I think it was 2012. The Tigers were in the playoffs and I had to go to a wedding. Girlfriends daughter was the MOO.

Yea, something like that. Her and her husband are both lawyers and I've always wondered how they got so much stupid in only two bodies. The are the poster children for people with book smarts and zero street smarts.

LOL - I just figured this out two days later.  MOO should have been MOH - Duh! Still didn't catch it the second time. This is what happens when you get old and stupid(er).

On the Silver trade;

Don't really know the guy above but that caught my eye. From CNBC:

Gold, silver prices fall after CME raises precious metals margins — again

Silver get smacked around a bit this week.

I’m getting ads for something that lets me bet on the weather.  Glad my dad wasn’t around for this one. They’d have gotten him on that I’m sure.   His trick was “watch WGN… Chicago’s weather today is ours tomorrow.  Plus they show more killings on their news. Coleman Young made them stop showing them here”

Numbers on the chart in this story don't seem to tell a consistent story. They do indicate that capital/wafer is roughly double in the US, which is bad enough,  but it's quite unclear how they get from 100% more capital cost to 700% more depreciation cost/wafer. Unless what they are capturing is a difference in depreciation schedules between Taiwan and the US. If true that would have been worth noting.
