aqi/imr - if i'd had any aqi this morning [didn't!] i'd have sold at least some, probably all, and considered buying imr ... two reasons, 1. it ain't over, appeals and crap will drag on for years yet and provide many a trading opportunity, and 2. imr has a fair bit of cash and an history of effective promotion 'Dionysian urge' - yeah i know this one well, lol .... it's still about control of course, and very much so, as a desire to put control aside .... and you do it carefully, in controlled fashion, at least we survivors do - there are times and places and situations in which you can get stoned out of your gourd and live, and others in which you couldn't ... so in evading control you must exercise it, catch-22 On downunderismos - yeah, spent time in Godzone ... most of it in the early 90s, sussing out forestry land on an informal contract for a fellow here [in BC] ... came close to buying two places myself, one in the Catlins and later a small homestead near Kaitaia [55ac with the most beautiful little valley and an homesite with a view north over the sea, worked out to cdn37k at the time, owners were a man and wife splitting up, she gained control and pulled the listing after i'd signed and the deal was almost through, realtor couldn't sue her because she was his own wife's friend, aargh ... she ended up selling a few months later for less, with more costs, we heard later] .... spent a lot of personal time in Otago, various places from Portobello to Glenorchy [sp?], not much in Dunedin but liked it, for a citified area ... you'll have heard of Gabriel's Gulch, well i looked at a few acres that at one point overlooked it, just downstream from the original strike if memory serves, close to one of the corner pegs was a windrow of tailings from when they'd scraped the creek down to bedrock .... loved NZ, will be taking my daughter there soon as she can appreciate it
