It's That Time Again:  Rabbit Redux Of Sorts    It's That Time Again: Rabbit Redux Of Sorts   And I guess it's down a rabbit hole of sorts.  Rabbit holes can be a familiar place but hopefully not so familiar they become commonplace. You know it's been said history repeats itself and that happens with some regularity for me.  Hopefully more good things remembered than bad times that are best left unvisited for a return trip.   As an aside, I have revisited blog posts here on ActiveRain for old times sake, to jog a memory or to make sure I am not repeating myself too many times on a given subject.   It really wasn't that long ago when my blogging repertoire was heavy with market reports and such.  While pondering has been a part of my life for much longer, putting those thoughts in writ... 04/20/2019

I don't feel overwhelmed by it.   Now about uncertainty.  The word seems to have a rather negative vibe surrounding it.  Forget what's... 01/29/2019

Temperature (degree... 05/08/2016
