The Greater Depression
For anyone who ever wondered what the Great Depression was like, now you are going to get a chance to see a Greater Depression. Stocks are plummeting, reflecting disapproval of the bailout. Cash is King. If you have a job, great. I have retirement income, but I wonder how long the Government will continue to pay it. Bye bye birdie. At least I'm alive, maybe my 28 gauge will turn up to shoot yummy rats and snakes.

what a cheerful thought...
Hey, this blog is supposed to be about "living well". If you shut yourself off from the hype life still seems pretty darn idyllic to me. I have 40 years until retirement though.
And...I hardly think you need to eat rats and snakes just yet, there are plenty of deer to be had. It might be a good idea to stock up on ammo in case it gets hard to find, and it is surely cheaper now than it will be in the future.
Actually I agree with you. I just had to vent.
Anyway, I don't like to hunt most animals. I'm not hungry yet. But I despise copperheads and rats.
Brian has eaten rattlesnake he clubbed to death then dried on a rock. He says it tastes like dried fish. My company had a very good year and I got a 7.5% raise today. So things are not that bad.
congratulations on the raise!
I have reason to believe that your DNA gives you a high risk for a high IQ.
I don't think so. I think I consistently get in the low 130s on tests. That's bright but not take-over-the-world smart. I don't think the bell curve is an appropriate measurement, because the average person with an IQ of 100 is well, kind of dumb as evidenced by who they vote into office and what's playing on TV to entertain them. Still, I've spent most of my life feeling like I was a lot slower than my peers in writing and math. I have many friends and family members who I know are my intellectual superiors. But the really clever people surround themselves with people who are smarter than they are.
130 is considered quite high, dumkoff.
