I grew up in this now-dilapidated E. Tennessee cabin in the 70s. It wasn’t much better then. Exposed TVA-era electric wiring, coal-burning fireplace and running water only in an add-on room. Not exactly good times, enough to motivate me to leave at 17 and into a 32-year Navy career w/advanced deg.

Tariffs & Trade Wars in action? Matson Lines’ m/v Kaimana Hila outbound from Honolulu for Guam this morning as seen thru my spotter scope. As with many container ships here recently, she appears only about half-loaded, an increasingly common sight for me.

They must have learned this from a house cat.
