      Gold dropped below crazy land so 8.492 before the markets open.

    Typical boring update that will not offend, most.

    I suspect I am alone but did anyone else catch intro to GBTV last night? Intersting fact about over 55 no-Netflix, under 25 no-TV.

      If attempting to address an audience that spans multiple generations, there does not seem to be a single form of media that can reach all age groups. We are a divided society.

      What about beamed bio-resonant rf mind control?

      That was the technology I was using when I made my original assumption.

      5 tons of stone inplace and leveled. I love sound of cement mixers in the morning.

      Grampa_of_Oliva_n_Eden

      Stawberries heeled in last night. Rasberry bushes planted next to garage. I am estimating about 4 pickup loads this week-end of top soil should keep me busy.

      In the early 1900's Wilson locked up people for what they said. One guy locked-up due to reading Bill of Rights in public.

      My wife and I turned to each other and wondered how no-readers would follow it. We loved it and I was applauding at the end!

  9. Grampa_of_Oliva_n_Eden

    Hermin and Newt would make an intersting pair. Give them the congress to support them. Maybe I'll get a chance to retire after all.

    Doing what Steeler Fans do while trying to keep that Da#$ "Here we go..." song out of my head.

      Jets made it interesting in the 2nd half. I almost turned the game off.

      In the Ravens game, Baltimore gave me a scare. In the Jets game, the Steelers gave me the scare.

      Been there, lost that. Great game!

  13. Grampa_of_Oliva_n_Eden

    There has been a run on radiation detectors. Do I sell mine now or hold-out to barter for gasoline later?

    1. Grampa_of_Oliva_n_Eden

      Grampa_of_Oliva_n_Eden

      Hint: In a pinch a radiation detector can be built out of a styrofoam cup and some tin foil. The tricky part is calibrating it.

      Buy low, sell high. You could probably buy it back for half the sales price in a month or two...

    Pre-67 borders! All time dumbest idea.

      If you ever planned to see Jerusalem, go now before it is too late.

    2. Grampa_of_Oliva_n_Eden

      Grampa_of_Oliva_n_Eden

      The wife and I agreed. We hope it was just a dumb move and not intentional. Otherwise with allies like the US who needs enemies?

  15. Grampa_of_Oliva_n_Eden

    Is it time to drop off off the cliff?

      If the debt issue is not fixed, we should expect this to keep sliding and our saving along with it unless you are in gold.

      Shed, or hideaway? http://articles.boston.com/2011-05-01/lifestyle/29493710_1_space-heater-marriage-counselor-town-house

      Grampa_of_Oliva_n_Eden

      According to my wife it is actaully a shed. It has to be a shed to justify her breaking out episode #1 of Monty Python's Flying Circus to see the "Authur 2-sheds Jackson" skit.

      Silly Princess!

      The gunpowder I put in my .45 reloads weighs more than $1 worth of gold. And, I load my ammo light.

    We should surround the homes of all scientist and engineers with crowds with bull-horns. One of them is supposed to invent what replaces oil but have been shirking their duties!

      You have not lived until you fix cross-linking that spans four sites, and three continents.

    I have been stocking Potassium Iodide tablet for 25 years or more, just in case...

    1. Grampa_of_Oliva_n_Eden

      Grampa_of_Oliva_n_Eden

      plese stock up on canned goods. A pantry full of canned goods will allow you to help others when the time comes. I prefer Dinty Moore myself.

    Are You ready for TEOTWAWKI ? Excellent book! Fast read. TEOTWAWKI - The End Of The World As We Know It.

    Kinetic Military Action - Is that like "No not a bug, a feature" ? I used to think words meant something. Maybe we should switch over to talking in binary.

    1. Grampa_of_Oliva_n_Eden

      Grampa_of_Oliva_n_Eden

      At least in binary we know True means True.

  24. Grampa_of_Oliva_n_Eden

    Back from vacation to find the Dw/Gold ratio is now at 7.982. First time I have seen it below 8.

    1. Grampa_of_Oliva_n_Eden

      Grampa_of_Oliva_n_Eden

      that should be "Dow/Gold"

  25. Grampa_of_Oliva_n_Eden

    I support the Hobbit party. Frodo for President (or anyone with his character)

    1. Grampa_of_Oliva_n_Eden

      Grampa_of_Oliva_n_Eden

      The prolem with Hobbits is when they stand-up to help, nobody notices.
