At about the time you wrote this last night, my husband and I watched BBC
America News, to get another opinion. That's when we heard. There was
nothing on the PBS News hour. Looks like these sneaky deals get done on the
weekend or late at night.
AIG went from needing 20B to 40B to 85B in 48 hours.

I have this urge to buy more bulk food whenever I leave the house, to
freshen up my seed supply, get back in the poultry business (just a few for
eggs). Maybe this time around I'll get tough and learn to kill them for
meat.

When I was younger I thought it would be cool to live like The Waltons or
the Ingalls family in the Little House in the Prairie books/tv show. Be
careful what you wish/ask for.
