APPLES - NOT Bananas

Small correction - in yesterdays blog, where ever I say "banana", insert "apple".  My BRAIN was saying apple but my fingers were saying banana.  DAMN YOU FINGERS.

I get home from my senior center meeting and it's c c c c cold in the house.  Seems the strangers in the basement have the furnace off as they are sanding the walls.   brrrrrrrrr

Looks like that snow will arrive later then expected - maybe starting 8 or 9 o'clock making morning commute Friday a headache.  I'm still thinking 2-3 inches but if there is a change it might be for more snow rather then less.  The biggest totals will be on the Wisconsin border where 6-8+ is the expected total.

Ya gotta love Elon Musk.  His NEXT big thing he is working on is a NEW rocket.  This one will not be called the Falcon Heavy II but is called The BFR.  BFR?  BRF stands for BIG FUCKING ROCKET - I love this guy!

***************

The latest stock plunge for no real reason really hurt 401K investors that should not be managing their portfolio.  Seems 401K investors got out of the market 12 times faster then regular traders and thus lost all that bounce back money.  Be calm everybody - the fundamentals are fine. hang tight.  A market selloff is actually healthy and this has been predicted for a while. 

This is why when the GOP says that instead of social security we should let people manage their OWN money - this is a horrific idea. People have no clue how to handle and save money (it's not even taught in our school systems)

*****

The  GOP gave $156 million to a contractor that had zero experience with disaster relief.  The company delivered 50,000 meals to Puerto Rico for hurricane relief.  Sadly the contract called for 18.5 MILLION meals.  Seems the company only has 11 people working for them. Each meal cost $3,125 - I REALLY hope they were good.

FEMA-  hard at work sucking up all your money. 

That's all I have to say.

Cheers
