Money and Other Subjects

Find Me, Mine Me, Grind Me (And Sell Me to the Chinese)

August 14, 2007March 8, 2017

I know I owe you your Galbraith and SiCKO responses, but editing them has eluded me because I’m in Cleveland, and there’s just too much going on.

Meanwhile . . .

THE CHUMBYs ARE COMING

You heard it here first. A moderately expensive way to make your college sophomore think you’re cool. When was the last time you knew about a tech gadget before she did? Can you spell C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S? (For me, it will be Hanukkah if Chumbys catch on, because I’m in the venture fund that’s backing them.)

MORE PROGRESS FROM THE FRIGID NORTH

If you own BOREF, you may be pleased with this. ‘Results indicate that fine grinding and magnetic separation can produce a high grade concentrate averaging greater than 67% Fe.’ That’s not ‘Fe’ as in ‘Feh! Feh!’ by the way, it’s the symbol for Iron. And the release goes on to say that our ore is relatively soft, which makes grinding it less expensive. All this may prove to be fanciful for some reason, but what is life without a little fantasy?

[Really. Not only does Cleveland rock, but our Democratic field organizers have come to town to sharpen their skills. As Ohio goes . . . ]
