10-Year-Anniversary: Trade Problem

Posted on July 13, 2012 by Dave Johnson

For Seeing the Forest’s 10th anniversary I’ll be posting a few of my favorites. Here’s one, from 2005: The Trade Problem

View of San Francisco from Sausalito.

See how this ship is riding high off the water? This ship is loaded with empty containers, bound for China.

Ships come into the port loaded with goods that we buy from China. But China doesn’t buy very much from us. So we have to send ships back loaded with empty containers. (Well almost empty, they’re actually filled with dollars, and jobs, and the future.)

skippy’s tenth

Posted on July 9, 2012 by Dave Johnson

The tenth anniversary of the blog skippy the bush kangaroo is coming up (just 5 days before the 10th anniversary of this blog).
skippy was one of the first blog, if not the first, to put Seeing the Forest on its blogroll, helping this blog get off to a good start.
Blogging has come a long way, and not all of us have stuck with it. It has been quite an experience, struggle, adventure and urgent undertaking for all of us.
Go give skippy a great, bit CONGRATS!!!!!
