Good morning. It is still cold with flurries every now and then but not amounting to much more snow. I put several hexagons into the shawl before I switched to finishing the edge on the little blanket of pin loom squares and started weaving in the ends. There a lot of them. Nowadays I get them taken care of as I am working the piece. Then I decided it was time to vacuum the traffic areas of the downstairs. I don't bother with the upstairs as neither of us go up there much since mom's accident and surgery. I just published the post covering the last couple of days because I shut down the computer before I got back to post it.
Gail Tverberg at OUR FINITE WORLD has a new article posted today. I always look forward to her writing because she looks at today's problems as interlocking phenomena influencing each other to exacerbate their effects. Several economists have written over the last couple of years about our society's dependence on rising levels of debt, on increasing supplies of energy (and fossil fuels particularly), and increasing production of materials we depend on (rare earths etc.) Tverberg shows how those factors have been declining and that all the promises that been given to various people (and not just those who receive social security or other government promised benefits but those who expect private pensions, etc.) which are based on rising levels of debt, increasing supplies of energy and materiel.
