Florida is similar.
There is some bits of it here but for the most part, no one cares.
Although I did see a woman wearing a mask, alone, in a golf cart tonight.
I guess she's worried about getting it from a passing vehicle.

Yesterday, down at the Texas/Mexico border, it was 95°.
Up at the northern border near Oklahoma, it was 10°.
An 85° gradient across the state.
It was 21° here this morning.
And here in Florida, I just got off the cart after dinner. Wearing shorts and a Polo shirt.
It's a nice 73 degrees.
I sold the truck, plow and snow blower before I left. While I was fond of that stuff, I'm really fond of 70s at 7pm on Jan 2.

Windows and sliding glass doors for my Villa? Ordered in MAY. Supposed to be out for delivery, today. I'm skeptical.
Ordered seat covers for one of my golf carts? Ordered in April. Arrived a few weeks ago.
The trusses were ordered in May, arrived in mid September.
Anyone trying to buy a golf cart around here is told April delivery. Nothing is available used, even garbage.
The only thing I've seen positive is that Ammo seems to be coming around again.
I have to say, I'm glad winters aren't _that_ cold here, so heating costs are low. Also, I no longer have to buy propane, which might go insane.
Let's go Brandon!

I have said this a bunch of times. Dollar Cost Average 50% BTC 50% Eth and profit.
I also bought about $150 of Shiba Inu some while back.
Tonight, I sold $200 of it and sent that money into my BTC wallet.
I still own about 8,000,000 shib which is currently worth about $550.

Just buy VOO or VTI. That's as close as a sure fire "safe" bet as you're going to get but still has great growth.
VTI is includes small and mid caps, so if one of those segments performs strongly either direction, it shows up in the overall.
VTI tends to outperform VOO in the long run but when there is a correction, it tends to eat it harder.
As long as you can hold for at least 18 months, either will recover any potential correction.
I have a lot in Voog(the growth version of Voo) and a lot more in VTI. VOOV has been a dog lately, so don't buy it. I sold my position when it finally made it green.

Speaking of shortage, so I'm buying paint for our 2nd villa and they not only have very few cans of paint at Sherwin Williams, they have the NERVE to charge a 4% "Supply chain" fee.
I've never been a fan of Sherwin Williams, it's just that all the approved colors are Sherwin Williams coded. Yes, I know homodepot can match it, but we just wanted to go grab the color and leave, not deal with some moron in the paint department out on work-release.
I could understand the FEE if you actually had the store stocked up. Apparently, you let the stock go, didn't pay any extra to get more in, and just decided empty shelves was a good excuse to charge extra.
At least the new windows are supposed to be in soon. We only ordered those at the end of April. The supply chain was better during WWII when they were running around collecting pots from housewives to melt down for scrap.

I ferried my guns to Florida in the car, mostly. 3 trips south, I brought guns. I sort of have a lot, so I couldn't do it all at once and haul much else. The long guns were the problem. Most of the handguns were done in one trip.
The last few days when the house was almost empty we shipped my gun cabinet in the PODS pod. I put some mosins, a couple BB guns and a crappy 22 in there, I packed about 30 boxes of 9mm in the bottom, strapped it to the side of the pod and off it went. I figured it if got stolen, I wasn't out my good stuff.

Is it because they have to make a white guy out to be the worst? Sorry but no we are not the worst.
Why hide this?
https://www.foxnews.com/us/chicago-weekend-violence-shooting-victims-murders-alderman-attacked
Because most corrupt lying rat news covers for the #1 domestic terrorists of the democrat RICO gang.
Because she's young, cute, blonde and white.
Everyone expects hood rats to kill hood rats.
Suburban moms though? They are the #1 consumer of cable news and daytime programming. I.e. the target audience.
If they see their daughters getting killed, it's big news. Obese hood rats though? Flip the channel.

