***OFF TOPIC*** My provider has been acting strange this past couple of days. I got this on my e-mail and I can't make heads nor tails of it. Perhaps someone can pass it along. thanks in advance.
<<< January 16 Hi William, It's Uncle Blinky. How is the weather up there in Redmond? It's raining here, but Grace got her brother to fix that leak in the roof last week, so we're quite comfy.
William, I know you're busy with all those people up there, but I wanted to ask you about something. You know I saw in the paper that you have to pay $600,000 in property tax this year on the old homestead. Now, I don't mean to pry, but that seems a little steep for property tax, and I was talking to the man down at Mr. G's Discount Computers, (you remember him, his nephew was up in Cambridge when you were there), and he told me he bought some shares in this company called ASCENDING COMMUNICATION. He said they make a lot of good stuff, better than the other people. Well, I don't know about that, but he seemed sincere.
Anyhoo, he said that he was pretty sure that the shares would go up pretty soon, (like I said, I don't know about this stuff, but he seemed to know what he was talking about).
So here is my idea, and it's OK to say no. If you got about 100,000 shares, and then the stock went up 6 dollars, then you could pay for your property tax. Course if it doesn't well then you shouldn't do it. But Mr. G. says you ought to do it real soon, because he thinks the shares might be more expensive next month.
Oh, and William, please don't upset Janet like that. Grace says she's worried. She says Janis has that Tommy Lee person and that Will person and that Will has the noisy cricket. She says Janet can get kind of cranky. She said you'll know what she is talking about.
Well, William, that's all for now. You take care and please think about my idea. And Grace says don't forget about the noisy cricket. (She cracks me up sometimes).
Love, Uncle Blinky >>> |
