This morning I need to run up to the mountains and be there by 9am. I should be back in Denver before 11 so it’s just a quick trip. Then I need to go to the dermatologist and then run up north to a buddy’s place. I should make it home just in time to go get the kids from school. Jag has baseball from 4 until 6 and Ty has D.I. from 3 until 5. So there you have it, a busy day. Lori will have to leave work in time to pick up Ty so we should all be home a little after 6pm.
It’s in the teens this morning but should get to the mid 50’s. I think (hope) Lori’s head is getting better. I ran a Z Pak (antibiotic) to her at her office yesterday and a few minutes ago she said she feels better. Of course she’s half asleep as it’s 5am but hopefully she is actually feeling better. I also managed to get my haircut and make it to the distributor twice yesterday for a meeting to set new wine prices for April 1st. That’s right, prices are going up! You see, the Euro is not cooperating with the dollar and we need more margin.
Guess I’ll get moving, I’m staying away from politics but understand that what’s going on with Russia and us is not good at all. This could easily escalate out of control to a military confrontation which would be no good for anyone, especially us. But I wouldn’t put anything pass this administration. In fact, throughout history, whenever any government is in trouble economically or politically, they try to find a war to start or join. Let’s pray that cooler heads prevail as we will come out on the short end in any war, militarily or economically, with Russia and its allies including China and others. The main fear is what they can do to the dollar. They can cripple us without firing a single shot if they stop buying or using U.S. currencies. It’s complicated if you don’t understand it but Putin is no dummy and is shrewd and calculated being the former head of the Russian KGB. Many say our President is not even in the same league with this guy and so far, they appear to be right.
I would get some extra food and take some extra cash out of the bank. Warren Buffet and other billionaires are frantically selling off U.S. stocks as I write this and have been doing so for a couple of weeks. What do they know or fear that you don’t? Hold on people, it’s about to get bumpy. Keep your powder dry, God Bless.
