All that fuss about the NaughtyAmerican article is dying down now. It's brought a lot of folks to the blog, some of whom have been disgusted by it. I've never been much on appealing to the timid, the mainstream, or the great unwashed, so that's not a huge surprise. On the other hand there are quite a few new subscribers to the RSS feeds. Buy when the streets run with blood. I don't know who said that, but I bumped up my 401K deduction again yesterday believing that each dollar spent in the first half of the year will buy more stuff than the same dollar spent at year's end.
Jury duty coming up. I've never been seated and don't expect to be this time either. As I'm planning a business trip a week later, I'm sort of counting on it. I will cancel the trip if I'm selected.
This model was photographed last month in a motel downtown. I really enjoyed talking with and photographing her.

I don't remember the way I arrived to your blog, but since the first time I liked it, and picked it up to my feeds...
Mature reflections and great pictures, it's a great combination.
i'm totally in love with this girl
Since your last post, I found that I have a chart that lists how much I paid per share for all my transactions so far. Being a new investor, I almost felt sick the other day when I noticed how far my money is going at the current moment compared to how much I was buying a share for in recent months... years. I'm buying at the lowest price I have ever. A bit scary for me watching my investment fall and trying to keep movitated that this is what I need it to do and take as much advantage as I can. Still scary though. lol.
I've never been picked to be seated either, but they've wasted my time on dozens of occassions. I actually could enjoy jury duty, it just comes at the most inconvenient time. If I was nuts like my father, whom believes the government controls the weather (omg)... I'd almost think they do that purposely. If in desperation to get out of it, just start talking about prostitution being a victimless crime. :P lol. I've taken some notes, it would be definitely more creative than the "I believe in capital punishment" myth to get out of serving. *grin*
Oh and my dad wasn't always crazy... says my mom. Clearly I don't remember these days my mom talks about. He's always been eccentric. He's just mega-nuts now that he's retired with nothing to do. I've known crazier people though... like a guy who gets his energy for healing people from a fire hydrant.
It was Meyer Rothschild, one of the scions of the famed Rothschild banking family. The way I heard it was, "When the blood is running in the streets, that is the time to buy!" But the Internetz seem to agree with your version.

If you don't want to sit on a jury, when they ask you this question:
"Can you find in accordance with the law as I instruct you in the law, even if you don't agree with the law?"
Just laugh and say, "Of course not."
You'll be dismissed. You may never be asked to come back again.
