I know for a fact that I did not eat anything weird last night, and yet…weird dreams.
I dreamt (hmm… spellcheck does not like that word) that I was in some sort of post-apocalyptic Spokane or Seattle and I was running around trying to avoid desperate scavengers. I was armed with only a .22 slamfire pipegun and a knife I’d carved out of a piece of polycarbonite. This was a dream where I literally would have been better off with a HiPoint and a Made In Pakistan folder from the fishbowl next to the register at Harbor Freight. Fortunately, I’ve spent more than half my life making sure that I don’t have to rely on a pipe gun and cheap folder.

I had a discussion with someone last night that lead to this headscratcher: if dogs could talk, what would their political affiliation be? I figured that because they’re all about pleasing other people and making other people happy they would be democrats, and with the whole ‘pack’ nature perhaps a little socialist as well. But, another person opined that dogs are loyal, willing to protect their loved ones at all costs, and put their own group before others…therefore they might actually be conservatives. What say the internet? (Cats, I suspect, are simply amoral nihlists.)

I’ve officially finished off pretty much everything on the Preponomicon that can be had at CostCo. Now it’s strictly Walmart stuff. The shelves are full, but there’s always room for more and no one really knows what the future looks like at this point.

College classes here are supposed to start August 19 but I wonder if the university is going to do it. Fact is, they can’t afford to do this distance learning stuff. Their budgets are predicated on revenue from dorm lodgings, food service, providing athletic services, etc, etc. Campus is empty but they still gotta do maintenance on buildings, maintain infrastructure, pay staff, etc. But woe to the administrator that signs off on face-to-face classes, spreads the Wuhan Flu, and then has to face the ‘profits were more important than students health’ witch hunt. I’m very curious to see what happens.

Premiums on silver have finally come down. They were an outrageous $3.50-$4 per ounce for generic rounds a few weeks back. Now we’re into a more reasonable, but still annoying, $2 premium. As an aside, I finally found ‘tubes’ for the 1 oz. silver bars. Every idiot sells the tubes for rounds, but finding the tubes for bars took a bit of time. The 1 oz. bars seem to get me a better price once in a while because, apparently, people don’t like the inconvenience of not having a way to store them neatly like you do with rounds. Whatever, man…1 oz. of silver is 1 oz. of silver no matter what shape it is. If I can get it cheaper as a bar than as a round, so be it.
Did you mean it was $35-$40 a ounce and is now back to about $20 an ounce?
No.
Spellchecker gives me Hell to, it absolutely declines slang. I have to go back and read everything I wrote to make sure it didn’t change anything.
The premiums on Ag have been ridiculous, Au fractionals have actually been a better deal and that’s what I’ve been losing at the bottom of the stock pond…Either way, it’s gonna come in handy.

eBay is best imho for silver. And I prefer eagles or actual currency because of the intricacies in the design and coin face . Keep up the work dude. I pray for you
IMHO, it’s way to easy to wind up with Chinese fakes off of eBay. The guy at the local coin shop has a tester that he is willing to use to test anything before I purchase. Additionally, for generics I usually get the Sunshines for their anti-counterfeiting designs. For minted coins, I like Maples for the same reason.
Canadian mint has been caught selling fakes,can’t be trusted.
Well Uncas, don’t feel like the last of the Mohicans. Our exteasensory input is all fouled up with what’s gulping on. I took abnormal psychology in college as part of the CJ practurm.
I have been having the same issue. Dreams out of nowhere being triggered by who knows what. Normally I wake up wondering where in the hell that one came from. Even blue Tylenol doesn’t help.
Vicogin.
Mix vicodin and gin. Gets you to sleep and no Bad Dreams. If you fold some lorazapam into it however you will not be able to stand up.

I wonder what Hunter S. Thompson would have recommended?
Bushmills Irish would be better than that English foot wash. Never did like gin.
Whiskey in the winter, gin in the summer. Smoking a cigar provides the exception to the summer rule.
Don’t get me started on cigars. Many moons ago I was in a period of high tobacco consumption. 15 cigars a day and two packs of cigarettes. I finally gave them up. I do like a cigar though. But my last day of smoking was Nov 14, 1997. The day before deer season opened. So 23 years and counting this November
Dogs will vote as their pack leader votes, cuz loyalty.
Except for the pseudodogs like the little yapyap things. They are too stupid to do anything at all.
Thanks for seeding my subconscious yesterday. Guess who got the Hi-Point and then a .38 with a 8in barrel? Mine was more airport setting-ish.
