Does anyone else remember the South Sea Bubble? Could the Chinese debacle lead to another stock market crash? Remember who it is that owns much of America's trillion dollar war debts. Asiatic Bears are racing down Wall St and the world markets are catching avian flu. On Bay St in Toronto last week after overnight freezing rain investors had an opportunity to be hit by falling sheets of ice. A good excuse for the economy to go underground.
In Nanticoke a refinery fire has Southern Ontario drivers scrambling to pay through the nose for over-priced gasoline. For once it's cheaper in Nova Scotia where I spent last week.
Over the weekend there was a total eclipse of the moon.
This morning I have a perfectly good excuse for not doing my laundry—the water has been off since midnight. The poor workmen have been at it out on the street since mid-evening Sunday. This also means our hot water will not have a chance to recover all day today. So far the natural gas seems to be flowing to my furnace and electricity is coursing through my aluminum wiring. Despite the lack of water I figured not brushing my teeth this morning just wouldn't wash—Ha! Ha!
Luckily I'd already washed my leather boots of the salt they collected walking about in Halifax. First the washing; then black leather dye—to be used in well-ventilated areas—guess it wouldn't freeze outside but I would. Then leather lotion—shake well before using; normal shoe polish does not work well on oiled leather. This morning I'll give them the final treatment with Waterstop. Take care of your boots and they'll take care of your feet.
Not sure if any of these issues are related but they're what's on my mind this morning.
