Yeah. I know all that.

And just when I thought buying those "Forever Stamps" or whatever they are called would give me the best ROI out there right now. Oh well. I'm always on some econ recon mission. I will have to find an investment replacement for those stamps.

So......

Wave goodbye to the junk mail and come ons.

Wave goodbye to the nice lady driving the funny little truck. Wave goodbye to the guy in those most unattractive shorts.

Watch them wave goodbye to their jobs, to their health care coverage.

Who will pay that replacement cost????

I will spare you a big long story this morning. But I do have to throw an allusion up here on this screen.

Remember The Hydra, a monster, from mythology. Hercules had to cut off its head. A seemingly impossible task. Cut off The Hydra's head and two grew back in its place. Cut off both of those. Get four heads. Then eight. You get the picture.

Where is Hercules when you need him? He knew what to do.

Of course, another of Herc's tasks was to clean out the Augean Stables. Those stables had never been cleaned. All full of years and years of you-know-what. I cannot help but draw an analogy to Congress. Herc had to change the courses of two rivers to get that stable cleaning job done. But, now, he would be in trouble for being so ungreen.

(Forgive me. I am snowed and iced in here in Cincinnati. I am starting to sound like some kind of English major. Leaping from the PO to Ancient Greece. I hope Tony does not see this.)
