Hi Jay -
Yes, I am boycotting French everything, which in reality only means French brie and movies starring Gerard Depardieu, helas.
We are right in the middle of a blizzard, which is why I own the Rover. Last time we had a blizzard, Ben got sick and we had to walk two miles to the pharmacy in knee deep snow to pick up his prescriptions because the car we had then did not have four wheel drive. Also, my hobbies are gardening and home renovation, and it's great for hauling stuff. Trees, bushes, rolls of sod, bags of fertilizer, bricks, rocks, pressure treated lumber, boxes of oak strip flooring, you name it, I haul it. I can pull trailers, too.
I have no intention of selling it, as it has over 100,000 miles on the odometer, so the resale value isn't favorable. I'll drive it until it falls apart, and have no idea what I'll buy then. I was thinking Volkswagen but am ticked off at the Germans, too, now, and may get a Saturn. They just started making SUVs. I am not mad at the Japanese. Or maybe a Volvo. I am not mad at the Swedes, either. Hopefully, when the Rover falls apart, it will be five or more years down the road, so who knows who I'll be mad at then?
Gold is down (relatively), crude oil is down (relatively), TEOTWAWKI seems to be taking a long time to get here.
P.S. Bush pronounces Saddam as "sodom," as in sodomite. ;^) |
