Good Time With Friends...

Here's the slideshow (so far) from our photostream.

A Truck-load of Watermelons and T-bills.

As I was growing up on the farm, my dad joked about a couple of guys who bought a truckload of watermelons for $2 a piece, hauled them across the state-line and sold 'em for $1 each. Poorer than when they started but ever the optimists, the smarter of the two came up with the solution:

"What we need next time is a bigger truck!"

I guess that's why I left the farm and went off to the big city to get a college degree in finance -- so I too could understand Keynesian economics.

But I'm still having trouble explaining it to my dad.

Cell Phones For Seniors

I was asked to do a presentation for senior citizens here in Indy, on the topic of cell phones & GPS. And I wanted to capture some of it to be published to help other seniors too. So Jim (Ackert) and I set out to produce a video on YouTube. [Let me be clear... Jim did all the heavy-lifting on the project.]

Hope you like the outcome...





And here are some other interesting items...

What's Better Than A Flat Tax? My Tax Plan.

Why pay tax at all?

The government can print money, right? So don't tax anyone. Just spend ourselves into oblivion, with no revenue stream.

I'm surprised Presidents Bush nor Obama have thought of this before.

Sound crazy? Maybe not. Stay with me here...

Think about it. Today's April 15th -- NO TAX RETURN TO BE FILED. NO COMPLEXITIES. NO ARGUING OVER WHO PAYS THE MOST OR GETS THE MOST TAX-BREAKS!

Moreover, we can spend to our national hearts content.

Sure, it'll inflate our dollars. *sigh*

But that's only fair. The amount that our dollars shrink in our wallets each night, is our effective tax-rate. Ok?

But the beauty of it is, look at all the holders of our dollars around the world who also will effectively be paying tax too! The Chinese government, no less!

[There's nothing like short-sightedness when it comes to creating great economic 'plans', heh?]

Quick Trip To My Old Kentucky Home

On behalf of my father & mother, I was able to take a day-trip down to near Glasgow KY to see some of my dad's cousins...
