well, i bought $1273 worth of silver this week.  from a broker up in minneapolis.  why?  i have NO idea.  i was talking to theresa and she mentioned it, and the next thing i knew i bought this 100 ounces of silver.  gonna get 1000 dimes.  mercury dimes if that matters.  anyway, we're having summertime temperatures.  been hot in the 80's this week.  hopefully it'll cool down by the weekend.  its good friday, and i spent all afternoon at the hospital, getting a sonicgram for my right leg.  just in case there would have been a clot, didn't want to chance that.  but good news, its not a clot.  however, i never did get a clear diagnosis on what it is.  anyway, thought i should write in here.  and keep things going.
