Amsterdam:

An experience this morning, in Romeoville...

I am addicted to Frappuccinos, ( a cold coffee drink)I buy one every morning from the gas station.

The worker, has a bet going with some dumb bookie, who takes bets on politics ...ie, Who is going to win the so called race.

He bet $1000, but before he did he asked me, who do I think is going to win?

I told him the CFR picks, not the people.
They picked Hillary.

So he bet on Hillary.

Now every morning, he says...
Hows our girl doing?

Today I said:

You know, there was happy slaves.
They would sing in the field, and pick cotton.

Sure, they got beat up for dropping eggs...
But, the ones in the field would say...

You can cry, or you can sing.

A black man was behind me in line,
(I am white/Reddish)

The worker thought I was gonna get beat.

The man behind me said....

You sound just like my room mate in Houston.
MAN!!!!
Am I Glad YOU People are Still Around.

Just thought I would share the experience .

Amsterdam:

-Talking with a friend.

I've been trading silver and gold my whole life.
I consider them my children.

I got out the day a saw someone popping a $5000 bottle of booze, to celebrate pushing the price down 10% in one day.

I knew at the other side of that trade, there is a miner , his family, and businesses all around the world that would suffer.

It was that day I knew in my soul...
I can't be one of them.

    Amsterdam: It's what a friend, said to me. I still work for a living. But yes he is happier now,
    and more like you.

    Time tells all...
    like when in an accident ,
    or like when you fall,
    like having a child,
    Like loosing it all...

    Time seems to stop.
    Hearts seem to thaw .

    Thanks for stopping by.
