When the sad trembling hand of Leon Czolgosz approached,  it shot  the president twice in the abdomen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Very interestingly, there were no light bulbs in the operating room where speedy surgery was conducted on the president.

I was convinced that most of the southern half of the Island was comprised of mountain ranges, the tallest of which occurred a little West of center in the chain. This is the mountain my dream took place on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I woke up very certain that my topographical knowledge of this island could not be correct.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But recently I decided to check.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a6nWu4cjckU/Rq6-PAcmujI/AAAAAAAAAUk/d6ibqnl_XKA/s1600-h/RAM_GUALE.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a6nWu4cjckU/Rq6-PAcmujI/AAAAAAAAAUk/d6ibqnl_XKA/s400/RAM_GUALE.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5093217393629903410" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a6nWu4cjckU/Rq7EVwcmulI/AAAAAAAAAU0/fMUk-LayC0I/s1600-h/800px-Guadalcanal_Topography.png"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a6nWu4cjckU/Rq7EVwcmulI/AAAAAAAAAU0/fMUk-LayC0I/s400/800px-Guadalcanal_Topography.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5093224106663787090" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Horrifying.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I tried to  remember where and when I would have been exposed to the geographical and topographical information that I rehashed in dreaming.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I tried to understand why I would have committed that information to memory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I could not remember and I cannot understand.

I opted to use a real machine to buy my ticket.&lt;br /&gt;And that was no problem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's funny though, there was a man there who had really serious trouble understanding the automated ticket machine dispenser, but later on, I saw him chatting with the person in the video porthole very casually.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/37302027-7218429600365268846?l=scythiancomb.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://scythiancomb.blogspot.com/feeds/7218429600365268846/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=37302027&amp;postID=7218429600365268846' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37302027/posts/default/7218429600365268846'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37302027/posts/default/7218429600365268846'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://scythiancomb.blogspot.com/2007/07/tall-scaffold.html' title='Tall scaffold'/><author><name>Greg</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06115435200042549310</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://userpic.livejournal.com/62581774/13106613'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_a6nWu4cjckU/RpSM3_NaK3I/AAAAAAAAANM/JfWfIWwNonQ/s72-c/Not+yet+trot.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37302027.post-994289318213802208</id><published>2007-07-09T07:37:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2007-07-09T08:20:38.313-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Hungarian Hyperinflation</title><content type='html'>&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.gold-quote.net/TABLE2/gen.php?lang=en"&gt; &lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;noscript&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.gold-quote.net"&gt;To get the gold price, please enable Javascript.&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/noscript&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a6nWu4cjckU/RpIkI_NaK1I/AAAAAAAAAM8/JgKDlW4zB1E/s1600-h/Hunger+Pains.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a6nWu4cjckU/RpIkI_NaK1I/AAAAAAAAAM8/JgKDlW4zB1E/s400/Hunger+Pains.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5085166666079939410" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;It is estimated that the total weight of gold people have mined over the years is around 125 000 tonnes.

In the 1800s most Industrial nations held to a gold standard. The gold standard saw to it that all bank notes produced were backed by gold and could be exchanged at any time for the gold they represented from the issuer of the note.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So far so good.&lt;br /&gt;There was a time when bank notes represented actual stockpiles of commodities.&lt;br /&gt;And if you wanted commodities instead of pieces of paper, you could demand them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now there's fiat money.&lt;br /&gt;I'm still having great difficulty accepting this.&lt;br /&gt;I was always pretty sure money was a very strange concept&lt;br /&gt;but I really had no idea. It seems that fiat currency really has no basis in reality. Its value is absolutely dependent on its own legality. It's a government's promise.  If at any time a people's confidence supporting a legal system backing a fiat currency collapses, so too will the currency. The gold standard got too silly, it just couldn't keep up and ultimately, there just isn't enough of it aboveground to reasonably ensure a complete currency backing. The gold standard has been largely ignored by the world since &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nixon_Shock"&gt;1971&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every nation in the world currently produces fiat currency.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Arbitrarily!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The third type of money  seems to make the littlest sense of all.&lt;br /&gt;I wouldn't dare pretend I understand any underlying principle to it and I'd run from anyone who thought they did. From what I understand, credit money is future money. Banks create it when they're feeling optimistic and approving loans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The most bizarre thing I have discovered is that this particular form of money has vastly overtaken both commodity money and fiat money in terms of abundance and activity in the global economy.

(It must be noted that the forty sixth councilor was also an advertising executive.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so, on January first, or some other date,&lt;br /&gt;Advertisements were rounded up and expelled from the city of São Paulo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This city of 11 million people, one of the largest cities in the world,  is a city without advertising.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For years, the advertisements in São Paulo not only propagated the hyperreal but physically obstructed the real. Billboards stretched across the tops of highway interchanges and advertising agencies would often offer cash settlements to poor homeowners for rights on their gardens or walls. With the advertisements gone, the rusted out structures that formerly housed them now stand as frames for the backgrounds they had masked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The cascading favelas of São Paulo sprawl naked now!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a6nWu4cjckU/Ro2-IfNaKqI/AAAAAAAAALk/TIrsFqT4VDg/s1600-h/favelas.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a6nWu4cjckU/Ro2-IfNaKqI/AAAAAAAAALk/TIrsFqT4VDg/s400/favelas.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5083928607397128866" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A photographer has been taking pictures of São Paulo's&lt;br /&gt;billboard graveyards.

or ibuprofen, something like that, I'm not even sure.&lt;br /&gt;It's there, right off to the left of the sink. They've been there for months.&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes I use them, if I have some mild pain, say, a headache.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But when I get out of the shower, I am not in pain!&lt;br /&gt;This is a great mystery to me.&lt;br /&gt;It's reflexive, it seems!&lt;br /&gt;I don't even realize I'm doing it until my hand is on the bottle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first day it happened, I actually had two in my mouth before I realized I was doing &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;something&lt;/span&gt; I didn't plan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's strange. I normally take time in the shower to plot things out.&lt;br /&gt;To arrange a short term set of motions I will perform while I think about something else.&lt;br /&gt;I usually plan to shave, brush my teeth, take out the garbage, put on the laundry, wash some dishes, close the windows? You know?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is not unusual that I leave the shower and do some things without really thinking about them while doing them. But they're planned in the shower, I've approved them all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I don't even remember thinking about painkillers in the shower.
