well, i’m back in new york after a fun new years run that started with a jaunt to st louis for dad’s wedding, went to san francisco for new year’s eve, and ended with a vending marathon working the merch booth on the jam cruise…

and now that i’m back in new york? i’m reading about peak oil and the economic meltdown and all of the madness that may be in store when obama takes office in a little more than a week…

much of it is fueled by my interest in the writings of michael ruppert… his reading of the tea leaves is more than a little troubling.