That's some serious country to hide in He is heading into no man's land. If he's trying to run and hide he's heading for the right area. I don't know anything about this person. If he's a survivorlist. A camper. Not sure if he has the proper supplies. If not. Someone is helping him.
Yeah, if that's him, he's made a lot of progress.
Moving at night is pretty smart, specially since the moon is out right now. In a few weeks though, he's going to get shut down, you cannot travel in the country on a new moon without light. It's super dark. Like, not seeing your hand in front of your face kind of dark.
He makes it into Bama, he could probably find some remote country for a while, but frankly even out in the mountains, someone owns it and lighting a fire or whatnot is going to draw attention and winter is coming.
Maybe he's planning on heading out to California and disappear into the homeless encampments in LA or SF. Get paid, eat, bang a couple stinky homeless broads, blow dudes for money. The big life.

1 hour ago, DaddyNick said:He's on the run. Someone's trail camera in the woods got a pic of him. Hundreds of miles from his parents house.
EDIT: no official answer if it was him on the camera. Awaiting ID. As of this moment.
We'll see...
So let's game this out.
How do you get out of Florida? If you walk on roads, people are going to see you.
It is impossible to walk north out of Florida without doing it on a road. There are too many swamps and dense forests. Where there aren't swamps, there are people. You'd have to get a ride somehow and his phone and credit are shut down or at least monitored. Any of them light up and they'll be on him like stink on a hippie.
If he could make it to Georgia, he could probably do the Appalachian trail and get up into Tennessee before cold shuts him down. You do not want to be on the trail in the winter, much of it is at Elevation and _COLD_ in October, even in NC/VA/WV. Points north of there just forget it.
This makes me think he's still in Florida, probably within 100 miles, because frankly, how's he moving?
He's going to make use of covid masks, hats and hoodies, but I'll tell you this, most areas of Florida are still hot and almost no one wears a covid diaper.
Walking around bundled up is going to draw attention.
I'm guessing he's waiting for his beard to get thick and hair(horseshoe bald?) to grow out before he can travel any distance. By then it's going to be winter so foot travel in FL is doable, but a recipe for dying too much further north.
Possibly go south to Miami and do the heroin druggie route. He could blend in easily.
He's going to get caught soon enough unless he gets eaten.

13 hours ago, 45Doll said:No definite predictions are possible without knowing the exact size, shape and placement of the initiating landslide. And even knowing that the waveforms would still be an estimate based on a model, and the incursion into the continent in specific places would vary widely because of the disparate terrain characteristics.
If you look at a topographical map of your area of interest and compare the anticipated wave height to the elevation curves you can get an idea of how far in it would go at that location. Bigger wave = further inland.
According to that article I posted one of the worst case scenarios would put 82 to 98 foot waves on Florida's beaches. How far inland would you have to go to find land 100 feet above sea level?
Depends on the part of Florida. I live about 55 miles from the east coast at about 85 feet. There is a ridge about 80-120 feet high that is about 40 miles inland from the cost. It runs for miles north/south, central FL. I think I'm good, even if the worst case were to happen since I'm west of it. Jacksonville, Daytona, the Space Coast, Miami....ooof. That's going to be a mess.
That said, other scientists have run the models, and put the risk for most of the east coast at about 1-2 meters.
Now, Tsunami is not waves. A 1 meter Tsunami is the water level rising 1 meter, not a 1 meter breaker. It's still a devastating event for the seaboard, but inland, up a few feet, not so much.

The S&P does 5% drops around 3 times a year and a 10% drop every year and a half or so.
Give it a few days to settle and buy the dip.
This is probably caused a little by the impending Evergrande Chicom implosion and also because it's September.
Everyone expects the market to drop in September....so it does.

25 minutes ago, 10X said:I wonder if his parents were more complicit than originally thought. They didn't raise an alarm when he came home alone in Gabby's van, nor for several days after 'went missing' last week. But they did tell the police he was probably in the Carlton Reserve, and they did report that they found his car there.
Police abandoned the search of the Carlton Reserve very quickly. I don't think it was because they got tired of searching the swamp, I think it is because they don't believe he is there.
Yeah, it's starting to seem like the parents got him "out"(city, state, country??) then took his car over there to throw the police/feds off the trail.
I haven't been to that particular park or preserve but it's about 2 hours from where I live. I can tell you that for the past week, it's been hotter than the hubs of hell here in Florida and it's thunderstormed every evening for the past 8 days. No way someone is just chilling out there in that place. "Boiling out" maybe.

