Things are good. Work has been very busy, but in a good way. There aren't many companies that have been able to expand as much as we have in the current economic climate. Lots of new opportunities, but lots of work to do it.

Otherwise fireflykiwi and I have just been attempting to plan a summer of trips. Her family wants her up in April for a week (a ( Read more... )

TIME looks at the Texas Caucus

The synopsis - Obama leads, but 59% of the state hasn't been counted. And then the lawsuits will start because people are stupid. We don't know what the results are, and won't for months to come. Hell, we might never know.

Knowing about the huge rise in copper theft over the last year, do we expect the same to begin with gold?  I foresee a lot of gold theft in the coming months.  $1000 per ounce will do that.

Report on the radio this morning:

Though caucus numbers are still coming in, if current percentages hold up Obama will take home 3-4 more delegates from Texas than Clinton.  In the best case scenario for Clinton, it will be a tie for Texas in delegate numbers.  Democracy at work for ya.
