The Memsahib had a serious mishap here at the Rawles Ranch and will require surgery. We've chalked it up to being part of life, living and working with horses. We would appreciate your prayers. OBTW, because of her surgery I may be a bit sporadic about making SurvivalBlog posts for a few days, starting either Friday or Saturday. Thanks for your patience.
Will
there
be more bank failures and bank runs? You
betcha. IndyMac
was just the first big one. (And it was, in fact, the second largest bank failure
in US history.) I have been warning about the threat of bank runs in SurvivalBlog
for nearly a year. As I've said before, the FDIC--backed
by the "full
faith and credit..." will make good on their promises, but it may take
up to six months before all of the depositors of the failed banks get their
insurance checks.
Today is the last day in
