Good Morning,

Thanks for rolling with me through my internet outage yesterday and inability to publish the normal Rip. We’re back in action.

Suspected vandals cut high voltage power line in Bend, Intel drops 13% in after-hours trading, Amazon rumoring more layoffs, Washington State considering eliminating interest on medical debt, Microsoft CEO says software layer is dead, foreign holders of US debt still rises despite shade from Davos, Gold and Silver continue to peak. What a day.
