7 Inches of Global Warming

Good morning!

7 fresh inches of global warming fell on us yesterday.... whew. Crazy. Or should I say 7 inches of white death. Drove past 20 cars in ditches yesterday, on the way to work. When I see cars in the ditch, I'm not that worried. When I see full-sized SUV's Like Tahoes & Expeditions in the ditch, I get worried. Crazy crazy crazy.... taking my life in my hands, just to show up at work....

Again I ask the question, how am I ever gonna handle 17 more years of this?!!?

So after I unburied my truck, spent 90 minutes cheating death on the road, working all night, unburying my truck again, cheating death again... whew. I layed awake for like, 20 seconds before I slipped into a coma for the next ten hours....

I've been meaning to start a seperate blog to strictly discuss the beauty of gambling, in all it's forms... I'm talking to you, stock market investors! Heh heh, that'll wake 'em up... Obviously I haven't done that yet, but let me share this: In the last 2 weeks, my pocket pair of aces has been drawn out on 3 times. Unreal. People with a 5% chance of beating me have beaten me 3 times in the last 2 weeks. That's insane...

Got 4th in a 3 table tourney yesterday, though, so that wasn't too bad... my online acount grows, slowly but surely....

Check this:
CNBC Million Dollar Challenge:

As of Market Close
Rank 86727 (Top 12%)
Week to Date -0.72%
Total Return 9.14%
Available Cash $1.59
Stock Holdings $1,091,369.43
Total Portfolio Value $1,091,371.02

Not bad for a small doggie... in a few short weeks, I've made over 9%.

And I wasn't allowed to do any of the really interesting things that, in hindsight, would have made us a fortune. Gold futures are way up, a leveraged future deal, I coulda doubled up.... No ETF's, no nothing... just stocks. 9% on just stocks, which aren't really my bag, is not bad...

I see oil is steady to down, but the gas at my pump keeps rising steadily... hmmm. I think they've realized that they have us, we'll pay anything, because we have to. I was outraged a week ago when I paid $2.80 a gallon for premium for my Eldorado... yesterday I paid $2.89 for the cheap stuff to fill up my Tahoe... yeah. I'm feelin' it... gonna be a motorcycle summer...

Until next time, try and stay warm out there!! If there's really any global warming, I'd say it's main source is the hot air coming out of the proponents of such nonsense...
