Irrelevant but I can tell "codger" stories too....
One of my college jobs was a pump jockey, with gas at .21 per gallon...now for my younger friends, this wasn't world war 2, tho the late 60's may seem about as long ago.

No comment about the Raymond James pdf ? ....personally I think they've been conservative on many of their prosnostications, and remember they gave a caution last year about incipient weakness in a coming period. I'm going to put a little $ over there just to have daily access to their stuff.

While no one knows, I still say D. put it well, when, to paraphrase her, she simply stated there will be many peaks and valleys in the coming years. (I think rapid exiting for the door is when the greatest profit is to be made, tho my timing leaves almost everything to be desired.)

OT: thanks for the skibum info. to all.

Skiing? I'm looking to my verandah to see if when the first snow hits the Alborz Mountain range. Not yet

Iran Teaches Arabs to Ski
Ski training classes will be held by the Sport Tourism Association of Iran for Arab tourists.
Tehran, 23 October 2005 (CHN) – Iran’s Sport Tourism Association will be holding ski training classes for Arab tourists coming to the country.

According to Moradi, head of the Sport Tourism Association of Iran’s Public Sports Federation, Arab inbound tourists to Iran taking part in these training classes will receive a certificate at the end of the course.

The classes will be held with cooperation of Iran’s Ski Federation.

The low expenses in Iran compared to those in European countries, and cultural similarities of the two nations are important factors in attracting Arab tourists to the country.

Iran’s Ski Federation will hold its ski training courses with an expense of about 220 US dollars, which is much less than those held by European countries such as Switzerland and France.

Besides training, Arab tourists can come to Iran to enjoy the snow and cold weather which they are deprived of in their homelands, to exercise their skiing, and for entertainment as well.
