Indy 500, commercialism at it’s best

Monday, May 29th, 2006

Yesterday was a slow, relaxing day for me so after CBS Sunday Morning, I decided to watch four hours of advertisments interrupted, albeit briefly, by the Indianapolis 500.
OK, I realize that ABC has to make some money, and yes, the last few minutes of the race was commercial free, but give me a break! If […]

Friday, May 26th, 2006

It’s Friday and already after 9 AM as I write this. I have some posts in progress, but none are finished so let’s have an Open Mic Weekend and see if anyone is listening.
It’s your turn to comment on any subject you want. Maybe it’s the verdict in the Enron case. What do you […]

I’ve been a bad boy!

Thursday, May 25th, 2006

I haven’t blogged anything for over a week! I have been busy with other matters including a new website for one of the local Rotary Clubs (more about this later) and I just got back from a sojourn to Rocky Point (Puerto Penasco) Mexico. I will write something about this later as well.
Hang with me […]

The Federal Reserve and your money

Wednesday, May 10th, 2006

The Federal Reserve raised interest rates for the 16th time in a row today — this time to the highest level in five years. What does that mean for retirees? If your investment portfolio consists of laddered certificates of deposit, look for higher returns in the not too distant future.
…retirees…remember the 1990s when some […]

Forever is a long, long time

Thursday, May 4th, 2006

Another investment choice; postage stamps as a hedge against inflation. Maybe they should call them I-Stamps.
Oh, no, not again.
Yes, again. The U.S. Postal Service, which raised the price of a first-class stamp to 39 cents in January, wants to boost it again — to 42 cents.
But this time, there’s a twist. As early as next […]

Day without Immigrants

Tuesday, May 2nd, 2006

The media has been full of coverage about the turnout yesterday on May Day. Here’s a view of Market Street in San Francisco.
Hundreds of thousands of mostly Hispanic immigrants skipped work and took to the streets Monday, flexing their economic muscle in a nationwide boycott that succeeded in slowing or shutting many farms, factories, markets […]
