There’s Sunday done

Hello Friends, Ended up staying glassy and rather small to flat at most places through the day. Interestingly though there was an uptick in the period from around 9 seconds up to 10 with some peak component at 13 seconds.

midday and minor

Hello Friends, It’s just possible to catch a tiny little closeout at south Narra as of noon today. Wind is not a factor, but those long waits and bomb sets in the knee to waist high range may possibly make almost anything else look more interesting!

The Simple Arithmetic of Global Warming Supports the Economics of a Climate Change Bill

A few illustrative quotes: If you understand how compound interest works, you can understand the urgency of facing the issue today.
