Been so tied up in playing with the Beta Site that I forget not everyone really cares about that. What about the other day-to-day minutiae of survivalism?

Picked this up yesterday:

Its a 1 oz. gold Maple from one of the worlds last exporters of asbestos, acid rain, Biebers, and illegitimate children of Fidel Castro.

I sold a goodly chunk of precious metals last year and never really got back into the habit of regular purchasing to bring my stockpile back up. I very much need to change that. The way the economy of this country (which tends to defacto be the world’s economy) is going I really need to be bumping my silver and gold levels back up. So, when my buddy at the coin shop said he’d sell me this Maple at spot, I said sure. This particular specimen had a ding or two and some scratches. But…it’s still a solid ounce of the stuff that dreams are made of.

In addition to hedging my bets against inflation and whatever else the world has to throw at me, this will also come in handy if any of the neighboring properties to mine come up for sale. And until that time, I feel a lot calmer and secure knowing I’ve got precious metals sitting on the shelf ‘just in case’. So..back to the old buying habits.
