Yesterday, for the first time, I became officially tired of this winter.  I got stuck in an alley with my savanna van with some very good snow tires.  Only problem was, we had an ice storm several months ago and there is a layer of ice under the snow.  I am so old I can remember when the city plowed and salted alleys.  That is no longer true.  They also paid for garbage removal.  That is no longer true.  And the kids received a decent education.  Alas, that is no longer true for the ones that actually make it to high school graduation. It is getting closer to the time to move to warmer pastures. And, as we wait for something to happen here, any that would like to be a part of a lively board that is currently looking at 71 different stocks, but married to none, check out Coffee Shoppe,  here at Investors Hangout.  Also some neat recos on different coffees.  My best to all,  Jim  PS, hey are we about to leave triple 0's?
