#1 Yesterday I bought 40 lb. of dehydrated cow manure at a local garden store, to mix into the topsoil of my vegetable garden. 40 lb. cost $4.99 plus tax! It used to cost about $1.50. Tomorrow is an Election Day!

#3 Inflation stats as a whole mean little compared to the breakdown of what is inflating.

" Energy and food costs rose 18.7 percent against March 2009, up almost four percentage points compared with February. Without food and energy spending the inflation level remained stable at 1.3 percent."

#4 you will get your manure money back plus some this sumer when veggies, melons, and grains go through the roof because of the $5 gas. There is serious gardening being done out here in fly over. It is like the carter years, also availability of good canning equipment is becoming scarce including bands, flats, and jars.

#8 Look at the bright side, great bond buying opportunities are soon to be upon us. Just be sure to start saving now, cuz you won't be able to afford once they're on sale.
