A few mast building notes...

What "magical thinking"  will get you, Krugman getting it right, and something very scary about vanishing insects...

So, about this new mast I've been thinking of building. In spite of my living in paradisaical southernmost  tRumpistan with the downside that things like materials are problematic at best. What I can't get locally requires stuff to be shipped down from upper tRumpistan which adds a depressing chunk of change to the overall cost of the mast.

That said, the cost for needful materials and shipping still appears to be well within what I consider to be the affordable zone and a whole lot less than a new mast from the usual suspects.

More about the particulars soonish...
