Don't Get Desiccated!

By Dennis E. Powell | Jan 15, 2025 at 11:47 PM

In addition to its other attributes, winter is a time of low humidity. That gives static electricity opportunity to romp in its annoying way. It does dangerous things, too, such as making it easy for your city to burn down.

What We Can Know About 2025

By Dennis E. Powell | Jan 01, 2025 at 9:53 PM

There are things we can know about 2025 within a minuscule margin of error, and it’s worthwhile to know at least some of them ahead of time, for planning purposes. Many of them are things humans cannot change. Others are things that humans could change but probably won’t, for good or bad reasons.
