Yesterday was my annual trip to Chicago. It was good, the only annoyance was that they no longer allow the riff-raff in to the viewing galleries of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. It's all part of the grand theater known as "heightened security." Ummm-hmm. Yeaaahhhh. How are we supposed to marvel at the chaotic craziness driving the markets now? Listening to the farm report is just NOT the same...

I did get to hear some traders talking about how they made $1.5M the day before though... all for the company, alas.

My own work has just been crazy busy, hence my absence here...

Happy happy fall day... But it's not autumn! Hmm? Akibare is a state of mind, the feeling when you wake up on a crisp, fall day, the leaves are backlit shining yellow and orange against the blue sky, it's sweater weather, and you can do anything, absolutely anything at all...
