Spare a prayer for fellow blogger Stilton Jarlsberg and his wife
I’m sure many of my readers are familiar with the blog of “Stilton Jarlsberg”, who sheds illuminating (and very amusing) light on current events.

Regular blogging will resume (God… Continue reading On the road again

The best summary of inflation reality that I’ve yet read
If you’re still not sure why inflation is bad, or what it’s doing to the value of your money, you need to click over to Aesop’s place and read his brutally acerbic article “Economics 101: Inflation“.
