Moby Dick Guns for Sister Semiconductor Mermaid

Mish Schneider | March 13, 2018

I shot this photo using my iPhone, while on a whale watching boat.

Take Risks and Keep Forward

Mish Schneider | March 10, 2018

If a picture says a thousand words, this man and his T-shirt say at least that many.

I love that he carries a bowl of ice-of course, just in case the economy …


Is Sister Semiconductors a Half Fish Out of Water?

The Brown Earth Dog is A Fire Breathing Dragon

Mish Schneider | March 1, 2018

The dragon dance is a customary way to celebrate the Chinese New Year.

We all know what dragons breathe-FIRE!

Furthermore, where there’s smoke, there’s fire.

Plus, as the element this year of the brown earth dog is water, bulls now …


Is it Time to Raise Some Cash?

Mish Schneider | February 28, 2018

It cost more money to print this sign than what the balance due is.

Plus, cash is not an option, only check or money order.

Mish Schneider | February 27, 2018

U.S. Army Camel Corps.

The scene in the photo depicts a soldier, apparently leading the charge, somewhere in the Southwest, USA, whilst atop a camel.
