Another day and deeper in debt...

Select "Top 1, Tennessee Ernie Ford" and clicking on "real"

Sixteen Tons

Some people say a man is made out of mud,
A poor man's made out of muscle and blood.
Muscle and blood and skin and bones,
A mind that's weak and back that's strong.

You load sixteen tons, and what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt.
Saint Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store.

I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine.
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine.
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
And the straw boss said, well-a bless my soul.

You load sixteen tons, and what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt.
Saint Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store.

I was born one mornin' it was drizzling rain.
Fightin' and trouble are my middle name.
I was raised in a cane-brake by an old mama lion,
Can't no high toned woman make me walk the line!

You load sixteen tons, and what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt.
Saint Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store.

If you see me comin' better step aside,
A lotta men didn't - A lotta men died.
One fist of iron, The other of steel,
If the right one don't get you
Then the left one will.

You load sixteen tons, and what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt.
Saint Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store.

Les, those synthetic leases are only the tip of the iceberg wait until the real derivatives must be also disclosed including the put on their own stocks on the various currency and commodity forwards / futures and option.

Most banks and international corporation will not be as "risk free" as many think.

Bulletin: Alaska Tip Line

It is not often that I will report things on this site without "second sourcing" but I just got word from one of my sources in Alaska. (Remember, I worked up there in the late 60's as a tech-rep for RCA, so I know a few folks in a few places...)

Elmendorf AFB (Anchorage area, next door to Ft. Rich) reportedly will be down to emergency patients only in the April-May timeframe.
The Third Medical Group that had been serving there is being moved to Kuwait according to sources.
What has been 20+ F-15's at the base are down to 4 or so...
A source from Valdez reports that a search is on for a person of Middle East appearance who had maps of Alyeska Pipeline Pump Stn. 12 (60 miles or so from Valdez).
The Coast Guard in the Valez area is on high alert because (a second hand report has it that) Middle East looking people without fishing gearhave recently tried to rent boats in the Valdez area. They have since gone to ground, but the search is on.
