So Here's The Plan For Buying Bullion & Ammo...

 ...as time goes by. I plan to buy gold every month after I pay my monthly bills. Not much, just what I can afford that month so either a 1/4 ounce coin or a 1/10 ounce coin will be the likely monthly purchase. I may buy silver in place of that but that probably then would be a tube of 25 coins. As for ammo, I will buy about two to four boxes per month unless funds allow for more. If I can only afford one of either bullion or ammo, I very likely will forego the ammo in favor of gold or silver depending how I feel at the moment (I have a good amount of ammo but not enough bullion).

 

If you are short on either, I recommend doing something similar to my plan. I think tougher times are coming - much tougher times than we have lived through in most of our lifetimes and those commodities may help you get through them. How I wish I had bought Rhodium and or Paladium five years ago when either was way down in price as compared to now. Just an ounce of Rhodium at $790.00 per ounce five years ago could have grossed $27,000.00 last April or thereabouts! That is an increase over 34 times its price within 5 years! I had considered buying it at the time but wimped out - shame on me. 

 

So now, at least I plan to buy at least a bit of security each month. I in no way expect either gold or silver (or for that matter brass, copper & lead) to increase anywhere near a spike like that, in fact they may decrease but either way - up or down - if a fiscal crisis comes about and we become the Venezuela of the north - I will have security to some small degree.

Damn - Another Unavoidable Firearms Auction...

 ...is coming to us all via the Internet this weekend. Well, at least the allure of its Siren's song is unavoidable for me. I'd break the mast and swim rough seas to get to its shoreline. If interested, check out the Hessney Auction Company's Sportsman Auction. They are offering some nice guns and lots of ammo among other items. Many, if not most lots, already have bids placing them putting them out of my financial reach but there are some I'll still bid on. 

 

There is one on which, if it is in good condition, I will likely overbid. I want it for my collection. Hopefully few others if any will want it and try to outbid me. While it's not that I mistrust any of my readers, I am not telling you which one is that lot. Truth is, I trust you all enough to realize someone else of you would want it too.

All the best,

Sometimes I Feel Like Asking Questions...

...pretty much questions a lot like these.  I feel that way today.  

 

At least I get that way when a wave of nostalgia sweeps over me.

Now, if you don't like Gordon Lightfoot's voice, how about this version by the Irish Rovers: 

Not like the Irish Rovers' style, then how about this version by Gerry Guthrie: 

One more, I listened to em all just now and figured I let you do likewise. This one is by the Just Cause Bluegrass Band:

I like them all but in the order that I placed them above, Lightfoot's version is the best as I listen to them but the Irish Rovers' version is not far behind. I have to say though, even though the one at the bottom of my list is my least favorite (yet I do like it) there is a twist to that. It is at the bottom because it is sung lackluster in my opinion; yet, that music - the banjo and especially that fiddle are heavenly (that sure looks to be a fiddle that has been well played lots of times over many years). I miss the Bluegrass fiddle competitions I saw in NY state and in Hartford, CT. In Hartford, they were held in a city park when I was there for Grateful Dead concerts; they had a fiddle contest on both of the occasions of me being there for the Dead shows.

Can We Cancel Neil Young Please

 In my younger days, I used to like Neil Young songs. Really I did like his music; thus I maybe should find it odd - I never put him into my station on Pandora.com. The thing is: I have never liked some things about him, such as: I consider him to be overly opinionated, often anti-USA, piece of shit from Canada who seemingly thinks his own poop smells like roses and who also believes his useless opinion should have some effect on how I and others should think when he lambastes our country, our rights or our citizens.  

 

As the saying goes, I do not know Joe Rogan from a hole in the wall (I was truly ignorant of his stance on things until just recently when this mess started up). Neil Young is trying to sway me and the rest of our country (especially the twits at Twitter) into canceling Joe Rogan's use of Spotify. Even if I had had Young's music on my Pandora station, I would have removed it by now if Young, whom I consider to be an old, withered, wannabe famous again whining loser, had been included in it.

 

Screw Neil Young and the whole group of cancel culture musicians who are removing or threatening to remove their music from Spotify (more at the source) and screw Spotify if they buckle under, which I do not think they have done - at least not yet, bless them if they don't.

All the best,
