Boats are a great investment for a family because it s a way to
socialize and spend time together, says Ellen Hopkins, a spokes woman
for Discover Boating. A lot of my friends who grew up boating said
that one of their best memories was going out with their dads on
Sundays and fishing it s a unique way to bond. It s like a
minivacation, even just being on a kayak on the water.

Yeah, beats driving 120 miles to 6 flags and paying $50 bucks each to
get in then end up standing on hot asphalt waiting an hr to ride some
whirlie-gig and eat $5.00 hotdogs....

Those $5.00 dogs will kill you, sooner or later!

I was chatting with some old friends about an amusement park with lots
of rides we used to frequent as kids. The park had no admission fee, and
all rides were 25 cents, and you could buy a lobster roll...a buttered
hot dog bun filled with real lobster meat, overfilled, really, for fifty
cents. Hot dogs were ten cents. Oh, and gasoline for our outboards was
.19 a gallon.

Obviously, it all went wrong somewhere.

Might get worse..I was watching a program called 'Decoded' and they
were trying to investigate whether there is any gold left in Fort
Knox.
If the word got out that it's empty.... who knows what would happen to
the 'merican greenback.
BTW they claim that no civilian has actually seen the gold since 1974
when a Congressional group insisted on seeing what was in there.

There isn't that much. Last I checked it was only a few hundred billion.

Already fallen 40_% against the Yuan in the last 6 years, and
accelerating b the looks of it.

Money is like stock, the more you print the less each share is worth.
Bernanke is printing (electronic counterfeiting) new dollars faster than
Americans consume sheets of toilet paper.

At some point you might use a USD as toilet paper.

Wouldn't be the first time government misplaced a few hundred billion.