I still say he's going to hang himself.
With any luck his feet will be about 8 inches off the ground, like you'd bait for a gator. They'll gnaw and tug until he comes clean apart.

So a body was found in the area where the police were looking for this girl.
https://nypost.com/2021/09/19/body-discovered-amid-gabby-petito-search-in-wyoming-national-park/
There is a report that about 10 minutes after the discovery, search dogs were loaded up and driven off, as if they weren't needed any longer.
I'm going to guess that numbnutz will be found swinging in a tree in the park he's hiding in.

4 hours ago, JackDaWack said:Not sure if the missing 21 year old girl is even innocent in all of this considering she was the one having meltdowns and hitting the guy.
She comes across to me as 21 miles of crazy road not worth traveling. I'd have been out of that level of crazy long before a proposal.
Not saying it's a death sentence though. She probably needed another half dozen years of life to get her brain matured and possibly her hormone levels under control. Before anyone jumps on me for that, I've known several women who were bonkers until they got their estrogen and some other levels straightened out. One even apologized to me about it after she did get evened out.

4 hours ago, Mrs. Peel said:Let me clarify my original statement... I don't feel it's wrong for him to have a lawyer! What's unconscionable is that he and his lawyer are apparently not speaking to the police at all. That's what I meant by "hiding behind a lawyer". He could be sitting in that police station, with his lawyer by his side, forthrightly saying: THIS is the last place & time where I saw her, and she was alive and perfectly fine when we separated. I'll help in any way I can. If he was innocent, that would not only put that affirmative statement on the record, but I'm guessing it would be incredibly helpful information to locating her (dead or alive). He's her boyfriend... they planned on getting married... if he was a decent guy (even if he was ticked off at her during the end of their trip), wouldn't his concern for her override any recent peevishness?
But instead, right now, my understanding is the police aren't even sure exactly where to look for her - how does THAT help anything? By refusing to speak with the police - even with a lawyer - frankly, it radiates extreme callousness, perhaps even sociopathy, or worse yet, just plain old guilt.
Legal representation is good... impeding a police investigation is not good!
People have been convicted of murder without the evidence of a body.
In this guy's case, it may simply be that speaking about literally anything and getting any part of it wrong will likely lead to his conviction and incarceration.
boyfriend: "We were drinking and we left about midnight"
"We have you on camera leaving at 2am, what happened in those missing two hours?"
When in fact he was drunk and has a swiss cheese memory.
It could also be that he murdered her and the two married girls in a complete blackout.
Upon coming out of blackout, he drops the girlfriend down a cavern and drives home.
His calculus probably goes about like this: "Nothing I say or do will bring her back, therefore, telling the cops anything is not helpful, _to me_". A normal person would be wracked with guilt. Some non-trivial percentage of the population are sociopaths with literally zero guilt about anything. Your average blue-haired tik-tok harpy is a good example and this demon probably is the same.

13 hours ago, Displaced Texan said:Maybe that’s the new way of doing things. Like I say, my lender required appraisal and inspection.
I did conventional, vs VA (VA is a nightmare in itself).
I know our buyers did every inspection.
They even brought out their own guy with ground penetrating radar to look for a buried oil tank. The house never had a furnace of any kind before 2012, but I guess they wanted proof.
Their inspector was a moron. Said the sump pump didn't work. First of all there are three of them, not one. They all work. A main pump an incidental pump and a main backup. Easy way to test...fill the pit with water...oh look at that, it goes away. Dumbass.
Also claimed the front steps didn't have a rail. Odd that, he had to LEAN ON THE RAIL to take the picture of the space where there was no rail. Again, dumbass.
Also claimed the floor to the crawlspace was missing insulation. Again, dumbass, you don't put insulation between heated spaces so he apparently didn't see the radiator right there in front of him, hanging in the joists.
I wrote a nice passive aggressive refutation to all his nonsense as there were a bunch of little nitpicks. "Outlet has no ground". Ah, yeah, that's why those old outlets don't have the third leg, they were built in the 1940s! There are three original outlets in the house and they are ungrounded. Not a crisis, it's been like that for 65 years!

