empty malls

Sadly, empty malls are so common. This is especially true as one nears sears. Yeah, a lot fewer customers are coming. It could be a combination of low pay jobs and high prices. Well, look on the bright side as there is a lot more parking space now. Oh wow, there is plenty of parking where the sears once was.

instant gram

Folks, this is no hoax - how to get followers on the instant gram. IG is massive. However, getting buried is easy. Being able to thrive is hard - or even survive.

Writing is both tiresome and worrisome. Yet, the news must get through to you. Well, most of it is sour news.

previous era

I still remember a previous era. Just gaze on some cars. Admittedly, they were different than now. Sadly, we live in a world with a lot less freedom of expression.

Dow has a 670 point surge

Dow has a  670 point surge. This is awesome news. Yeah, we do hope that it just keeps on going up. However, the federal deficit is growing. Higher taxes are needed as in now. Colleagues, that means less money for you.

bit coin

College students are investing in bit coin. They are using financial aid money. Like we cannot make this one up. Friends, it is just too crazy. Honestly, I used to think that college students were smart, but I was wrong. Risk aside, this is like hiring a taxi driver who thinks his cab is a race car. Oh yes, his nick name is an insane maniac.

moving average

S&P 500 ended this week on a note that is sour. It is on a 200 days moving average cliff now. Blame our new trade war. Hey, this is more than just about the 200 days moving average. Folks, we could face a major economic recession. Yeah, that certainly would affect all of us. Please keep your eyes open.

no green unicorns

A mental patient told his doctor that he could see invisible green unicorns. Then the doctor asked him how if they were invisible, how he knew that they were green. OK, so the patient said. "He told me that he was green. Also, he has wings... That's my answer." The doctor said. "There are no green unicorns." Right then the patient replied. "Well, maybe he was cyan. It's really hard to know what your true color is when you are invisible in a mirror."

electronics engineering

Ah yes, teachers told me there was a bright future in electronics engineering. Sadly, most of the work is overseas. Let me add that it pays... less than our minimum wage. Folks, we need to wise up. Please do not make being an engineer your career.


Finally made one of these little noise boxes... Pairs nicely with the Mikrophonie and some effects. Note it's not a mini-spring reverb like I originally thought. Thanks to @tomhallsonics & @c1t1zen for the inspiration! #eurorack

Californians

Californians are leaving their state in numbers that are massive. This is due to high taxes and house prices. It should surprise no one. Right now Texas is a magnet for many. Florida might also pick up some pieces. Honestly, this has been long in coming. Expect to see California taxes go up some more.

warning sign

Tech stocks are signaling a warning sign. Like this reminds me of all those dot-com companies. Please remember the 90's and wake up. All we need now is more woe. Hey, we will get some. Just hope that people do learn something from their own previous experiences.

color

Oh yes,  color adds joy to our lives and wives. Definately, they can brighten up our days and our ways. I like the pure tones that are rich, saturated, and warm. Cold colors such as blue often sadden us. Please give me colors that are full of energy such as - yellow, red, or orange.

94 win dixie will close soon. This is a store that reminds me of a long time ago. Yeah, they still exist, but not for long my fine ones. It is kind of an old-school grocery.

Dog

Dog was supposed to go to Kansas, but instead, he went to Japan. He got on a jet, but it was the wrong one. Cats would probably enjoy living in Japan as fish eating is common. Glad the mistake was not on me. Yeah, the execs would probably put me on probation and later on... like send me on my way.

Gold down

Gold down as we feel investors are looking at other issues. They do not want to invest so much in metals most precious. Do expect inflation to kick in. Hey, that could indeed send gold soaring. Folks, the future is looking up.

mantis aliens

Do you fear mantis aliens? They look similar to this little guy. Well, the praying mantis can seem scary. However, most of the time they just eat some bad bugs and that's about it.

Hal 9000

Hal 9000 wants the pod bay doors to open. Certainly, AI in science fiction is abundant in fiction, but science is scarce. Yeah, we often do wonder what a real Hal 9000 computer would do in a similar scenario.

I love Miku, but she is a vocaloid and not a real person. However, she can sing. Well, the software program anyway.

Bad HDR

Admittedly, we do not like poor quality images. Bad HDR is scary. The colors are too saturated and too warm. People call it overcooked and over process. Could be that the photographers are doing it wrong. Still, we do enjoy seeing more detail in an image. Sadly, the problem is too many novices. Most do not know how to use certain software programs.

Dominos

Dominos is the king of pizza. Not sure on a queen. Pizza Hut might that role or papa juan. Oh yes, he is a papa. That means he cannot be a mama. Well, that means that I am wrong.

Tariffs

Tariffs do hit us. Europe is expressing growing concerns. Folks, this feels like an ongoing trade war. Maybe we should negotiate some more. Perhaps, there is no winner. I do wish that people sit down and talk this over. Maybe we can work together to make the world a better place for all of us. Let us hope so.

spring

Scientists claim that spring is arriving early in polar regions. Oh yes, they did say arrive. Funny, it certainly does not feel that way to me. Like we got way too much snow. Also, there is a bit of a chill in our air. Winter is still here and we do wait for an awesome green spring.

mars

Do you want to go to mars? It might allow humanity to survive. Well, that is what we hear in science. Frankly, I am not so sure. The red planet is a dead planet according to me. Hey, we could be wrong.

South African

Thousands of South Africans want to come to the USA and start anew. They are mostly of the white race. Well, new laws will take their land away. Hey, this problem is going to get even worse. Expect people to experience pain.

supremes

Conservatives are using our supremes. It is to destroy unions.  Workers get very little pay. Expect less in coming years. A few fat cat bosses at the top get all the money. Hey, we do not get the little bitty crumbs even. What a sad place we are in.
