One the same day my daddy died and the other on Friday the thirteenth. I'm not sure how I'm going to get over it. If I will.

"Speculative" is definately how the U.S. dollar may be regarded soon. Every thing else is and that includes reality. It's like the world is being turned upside down but primarily for the purpose of emptying pockets.

I'm afraid of being paralyzed by shock and unable to react sensibly. Especially when everything is so uncertain. Uncertainty is destabilizing in itself.
