Glad to see you're keeping busy, Jay!

I have to admit I'm getting excited about the apparent turn in the mining shares and glad you're making good dividends off OUR oil, LOL.

I'm writing an article about J. Bob Carter tonight. Who is JB, you might ask? Well, he was a man of no particular intelligence who happened live in Alberta in the 60's and 70's, parlaying the sale of the family farm into a big real estate ponzi scheme.

He had sold everything in early 1979 intending to go even bigger when poof!, the Edmonton real estate bubble collapsed and he was left with nothing but cash. Lots of it.

The point of the story?

1. JB became something of a media darling after he moved to Vancouver. They didn't write a lot of stories about the people who were wiped out by the inability to service debt after the collapse.

2. JB was later caught in a lurid act in a public place with a prostitute and ended up in Betty Ford where he was never heard from again. Maybe he got religion.

3. Nobody cared what happened to the prostitute though it is rumored she later visited the farm of one Robert Picton and became pork tenderloin.

4. If there is a God, he or she works in ways that are too mysterious for me to understand.

Carly looks like my kind of woman. I actually think I could handle her. First I'd talk about the flowers (emphasing tulips), then on to Alan Greenspan, the Boyz, the Pig Men, and on to Bubbles. The last part about Bubbles and Baths ought to do the trick. <VBG>.
