Good Morning.

We'll delve into the world of finance today. We're all aware of the recent cratering of the once-vaunted Wells Fargo bank. Among the mountain of scandal and deceit, there's also some soldiers caught up in the mess.

It's called

There is liquid water falling out of the sky around these parts - is it supposed to do that?

We tend to associate droughts with farm country, or places like Africa or Southeast Asia. New England is in the midst of a wing-dinger; accordding to our local news guys, this is the worst it's been since the 8-year-long drought of the 1960s, and the worst since the new Drought Monitor came online (albeit a mere 16 years ago in 2000)

Part of it is due to our remarkably mild and dry winter last year - we only had two significant snowfalls, totaling less than two feet of the white stuff for the entire season. (Compared to the winter previous, where we had lingering snowpiles into July).

I've always been fond of the statement, "No snow in January means no water in August". Unfortunately, TriSec has been proven correct again.

Politics of the Purse String
Author: BobR Date: 09/28/2016 13:53:11

It's that time of year again, when lawmakers have spent the summer doing nothing (seriously - they were off for seven straight weeks!! over the summer) and come back to find that - oops - we are once again about to run out of money. So - once again - they are grudgingly opening the purse strings to fund the government for the next two months. Yes, they've spent the month of September arguing about funding the government for 2 months - when they'll have to do it all over again in November. Why not allocate spending for an entire year? Maybe because the elections are just over a month away?

Presidential Debatable: 2016; Part One.
Author: Raine Date: 09/27/2016 00:51:28

Four years ago, it was Obama and Mitt. Thier first debate together was less than spectacular -- BUT it's a much different landscape now than it was 4 years ago.

Four years ago, Mitt was praising that trees were just the right height. He spoke of the 47%. He declared he had binders full of women.

He mocked Obama with a silly meme: 'You built this'

Tonite we have the former Secretary of State, Former Senator from New York (The Empire State, by the way-- yes I have a bias -- I got to vote for her) and Former First Lady of the United States of America, Hillary Rodham Clinton who will debate Donald John Trump. businessman.

He wants to make America great again. (It's not America: It is the United States of America)

I'm gonna pull out my patriot flag. We have have been great, we have always wanted to be better.

Please jump in and make your comments known.

Welcome to all our Turnips! friends!

and

Another type of debate.
Author: Raine Date: 09/26/2016 13:05:06

While everyone is buzzing about tonite's debate, there is one that is getting little notice. That's right - Congress can't do its job and we are facing yet another Government shutdown.

Tomorrow night is the big night! The first face off between an American inspiration who is experienced, knowledgable and an expert on everything and Hillary Clinton. And I know just what you're all thinking; who the heck is Gennifer Flowers?
