It seems that Michiganders/anians (take your pick) aren't being blown away so much as just hiring a moving van and driving.
But .............
So, no worries then.
I'm back to my cheerful pursuit of monitoring The Bradley Model
and it's prognosticative powers as we approach the doom period of the summer of 2010.
If you remember from our previous discussions, Red is bad, Green is good, Purple isn't terrible, but it ain't all that helpful either.
The last of the good is abating this day.
We shall see.

Sen. John Kerry, who has repeatedly voted to raise taxes while in Congress, dodged a whopping six-figure state tax bill on his new multimillion-dollar yacht by mooring her in Newport, R.I.
Isabel - Kerry’s luxe, 76-foot New Zealand-built Friendship sloop with an Edwardian-style, glossy varnished teak interior, two VIP main cabins and a pilothouse fitted with a wet bar and cold wine storage - was designed by Rhode Island boat designer Ted Fontaine.
But instead of berthing the vessel in Nantucket, where the senator summers with the missus, Teresa Heinz, Isabel’s hailing port is listed as “Newport” on her stern.
Could the reason be that the Ocean State repealed its Boat Sales and Use Tax back in 1993, making the tiny state to the south a haven - like the Cayman Islands, Bermuda and Nassau - for tax-skirting luxury yacht owners?
I've posted the occasional chart demonstrating this same relationship in the past.
This one might be a little better.

Tall Paul called again.
"I read your sermon
.............................................................................."
Finally I bite, "And?"
"Too long."
"Too long?"
"Yeah. ....................... You working out tomorrow?"
"No, I have a couple of meetings, probably Monday."
"Allright, Catch you there."
"Wait a minute, you got anything other than too long?"
"No."
"Ok, see you Monday."
"Allright."
