Fires are no longer an issue, a very slight south wind has pushed the smoke our way and an inversion has nailed it to the ground level. Visibility is less than 500 metres.Strangelove wrote:Topper wrote:Smoked in from the fires in Washington State, Yesterday we had the second worst air quality of any where in North America, only Omak, in the midst of the fires was worse.
Today isn't any better. We're 3x the level of Beijing.
Hopefully you don't end up like Dave Dave ^^
I haven't heard much, are things expected to get better anytime soon?

None of this was real money anyways. Once China started paying attention to the newly filthy rich and nailing them with corruption charges this was inevitable.SKYO wrote:Speaking of China...'Hundreds of billions wiped off world stock markets in worst plunge since 2008'

"WORLD stock markets plunged on Monday after a near-9 percent dive in China shares, but commodities and the dollar pared losses and U.S. stocks staged a striking comeback in a volatile session after European markets closed.
After dropping more than 1,000 points, or almost 7 percent, at Wall Street's open, the Dow Jones industrial average eased losses and was off less than 2 percent in afternoon trading. The benchmark Standard & Poor's 500 index was down 2 percent after earlier approaching correction territory, or 10 percent off its record high......
"Oil prices also recovered somewhat after plunging to six-and-a-half year lows. Safe-haven U.S. government and German bonds, as well as the yen and the euro , rallied as currency concerns kicked in due to China's recent currency devaluation
U.S. crude was last down 3.7 percent at about $38.95 a barrel after falling as low as $37.75 earlier in the day and Brent was off 4.2 percent at $43.57 after falling as low as $42.51 to take it under January's lows for the first time. Worries about weaker demand from normally resource-hungry China added to global supply glut concerns."

"China stock market crisis: Who's to blame?
http://www.aljazeera.com/blogs/asia/201 ... 59794.html
When stock markets tumble they make headlines. #BlackMonday is trending on Twitter.
This crisis has been long in the making. To overcome the North Atlantic Financial Crisis - you may refer to it as the Great Recession of 2008 - governments and central banks began to flood the market with money.
Quantative Easing it would appear was the sticking plaster that masked many sins. Global stock markets soared. The real economy barely showed signs of life.
Beijing, reluctant to see decades of hard economic growth succumb to the greed of Wall Street, spent almost $600bn propping up its economy. That delayed the inevitable. Not just for China but for many commodity and oil exporting nations."
I love market volatility, lots of overselling means great bargain$ and quick rebound$ on the stockmarket.

In Okinawa, all Miyagi know two things: hockey and karate.

This guy is just one victim shy of having taken part in the 226th mass shooting (four or more victims) in the United States this year. By the way today is the 238th day of the year.

So hows the general mood been around here with our new GM destroying our team with horrible trades and awful contract signings? Has the dudes head exploded yet? Mine just about has.

Just like every era, there's the JB haters, logical fans like me & JB uber fans.
I'm in the wait and see category, lets see how these new players blend in and the young guys develop, especially the prospects/utica players who are about to take over this franchise all within a few years.
