I used to use air travel. Something I will avoid now. The main problem is the volcano has made air travel unreliable, you just don't know when flights will be cancelled. All this crapola with security has also put the dampers on it. It is now faster and more reliable to travel anywhere in the UK by train or car. I used to fly from Glasgow to Gatwick to get to the southern end of England. To get cheap flights, ones that were cheaper then the train or car, you had to book up months in advance. NO WAY will I risk my money on that process. I also prefer other air passengers to test the technology and processes to bypass ash problems. belfasttelegraph.co.uk travelbite.co.uk My car can be used to measure the ash problem. There was not much dust on it the first week air travel was disrupted. There has been more dust on it recently. It's only a ground level measurement of course. I may have to wash it more frequently, maybe as much as once per month -g-

Bought some more euros as the last lot got stopped out. My view is that it's all crap. ALL OF IT. Interwoven and highly sophisticated financial instruments but plain crap all the same. One type of crap cannot be allowed to get much higher or lower then other crap as it's makes the whole system even more prone to total failure. Trade between countries is disrupted if valuations between various types of crap become too severe. Volatility between various types of crap will go up as time goes on. It's all going to zero except for gold and silver, but not for the want of trying by the CB's -g- Thats it. My monetary thesis in a nutshell -g-

Gold $1218. As we approach financial armageddon, the sky is the limit, IMO. Gold and silver could skyrocket. Gold could do $5000, maybe more, who knows. All of the western gov'ts are just printing money and making it worthless. You can't print your way out, or print your way into prosperity....every country that ever tried failed....and turned into zimbabwe or weimar. But, don't worry....ben is an expert....on what?....I have no idea....maybe fixing Model T's?
