Well, I did yesterday. I'm down $10,000 in speculations that went no where. only about $2,000 of that is terminally gone, the rest is just realyl, really embarrassing. So, since funds move so slowly, and the payout each year is good until Dec. 18th on Ultra, it's just as well to be out until after October. I've noticed more casual conversations about my desire to find edible delicious plants and grow veggies under lights in the house is meeting interested agreeement. Even five years ago that would have sounded a little nuts. Just sitting and watching it all in wonder and amazement. My question--where IS the food growing these days? Watching the weather channel, it seems there's no place anything can grow for more than a week anymore. Being the product of at least 4 generations of actual settler/farmers moving out from Virginia via Kentucky to Missouri and then Kansas, and then one generation of associated wheat farmers from the city, well, I have veggie watching DNA, I guess. It was very important. If you didn't grow it and can it, you didn't hardly make it through the winter. I actually got in onthe very last of that breed with my Kansas grandma. She still made her own butter in the mixer, and canned the most unbelievably delicious food every single year until she just couldn't. And they were far from poor, and lived well inside the Dodge City limits. Find myself obsessed with wondering who is growing the food. Once itis totally in the hands of the huge cartels, well, that opens strange doors, I'll tell you that. In the end all money will be in food, just like the Bible sayxz, I believe, as it will probably very soon go to Soylent Green of some kind, with only the very rich eating what we have all happily thrown away when only vaguely wilted or with a tiny spot our whole lives. It's just a feeling. The QUALITY of the vegetables all summer here has been very puny. All blamed on El Nino. I also have noticed a very, very definite lack of abundance in my little bity garden, and the super gardners across from me said their zuccinis haven't been growing much. That spooked me that the UV is getting beyond the tolerance of the plant world. When you don't have a million zuc's on a small plant even something is wrong, but I dont' know what. Maybe just a fluke. This is the second morning the Campaq computer has had definite up recommendations from quizzed top analysts. Just heard another. Same thing yesterday. Inventory corrections and building PCs to order from here on, and up from here for 12 months. I also wonder what's happening with poor little MUIE.
