Suitable Gifts:
Best not to attempt to give me anything as I am extremely fussy
and have strange tastes. But I will take any sharp or deadly object, interesting beer, single-malt scotch, sake, dark rum (dry, ie: not Captain Morgan), and ammo in 9mm, 10mm, 45 cal, and 5.56 NATO. Also silver and gold bullion or coins.
Christmas gifts:
Please don't. I dislike useless ornaments. And I do not wish to be party to the giving and receiving of unwanted and unneeded objects out of a sense of seasonal obligation.
Future predictions:
Gold will go up. The dollar will go down, and the Euro will be the new world currency. The middle east will be in conflict for awhile yet, until a false peace treaty is signed with Israel. China will rise in power. Europe will rise in power. The United States will not be the world power it once was. Israel will find oil. The dead sea will be divided in two. There will be a nuclear exchange in the world sometime within the next 80 years. Jesus Christ will return.
