So far in 2017, sun has been 90% blank (1 day of 11 had a small spot, today another small spot appeared). Folks, we are headed for at least a Dalton Minimum, and as we get further into it, possibly a Maunder Minimum. I hope we call this new one the ManBearPig Minimum. It's gonna get cold, and we will need to burn TONS of stuff to keep warm.
I read the CEO, President, Vice President and such start of year remarks today. Hold on, I’m getting there. All they had to say I have heard and seen before in some form in the last 40 years and at least 5 business cycles in the oil and gas business.
This is another kind of cycle, a weather cycle, perhaps a deeper one than in times past but yes, the sun says we are headed for colder times ahead. I recall heavy snows and cold here in Oklahoma and Missouri in the 50s, 60s and lingering snow in the late 70s followed by some longetimes of warm winters. I also remember roses for Thanksgiving some years. This year though summer lingered for two months followed by bitter cold and within days balmy warm days. Just another year here in Oklahoma where variety is the spice of life.
Cycles just continue. Wash, rinse and repeat and still someone can find crisis in each becuase the duration of the cycle is long compared to a lifetime though very short comapred to a continuium.
210s have always been great airplanes.
