too hot and dry in the Midwest

It's quite terrible today in the Midwest, that's for sure.

Not to go into fear mongering, but I came across the commodities futures charts for Septemeber last night, and Corn, Soybeans, and Wheat have skyrocketed due to this unprecedented drought. Since about 90% of what we consume (food and common products) contains one or more of the above, it would be wise to start stocking up right about now.

You think food prices are high now? (which they are) - just wait! Could be some real scary stuff, potentially.

Anyway, back to the A/C, where all of us in the Midwest belong right now!

The corn chart has gone parabolic.....would have been a nice trade to get in on. That was some good bank right there in the last month.

I have been out in the sun,working hard, all of my life, now after 30 years I have developed a heat intolerance disorder that could be fatal...New research finds that an individual has a "bank" that reflects the proper working of an alliance of internal organs. This bank gets withdrawn from over the years depending on heat exposure and exertion. The sign that you are "broke" is when you get weak and disoriented despite the amount of water you drink/rest...you must get into a cooler environment..fast or you go to heat stroke. That is why they used to find farmers dead in the old open tractors in the middle of the field ( AC tractors are the norm now since lost farmers are in their 60's plus). Hot weather is good for stripping insulated #2 wire..small consolation....So be careful!!!
