Washington Slept Here

I like when I go through historical places. What I found really was the mattress in the bed. These beds seem really small. I saw one that I did not think looked rather not comfey.

Of course after watching the John Adams miniseries, I was amazed at how nice people were to each other. There was dignity that I would love to see again. A certain amount of formality.

Have a happy day

A Good Find

As life turns one of my aunts has an old and quite antique baby cribs in her old storage.

Since I am to a degree an authority on 'old' stuff, I was called in and low and behold she has a French Crib that must be 200 years old. Give or take a little.

I was rather amazed at the item. Now she wants to get it authenticated and is talking about going to the Antique Road Show. Of course I suggested that as I am not a real expert on old things. just tracking them down.

Of course I was hoping for papers.

Expensive Things

I was talking with a friend about here expenses in where she lives. And I was amazed. She pays through the nose for rent. She also complained about her cost of car insurance in CA. She is over 40 with a clean driving record. She pays nearly 3x as much as I do.

Kind of a wierd thing. I am always amazed at how much things cost in CA.

Keeping It Safe

Well as the Swiss savings account era seems to be coming to an end, I am thinking we are going to find some fun info out in the next decade.

With all the talk of Nazi gold and other bad boys hiding money there, the EU us really trying to break up the Swiss accounts.

Now the people in the US are going to other areas to get the money. Of course that does seem better, as the bahams are much nicer and much closer.

In the Past

One of the great things I like about history is the looking back at historical events through games.


I enjoy having WWII simulations, my personal favorite is V For Victory. It is an older game, however it is a good turn based simulation.


Have a great day.

The Battle

history as we know, is written by the victors. There seldom matters how much good one side is or is not. The old saying of he who dies with the most toys or St. Barts villa rentals wins.

I am already trying to analyze th RIAA losses in the courts.

I will not buy anything by the big labels. Recently I have got hooked on some indie arists. Let me tell you there is something for everyone out there. And buying indie work actually helps the artist and not the big labels.

Going out.

I am still wanting to pack my luggage and to go somewhere really fun and cool.

Of course while think of Jamestown or some other revolutionary war site, my other half would rather go somewhere closer.

However, going somewhere else seems kinda boring.

Well hope you have a happy day.

A Small Part

I have been looking at the idea of fractional ownership in relation to businesses. Think about it for a moment.


With people being able to buy stocks in companies and receiving an ownership of a small portion of the company. This gives people a vested intrest in the company.

Well I hope that you avail yourself of the items and buy a small part of the company.

As an example most likely if you have a mutual fund somewhere, you own most of the big oil companies.