On 9/5/2021 at 8:06 AM, Displaced Texan said:I can only imagine from the buyers perspective…
We had a lot of solid offers. We didn’t accept the highest, but we took the one that seemed the most committed. She offered a nice chunk of cash up in escrow, and conventional financing. Well qualified buyer.
That made the difference to us, knowing she was a committed buyer, with cash to put down. She waived inspection, which I found odd. Not that we have any issues with our house, but me, I wouldn’t even think of buying a house without an inspection. Most all the other offers waived inspection as well.
We had a few VA/FHA offers that were above hers, but they weren’t putting much, if any money up front, and that kind of bothered us. I think nowadays, showing the commitment with cash up front is the key. Separates the men from the boys, so to speak.
She wants to close by mid October to lock in her rate, and we will rent back from her for a couple of weeks to make the timing work for our move.
Congrats.
We closed August 11. Accepted bid mid June, so was sorta bummed it took so long to close, but close it did. Check cleared, billed paid, mortgage closed, done and done.
We also didn't take the highest bid. We took the bid where they put 20% down and were easily approved for the rest.
I've been a Florida resident officially since early April, reaping the benefits of not paying NJ taxes.
I've actually gotten to know the new owners of our house and he drops me an email when he's got questions. I was up there helping my neighbor move since they sold at the same time, with the same realtor. The new owner was there and we spent 3 hours going over all the stuff you need to know about my old house. Nice guy, glad they got the place, they won't cut all the trees down and turn it into an AirBNB or something.
I was up in NJ for a week at Ocean City and we left a day early because of IDA. We stayed up there with her parents in Cherry Hill for a few days after IDA went through and was eating at Ponzios when those Tornados went through. Every phone in the place went off at the same time "Seek shelter immediately".
Ah, I now prefer the Hurricanes, you get a lot more advanced notice

53 minutes ago, Sniper said:How many of you guys jumped on the Robinhood IPO this morning??
...."Shares of Robinhood slipped as much as 10% during its Nasdaq debut on Thursday, after pricing shares at the low end of the IPO range.
The online brokerage started trading on the Nasdaq at $38 per share, valuing the company at roughly $32 billion. This was at the low end of Robinhood’s IPO range of $38 to $42 per share.

Robinhood is a shit company, so I wouldn't use their stock for Toilet paper if it were free.
That said, watching what happened with Coinbase, anyone who bought Robinhood is a numb nutz. The first few days is simply pre-sale whale wallets dumping their shares.

Anyone who has had to get rid of stank in something and failed in just about every way, ultimately will figure out that Ozone actually works.
I will caution you that you don't want to breathe it in. It's not like chlorine gas or something that will kill you in small doses but you will get an instant headache and be ready to barf shortly thereafter.
If you do get get trapped in a room with an ozone generating device, just understand it's turning your lungs into strawberry jelly. It's a comforting thought that you'll have a sweet flavor for the bacteria that are going to consume your lifeless corpse.
Oh and if you use it to much, stuff starts to degrade. Everything exposed to it will turn into powder eventually. Fabric will get threadbare, plastics will get brittle, paints will fade, plants will vacate quickly.
We had this 600 watt UV cure lamp that produced an ungodly amount of ozone and while we usually had the vacuum sealed well, sometimes it got bumped or whatever and it would leak. You could smell the stuff from the other side of our 200,000 sq foot factory with 30 foot ceilings.
It also wrecked the curtains in the room it was in. The just rotted off the curtain rod.
