This picture of the sun was taken Tuesday by the Ulysses spacecraft. That blotch at 1 o’clock is a full-fledged sunspot! It’s the first since July and marks the end of the longest spotless period since – well, since we began keeping track of these things. The longest period by far. This isn’t a good time for energy/heating bills to get higher because it’s going to get real cold in this part of the galaxy real soon. Martinize those fur coats now! (For details see earlier posts and click here.)
Everyone must be getting very tired of me being right so often lately. (Believe me; it’s not easy for me either.) But anyone who has listened to my admittedly boring ramblings lately know that I correctly predicted the sunspot crisis, the economic collapse, the Mets’ collapse, the Yankee disappointment, the Jets’ Farve mistake, the correct treatment(s) of my various diseases, the nation’s political future (so far) and, perhaps most importantly, the cause of most of the world’s trouble. More about that in a few seconds.
But first, for those of you who don’t believe the current lucky roll I’m on, you should ask my broker, who, 24 hours before the economy and the market tanked, argued with me and insisted that this was the exact wrong time to buy gold. For once, I refused to listen and insisted. He completed the transaction just in time to see the price of gold to see the biggest single day increase in history. Like Bernie said to me during the 1993 Post carnival, “Marc, sometimes when you’re on a roll, you just have to go with it.” My mom, of course, urged caution.
