As you know, I’m no Trump apologist. However, I really don’t hold this against him. He believed Fauci and others and actually did a heck of a job mobilizing all available resources toward a common goal. Unfortunately, it was the wrong target, but I really can’t fault him for that. He has no...

I would typically agree, but I have been amazed at how fast they are moving. The east west expansion was likely mostly latent capacity, but holy smokes!

Control of Hormuz becomes less important by the day. The Saudis have completed a major expansion of the east west pipeline, dramatically reducing their dependence on Hormuz. Further expansion is in the works, although admittedly the Houthi's are causing problems on the exit of the Red Sea. A...

Greater Kruger bulls, Klaserie.

I have done all three but not on the same day. As mentioned above, the salmon will be the challenge. Land a salmon early in the day and it shouldn’t be too tough to add a brace of grouse and a stag. For what it’s worth, the grouse would be the highlight of the three for me.
