Hello Elmat, I am having a lazy day. Nothing unusual.

I did my exercise and heavy-duty lympho massage routine in the morning, and just got done with swimming, pork chop sandwich with a side order of sunny-side-up eggs, and two cans of Pocari sports drink.

I am going to take a nap, and then join my wife in town for “Matrix Reloaded”, followed by a meal of some sort, probably Japanese.

I am glad I purchased the movie tickets 7 days in advance, given the SARS ‘all-clear’ signal, the theater will most likely be crowded, until SARS returns, or until something else goes wrong.

I feel that I am now over-dosing on bad news, and cannot be easily flustered by just ordinary bad news, but can only be roused from complacency by extra-ordinary bad news. I am too relaxed right now to imagine what extra-ordinary events awaits us, and so will have to tweak Maurice’s whiskers, and raid his vegetable patch some other day ;0)

Have a good weekend in Thailand. Should not be too difficult:0)

Chugs, Jay

Hi Elmat - Drizard recommnded BUYING Brazil bonds before Lula's election, saying that Lula was not a bomb throwing left wing nut. Since those bonds have gone way up in value, he is recommending taking profits.

John remembers the debt crisis of the 80's , and earlier. He grew up around Washington watching the IMF and the World bank. I don't think his opinion of either is printable....
