Margin Calls, pink sky and Gary arrived in Q

HI chickies,
I freaked when I saw how low gold and silver had dropped. That shows how perfectly self centered I am. A drop in Gold and Silver might indicate an increasing value in the dollar which would be good for everyone in slowing the rise of import prices. But my little bit of money and future are tied up in gold in silver, so I often have a divided, conflicted response to gold going down. Seeking comfort I read through the various posts of my links and saw that Archdruid has a post on just this topic, margin calls. This link goes to the top of his blog, thus is good only for a few days. It is an excellent easy read.

Gary arrived in Q late yesterday afternoon, tired, but all look pretty relaxed and happy to be out of the cold. How cold? We tried to start a fire with his cardboard from his cabinet in the fifth wheel. The paper and cardboard were not damp, but they had been frozen in the closet until they drove south three days ago. Erika tried to light the paper for about five minutes. I went and got a single piece of Q paper, and it burst into flame. That's how cold, even cardboard won't unfreeze.

I moved over to the 14 day free area and choose a flat spot for the work that Gary needs to do - putting his solar panels back up on the roof. Perhaps, if I'm not too lazy, and I'm very lazy after the packing La Casa Blanca and moving over here, I might get off my ass and take some pictures.
