Just got off the FaceTime with my boy while he wanders the high line in NYC. We chatted about his acceptance to a music festival in Switzerland this summer.
I don’t know how I raised a kid who’s going places, because when I was his age all I cared about was women, drink, and other vices.

Shortages lead to actually distress rather than a simple annoyance. Someone with no fuel has no way to work or get goods to market, and will have a surplus of time to plot revenge.
An increase in the price for the rest of us just means one less Starbies as we gripe on our way to the office.

Democratic Party really needs to start messaging a billionaire tax to pay for this war. It is their war after all.

Great way to conceal drone and anti ship missile shipments to Iran.

So I think this confirms that yes, there are mines and the USA is incapable of dealing with them?

This isn’t over and the current market reaction, by reducing pressure on Trump, is only elongating the duration of the crisis and the physical disruption through the Strait of Hormuz.

I am so very excited to travel to the USA as all of this is going on.
If my trip was just for pleasure I would cancel.

It helps for sure. I finally had some time at the bench and out in my greenhouse.

Building full interior models is kind of like build two non interior models. Lots of extra work!
Pictured is the Academy 1/35 M113A1 pieces. I still have to weather and stain the components before I can seal it all up for good.

It always bugs me that LA and San Diego could have been like Barcelona, or even better than Barcelona, but instead it’s a freeway.

IMO big risk coming up is that a modern insurgency now includes cheap drones.
The range of an insurgency is now measured in hundreds of kilometres, which is plenty enough to keep the Hormuz closed indefinitely.

The USA will be lucky if Iran allows them to repair their war torn country should Iran allow the oil to flow again.

Not wrong. We should liquidate almost every other piece of military hardware and develop a nimble drone industry.

I’m going to go as far as to say that the USA massively overplayed their hand with this.
Get ready for the long haul (years).

Iran just needs to lob a few drones a week at a handful of ships to make this a permanent US mission.

Edmonton really has become a libertarian paradise.
Park wherever you want for as long as you want.
Shovel your snow depending on your mood.
Stop for red lights. Or not.
Speed limits? Meh.
Got some meth to share? Share it on the train!

The red river rebellion era would make a really good limited series. Lots of gangs, wilderness, First Nations stories, politics.
A potential authentic drama to compete with all of the plonky American “Wild West” type shows.
Maybe I should get in to screenplay writing…

Trying to avoid posting about this but unfortunately my brain is filled with crap I need to get out…
I think Spain’s stance should be the model. The risk of terrorist attacks must have skyrocketed and for what? Best to stay out of it IMO and who cares what the USA says.

Things go back and forth. I don’t see Russia getting overtly involved as they have their own problems and a lot to lose.
A boat load of dirty material is just a pond away.
