OT I see you live in Minneapolis. We were on our way to Canada earlier this summer and had planned to visit St. Paul and try to find a nice restaurant with German food, maybe, for dinner. We were in a motel on the NW side of Minneapolis. The traffic was horrendous, the sky got dark, and the TV said tornadoes had been spotted moving towards us, so we just had time to get some stuff from a supermarket before everything cut loose. The motel had a microwave so I sat there and ate some kind of frozen Chinese health food, which was quite good. But that's all I saw of Minneapolis. We had to get on to our reservation in Winnipeg. Were you in town that day?

It's about two years too early to become self-congratulatory, but FAX seems to be doing what I hoped it would. Marches right up in company with the Aussie dollar. I do dearly hope the Euro continues its rise. Mikey/Knighty wisely got out when he got his money back on it early this year; I hung on and averaged down on my euro warrants, and put lots of cash into BEGBX. There seems to be an increasingly loud chorus at home as well as abroad, calling for a weaker dollar and predicting such. As bearish as I am on the dollar, though, I am quite happy not to be in currency futures. I will leave those to J. M. Keynes other assorted wild men <G>.
