Its a gorgeous night here- Temp 84, wind 5, hum 45% and a moon. Just perfect. All we need is women and music. Time to sit on the porch and reminisce We have been here 7 years now. Summers get easier each year. Glad to see you havent lost your horns, Dyn, Almn.<g> Guess we told them old bears off back in 98 ( or wuz it '97?) Maybe I should plan your retirement. (haha) 1. You will need a quite place ( like GW's ranch) only not that big. Nothing better than living away from that Austin traffic. 2. A big garage - mine was 30 by 52- thought I might put an airplane in it but now its only 30x 30 because I added some rooms. I think 30 x 60 would hold your car collection and a few other things. Now just wait a minute SI, I wasnt ready to post this yet ! I will look into what stocks I had 12 years ago see if its worth holding F, BAC, AAR, Weco ( or Wen or Psd ) Gibralter, Midway Airlines, SIG, BSG. How can one tell though, when 2 are gone because of bankruptsy and Weco changed its name three times. Southern Indiana Gas too. Put ENE down on Yahoo - see what you get for history- Nothing, thats what.That whole company and its history have seemingly vanished !

What if I had kept my best (haha-joke) long stocks from 1987? Gibralter Savings- In at $14, out at $13 - Bankrupt (paid 12% div) Midway airline In at $14 out at $9- Bankrupt (paid 12% div) ATT in at $20, out at $55 It was $42 in '87, $11 today PSD $5 , now $20 Hmmmmmmm a winner Paid 12% div, then less ) Standard Brands Paint ( A Bass brother venture) $15, bankrupt -today is 0.0001 Standard Products- Cant find it-bgt out AAR Was $7, now is $6 F was $8, now $12 Southern Indiana Gas Cant find it, bgt out Bay State Gas - Cant find it , bgt out WECO Cant find it ( part of PSD, I think) So after 15 years of holding these 11 stocks: !. Three will go bankrupt 2. Four will disappear 3. The remaining 4 would have cost a total of $62 in 1986, and are worth $43 today (Thats F, T, PSD< and AAR) Sig Meanwhile in 15 years the Dow went from 2300 to 8800 and the Nas from 400 to 1376
