You got it. We go up to Guerneville every Friday afternoon and stop at Andy's on the way. Have done so for years. Back to SF on Monday evening, sometimes stop at Novato Costco on the way home.
Well, I really don't know about "serious". With someone like Edmond it's hard to know if he is a complete moron who actually believes that stuff or if he is just a troll trying to start trouble. (I suppose that "all of the above is possible too.)
H…
@Mark- Yes, that's been obvious for a long time. But if Edmond thinks that he can come here and get away with that line of BS he has another think coming. Thanks, Mark- I appreciate the backup.
Yes Edmond, we all know that you didn't start the thread, and of course you are welcome to react to it. Your reaction is pretty obvious- you challenge the relevancy to investing.
OK, that's fine... can you please explain why it isn't relevant to in…
Eggs are not "eggs". They come in many grades and varieties. One store that we visit each week has at least six different types of eggs, varying on size, color, and feeding/living conditions of the laying chickens. The prices range from approximatel…
Well Edmond, why don't you just explain to us exactly why accurate weather forecasts have no investing connection to agricultural or transportation or aviation or insurance or construction or emergency financial operations.
Right Edmond- There's certainly no investing connection to agricultural or transportation or aviation or insurance or construction or emergency financial operations. How silly of me to think so.
@Edmond doesn't seem to feel that accurate weather forecasting has any consequences or impact for agricultural or transportation or aviation or insurance or construction or emergency financial operations. Maybe he thinks that all of that weather inf…
OK, here's the latest on this from The Guardian:

Well @hondo, I hope that you don't live in Hondo, Texas. The folks there are very worried that cuts in Medicaid will close down their only local hospital, leaving them with almost no local medical care facilities. Before long you are talking about r…
"Just the mention of cod liver oil takes me back to the unpleasant taste of that horrible stuff my mother must have thought we needed."
You too, h'mmm? Although I do have to say that algae capsules don't sound so great either.
@Crash and @BaluBalu- Thank you both very much for your above comments. You have expressed my feelings exactly.
Said BaluBalu: There is a group that includes both Christians and Jews (I am guessing more Christians than Jews) that are overzionists wh…
"Let President Trump try to correct the problems of this country."
@hondo- President Putin will happily correct the problems of this country using King Trump as his dupe.
@hondo & @Edmund- It's pretty obvious that you folks get really uncomfortable when presented with factual reporting sources instead of the usual right-wing garbage that you've been weaned on. Kinda fun seeing you guys get all riled up.
@Edmund- Why on earth would we want to have any governmental operations whose job is to insure accurate statistics? It's so much easier to make that stuff up as you need to. Welcome to the third world banana republics.
"all of your name callings and other trash you and your cronies are putting out"
@hondo- would that be anything like your calling me and "my cronies" communists? How many times have I and my "cronies" kissed Putin's rear end... oh, wait... that's y…
Trump and Musk are gutting virtually any federal government office which could independently investigate anything. It's going to be one hell of a long time before any of that investigative authority is rebuilt. And that's no accident.
Following are edited excerpts from a current report in The Washington Post:
China imposed tariffs of up to 15 percent on a raft of U.S. farm products and blacklisted more than 20 U.S. companies, marking a major escalation in a brewing battle betwee…
I was wondering if the "rally" was Trump supporters trying to have a nice market day for his majesty's speechifying tonight. If so, they seem to have been overtaken by reality.
Without saying a word, TOT has the look of "I really screwed those guys" on his face.
