Currency markets are being roiled lately all over the world. Eventually, that volatility will find its way into the market. Right now the markets are on auto-pilot, and the computer is adjusting for the bumps up and down. Soon that will end (when is anybody's guess, but probably sooner then later). One day, at some point, mere humans will have to take control, when that happens - watch out - because it will be one heck of a ride.

OFF TOPIC : Garden report from Houston: The 4 peach trees I planted in late January are now blooming and have many leaves. Yesterday and today we've planted 5 herbs fennel, rosemary -several kinds,thyme,dill, 7 tomato plants, egg plant,and 10 pepper plants all hot : jalapenos, seranno, cayenne, and chilepetin. I just love the spring. Whatever is planted always carries great hope - it is an optimistic time. The lemon trees are really blooming out and I'm waiting on the orange trees to get it in gear. Bob

Thank you. You're very kind. I mean that. OT/We've learned so much from helpful neighbors. Local soil, wind and temp conditions vary considerably even within the same valley. What we can or can't grow here, is often quite different from friends only a few miles away. If memory serves, that's called "comparative advantage" in economics. Perhaps dates for olives, or something similar, is how trading began, many thousands of years ago. It's remarkable, and a little surprising, to experience the recurring sense of timelessness I feel about doing all this. Very fulfilling. Saturday morning, we went to a great State Ag. Ext. workshop on how to properly prune and nurture fruit trees. Excellent slide presentation plus hands on demonstration by the agents in an orchard 1/2 hr from here. Been going flat out the past two days, to get our trees in better shape. It's funny you mention pear trees. We're planning to plant our first two pear trees, ASA we can find the late blossoming variety we're looking for. No nursery operation nearby, so could even be a day trip. Be back when I can, and will be more On Topic than the above. Isopatch
