#TrumpTax

Powell: "What we're waiting for to reduce rates is to understand what will happen with really the tariff inflation... everyone that I know is forecasting a meaningful increase in inflation in coming months from #tariffs, because somebody has to pay for them... some of it will fall on the consumer"

Just a reminder as all the barrage of bullshit hits the media

@RickiTarr I grew up in several countries - met people of all types - and it was so clear that people are people. And that some people are luckier than others. I haven't ever really thought of socially open as left. To me it was always about human beings. Fiscally I am not as far left, but certainly I believe that we need to INVEST in people and communities.

Today it thundered.

My physical therapist just helped me reset my Apple Watch goals from 'CrossFit competitor' to 'successfully got out of bed.'

Finally, some achievable targets! 🏆

@jkirkendall poor pup. I remember how much our two trembled. I sire bickered down. I ran an errand in TORRENTIAL rain. Cars slowed to a crawl in some parts. There was a lot of flooding near our home. We live on a private road on a hill. Not sure if it still exists!!!! The road was a near river when I reached home finally this afternoon.

Watercolour sketches, Scottish mountains. Can you name them?
@JohnAltringham sScond one looks like the five sisters of Kintail. I have a very similar photograph somewhere.
@JohnAltringham Not as similar as I remembered. Still that near ridge line looks very familiar.
@rossquantum I can see the resemblance but no. Both sketches show one major peak from near the summit of another. I'll leave you in suspense for a while longer.
@JohnAltringham I would have a hard time even naming those close to home haha 😀
But they are really beautiful, I love how you were able to nail that rock texture… something I keep trying but so far have failed at.
@papernoise Keep trying, but not too hard, leave space for the paint and the paper and the water to do their magic.
@JohnAltringham I will! Thanks for the tips!
