It's astounding that a week ago we were getting a foot of snow and today we had rain, yet in between we had three sunny days around the Eclipse! A phenomenon within a phenomenon!
ReplyDeleteVermont officials say upwards of 160,000 visitors came to Vermont for the Eclipse
ReplyDeleteImpressive both for the numbers and for how well they were handled.

Speaking of low birth rate: I recently saw in The Economist that if the current trend continues, the Chinese birth rate will fall below replacement level in just a few years. Interestingly, the problem is not quite as acute for ethnic minorities because the one child policy was not enforced so stringently for many of them. Still, China has a looming under-population problem. Already there is a severe imbalance of the sexes because under the one child policy so many couples selectively aborted female fetuses in favor of males.
DeleteApparently there is also a general reluctance to get married in China; so much so that the government has turned marriage into a patriotic act with mass weddings being special occasions and photo ops. and in a related development, Reuters reported a few days ago that girls in South Korea are increasingly reluctant to get married. Apparently the government is quite worried about this.
I was under the impression that the actual birth rate in China had been below the replacement rate for a while now; the official data from the central government has been inflated--it doesn't match the provincial data. Several years ago they eliminated some large military units for lack of men of military age-- which also happens to be working age . . .

Delete—Sun Tzu, “The Art of War,” 5th Century BC
Sun Tzu was a wise man.
DeleteHe is well worth reading; I suspect that graduates of the Russian military academies have at least a passing familiarity with him, but member of the FSB do not.

And the hits keep coming. Is Trump unusually imaginative (or thorough) when it comes to turning everything he touches into fraud, or unusually unlucky in getting caught time and time and time again?
ReplyDelete"There’s an alarming gap here between what the public wants and what state lawmakers have delivered.” And yet the voters of Illinois rejected an attempt to abolish the constitutional requirement for a flat 5% income tax rate across all income levels.
ReplyDeleteHe is both careless about legal details and subject to closer scrutiny than almost anyone else.
ReplyDeleteHe attracts scrutinizers like spoiled meat attracts flies.

Delete84F here today, same tomorrow. Saturday about 3/4 inch of rain, lower temperatures commence. We have made significant progress with weeding the front yard---one or two more partial days should finish it. Then on to the back yard.

Nice!! We are looking at 70ºF tomorrow, for the first time this season. Burlington hit 74ºF this week. Warm for here.
DeleteGreat analogy, Alan!
