If it is...it's another kind of nuclear explosion. Combine it with the Gunrunner thing, and you have exposed governmental corruption of ginormous (as my kids would say) proportions.sueknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964596045360803212.post-64206338129707793002011-03-16T23:41:29.741-07:002011-03-16T23:41:29.741-07:00Sue, yep, right now, me and my partners are lookin...Sue, yep, right now, me and my partners are looking at this dip in silver, in particular, as a buying opportunity.<br /><br />I don't know about the tomato cages. He used them last year, so I'm guessing they worked for the type of plant he has. I'll ask him about the other type you mentioned.<br /><br />Thanks for the link. I'll take a look later.<br /><br />Russell, I got an email from a guy where he informed me that Iodine 131 has a half-life of 8 days. It takes the jet stream 9 days to get to the west coast! I'm looking into it, but what I've read so far has been confirmed.<br /><br />Isn't it interesting that the MSM hasn't mentioned that the US mainland is basically out of harms way regardless of how bad it could get in Japan?<br /><br />Doesn't make good TV, I guess. And of course, they wouldn't be caught dead taking any of the boogie man out of nuke energy.Chief Instructorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13604561415860237705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964596045360803212.post-52658918709104742622011-03-16T13:18:18.572-07:002011-03-16T13:18:18.572-07:00About his tomato cages...Maybe those work for him,...About his tomato cages...Maybe those work for him, but I've found that type insufficient. It probably depends on whether you have the type that is determinate or indeterminate. I have the Park Seeds tomato cages and really like them, ( http://www.parkseed.com/gardening/PD/6883/ )although I lust after the Texas Tomato cages. Can't really justify them...but for three years now, I've "drooled" and considered buying them.<br /><br />http://tomatocage.com/<br /><br /><br />Here's your totally off-topic but worthwhile link of the day:<br /><br />http://www.randomjottings.net/archives/004578.htmlsueknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964596045360803212.post-2019161388255505132011-03-16T09:51:13.517-07:002011-03-16T09:51:13.517-07:00We are too far to have to worry about fallout.

Generally, his philosophy was that you buy ownership in a good solid company, expecting growth of your money due to growth of the company. His opinion was that if you want to make money buying and selling stocks on the market, you might as well go to Vegas.<br /><br />Anyway, according to his theory, if you had stock in a good solid stock and the price went down, and if you saw no reason for the stock to go down ... buy more while the price was low!sueknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964596045360803212.post-23645761583170024582011-03-15T11:16:38.171-07:002011-03-15T11:16:38.171-07:00Terrie, yeah, his garden set-up last year ended up...Terrie, yeah, his garden set-up last year ended up being pretty inefficient. He swapped some things around and it looks to be a very good set-up this year.<br /><br />I'm looking forward to seeing how the spud-patch turns out. I dug down a good 12 inches, they made the mounds, so there should be plenty of good, loose soil for the 'taters to grow.<br /><br />About the reporters, yeah, I'm all dewy-eyed... ;-)<br /><br />Sue, I have been hearing so much contradictory information, I just don't know what's the truth. The Japanese government is known for REALLY hiding the truth from their citizens, so it's tough to tell what's real.<br /><br />The economic ramifications will be interesting to see. Right this second, gold and silver are getting hammered (gold's down $34). The Dow Jones is down around 200 points.<br /><br />I understand the stock market being down, as US companies that do biz in Japan will be hurt. I don't understand why precious metals are down. A number of articles I read said it was because investors are liquidating to get into cash. <br /><br />Why do that? Perhaps to be able to buy stocks in companies that will benefit from the Japanese mess. I dunno.<br /><br />Andrea, it's cool walking down the rows, reading the tags to see what's going to be sprouting in no time at all. There's something in his soil that is magic for tomatoes and for turnips (which I left off the list). I don't know what they have in common, but they sure love his soil!Chief Instructorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13604561415860237705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964596045360803212.post-47427553362542810582011-03-15T10:38:49.713-07:002011-03-15T10:38:49.713-07:00Can I just sit here and drool over that garden for...Can I just sit here and drool over that garden for a few minutes?
