*** Recent cycles have become more erratic in terms of historical
cycles. There have been some experts who saw signs that the new cycle
had started about a year ago while others aren't sure it has even now.
A larger group seemed to think it started only within the past 4 months
or so. There are lots of different theories, but nobody really knows,
and any predictions made are mostly guesswork at this point, but prior
ones have indicated a more active one this time, so....
