Summer is Coming

Getting some pretty strong wind this morning as the warm front passes.  Look for clearing aboyt 1:00 this afternoon and then the humidity takes over.  75 degree dew point will take over the land an we will be in the 90s heat index.  Tomorrow by noon we will be in the 100s for heat index as  clouds from overnight storms move away.  Cooling 30 mph wind will calm down to 6 mph tomorrow.

GREAT week next week    Weekend is looking iffy on Saturday with scattered thunderstorms building all day as the cooler air mass battles with the warm air mass (and wins)  High Sunday of 79 and partly sunny.

OK OK - I rarely talk about myself and nobody cares about my golf game . . HOWEVER - I did shoot a 41 last night on the front 9 of The Oaks.  Looking at my 9 years of golf data on Golfshot - it's my lowest par 36.  I had 41 twice at Glenway and a 41 on a par 35 at Door Creek.

I pared all three par 3s.  Had a double and three bogies!  NET 28 with my 23 handicap.

Speaking of China and their AI.  In China they are far far advanced with electronics.  They don't use cash or cards and most of the time when you purchase something it's with your phone.  Since EVERYTHING is done online they asked citizens if they were worried about security - NOPE - they could care less about security it seems.  Weird.

3.59 of all plate appearances in MLB wend up as a home run.   2.86 on my NL SOM league but 3.9% in the AL league  (I had to look)

New Drug Enforcement Administration data shows that as more states enact legalization, federal agents are chopping down fewer illegal marijuana plants—as demonstrated by a nearly 40% dip in federal cannabis eradication in California last year.

Drug Overdoses declined in the US last year for the first time since 1990

In politics the Klu Trump Klan is doing what they do best.  Spreading fear and anger and getting the far right zealots all yanked up against minorities.  It's the only way he knows he can make his racist old white people to cheer for him.

The blue wave has turned into a green wave as fundraising is VERY bullish for the left.  This is what happened in 2018 and it's happening again.  The DNC has raised 16% more then the GOP so far and is especially troubling for the GOP as incumbents are raising less then their counterparts while the DNC  incumbents are raising more then the GOP.

The blue wave is coming  . . . AGAIN!

Meanwhile the Klu Trump Klan is not gaining voters at all.  They have what they have.  Not going to be good enough and Dictator for old white males will go down as one of the worst Presidents ever 

One Term Trumpy.  Its sad seeing so many old white males so afraid of the future.

She stock market volume has been declining in a typical seasonal pattern at the same time the reactions from the second-quarter earnings reports are seeing stocks pull back, even when those reports have been largely positive. This could all be part of a normal consolidation period and pullback after the market strength of the previous months that could see some more choppy action for the next few months.

The mixed performance of stocks that are outside of the S&P and DJIA have been suggesting to us that the overall market may not be as strong as the indexes, and a period of regrouping may be necessary to get the larger list of stocks back in position for some better advances, which could take some time to accomplish.
