Welcome back shaman.

If you've missed anything, your shaman abilities will quickly bring you up to speed.

Quite the roller-coaster ride going on these days. Only one change worth mentioning: SNAFU (situation normal all fouled up) has been displaced by FUBAR (fouled up beyond recognition). Otherwise, same mess different day.

And you're bang on: the promise of the next gusher just around the corner is still with us. Same prototype or archetype as the cavalry coming to the rescue. Such wishful thinking is as pandemic as ever.

We mortals have much to learn!

I learned that the government's best way of dealing with colossal debt problems is to take out more colossal debt. Oh, and the stock market likes this idea too, until they realize there is almost no way to foot the bill.

But oil is below $70/barrel, so Peak Oil has been averted, party on! (Yeah, whatever.)

I thought we had moved past FUBAR to BOHICA (Bend Over, Here It Comes Again)
