Advice from the Cable Guy .....
Everyone concentrates on the problems we're having in Our Country lately:
Illegal immigration, hurricane recovery, alligators attacking people in Florida... Not me -- I concentrate on solutions for the problems -- it's a win-win situation.
Dig a moat the length of the Mexican border. Send the dirt to New Orleans to raise the level of the levees. Put the Florida alligators in the moat along the Mexican border.
Any other problems you would like for me to solve today?
Think about this:
1. Cows
2. The Constitution
3. The Ten Commandments
COWS:
Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing, that during the mad cow epidemic, our government could track a single cow, born in Canada almost three years ago - right to the stall where she slept - in the state of Washington? And, they tracked her calves to their stalls.But they are unable to locate 11 million illegal aliens
wandering around our country. Maybe we should give each of them a cow.
THE CONSTITUTION:
They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for Iraq. Why don't we just give them ours? It was written by a lot of really smart guys, it has worked for over 200 years, and we're not using it anymore.
THE 10 COMMANDMENTS:
The real reason that we can't have the Ten Commandments posted in a courthouse is this: you cannot post 'Thou Shalt Not Steal', 'Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery' and 'Thou Shall Not Lie' in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians; it creates a hostile work environment!

Baltic Dry Index vs Gold - May 2011 to February 2012 (chart)
The Baltic Dry Index signals current global growth trends. It is one of the purest leading indicators of economic activity. It measures the demand to move raw materials and precursors to production, as well as the supply of ships available to move those cargoes.
The BDI is a daily average of prices representing the cost paid by end customers to have a shipping company transport raw materials across seas on the Baltic Exchange, the global marketplace for brokering shipping contracts. The index is quoted every working day at 1300 London time.
The world's largest freight shipping terminal is the Port of Shanghai (China). Lloyd's List (London) reports that container traffic through Shanghai fell by 100,000 boxes (four per cent) between January 2011 and January 2012. During this period, Shanghai shipping volumes decreased by over one million tonnes. More here (06.02.12).
