My commute is 45 miles one way, but thankfully only needed to make it once a week pre-COVID.
