WELL - it's been an "interesting" few days of which I feel partly to blame.
The back story is this.
Ya'll know I'm a weather geek and I would have become a meteorologist except for that whole needing two bachelor degrees thing and knowing my study habits on things I don't want to study . . . I knew THAT would never happen.
ANYWAY - back in 2005 Hurricane Katrina was bearing down on America and being out of harm's way I would it was exciting. The hurricane hit and the next day things had calmed down and I was a little disappointed. Then the shit hit the fan and I sort of felt bad.
Last Tuesday "we" won Georgia and there would be the contested voting on TV and I was writing my hands saying I could not wait for the shit show that would happen Wednesday . . . now I feel bad yet again.
I suppose it's not really my fault.

Remember all the way to last Monday when I mentioned Bitcoin and how it was now at 31,000 a share? this morning its at $41,000. Why didn't I be MORE. I did notice last night there was profit taking and was going to buy a little more at $36,000. BUT NOOOO!! (you only buy parts of a share)
I read an article that said with Democrats in control they will provide more stimulus which in turn will bump inflation a little more and because of that more large corporations are buying Bitcoin which seems to be taking the place of gold as the safest place to put money during inflationary times - Not a CLUE how that works.
Right NOW Goldman Sachs puts the price mark of a bitcoin between $50,000 to $400,000. Yea - we will get between 1 and 12 inches of snow.
All I know is I suspect Bitcoin to take a large hit sooner or later AND recover. Who knows. I did not know you can buy Bitcoin through PayPal (I guess). I go through Coinbase
If you can not wrap your head around what a Bitcoin is - it's like PayPal but more secure. You can buy things with it and sell things. It's currency with nobody or actually EVERYONE in charge. Unlike banks, no one is making money from you putting money into their bank. No salaries No decisions. It's it's own thing and there are not many shares left (2 million).
That is why large corporations are buying Bitcoin. They don't want to be left behind. The reason I became interested was because of the lack of shares remaining. That was what got me interested.
Since Monday I'm up 31% LOL OH - it's all fun and games as it rises. I suspect a 25-40% sell off at some point this year.

NEW TV shows - DJ and I watched Mr. Mayor last night - HILARIOUS! seriously - we love every character. Holly Hunter is fantastic and from SNL Bobby Moynihan is a scream. HIGHLY recommended.

The other new show we appreciate is B Positive.
******************
We are now finally watching the end of the Republican party as we know it. It SOUNDs like it will be cut in two with the Trumpublicans and the Realpublicans canceling each other out.
Ii case you are wondering - sportsbooks (who said there was a 69% chance for both blue senators winning) have Kamala as a favorite at +450 to win the next Presidential campaign, Biden is +600 and Donald Trump Jr +800 is the Trumpublican nominee
Will Donald Trump Be Impeached Before The End Of His Term? -190
Will Donald Trump Complete His First Term As President? -330
***************************
Trump auctioned off a 553,000 acres of Arctic National Wildlife Refuge but only 3 small companies bid none of them oil companies.

HEY - I have random thoughts on Twitter since I am banned from Facebook for a few more days - yea - I got into it with a Qanon trump lover. I basically said in a politically correct way he would die along in jail.
BANNED for 3 days!! against the rules I guess. ODDLY - My life has been much much calmer since I was banned! LOL No seriously.
*********************
It's FOOTBALL WEEKEND!! I have already warned DJ. She is fine - loves football. it's a comfort sport for background noise.
