The World Turned Upside Down -> Hungarian immigrant elected President of France. [no opinion here]
Quiz: Whence came the first clause above, "The World Turned Upside Down"?
On Sunday I went to a rifle match at a "sportsman" club where I'm a member, and won first place after no practice for about a year. In fact, my score was 275 out of 300 with 5 X's, which was higher than every score at the club's matchs last year. :-)) Bunkerman is very good with his rifle. ;-)
We finally had a pleasant spring weekend here: no rain, warm, mostly sunny.
I had to waste 10 minutes with a credit card company this morning. A vendor used the wrong expiration date last week & the credit card company's idiotic security systems started rejecting regular payments to online services. Sheesh. If I've charged the same amount on a credit card from the same vendor for many month's you'd think they could figure out it's legit. Banks suck bigtime; greedy pigs.
Well, I'd better hit my charts.
About Me
- Bunkerman
- I have a pioneer mentality. My wife & I live in the woods - neighbors aren't visible except slightly in winter. Our "bunker" - hehe, really a fine home & barn - has plenty of security. We have four dogs: Krypto (age 9, Kelpie), Ava (age 13, Rat Terrier), Sky (Kelpie, age 5) and Lucky Star (age 1, kelpie). I don't take crap from anyone anymore, having enough resources & gear stocked up to survive in any circumstance. I have three degrees from Harvard including a Ph. D. in a physical science, and an MS in Management from MIT. I worked as an investment banker for about 25 years, mainly in secured finance, at three major Wall Street firms and for the last 17 years with my partners at our own firm. I'm semi-retired now, managing some private corporations and business interests and doing my own trading & investing. This is not to boast, but to give you an idea I know a little about some subjects from experience. The photo is my 1943 M16 half-track which I am restoring. These armored vehicles were ubiquitous in the US Army in World War II and Korea. It's driveable.

America moving to the left ....France moving to the right. It sure is a different world.
I guess all flunked the quiz. When the US defeated the British at Yorktown in 1781, the British band played a popular song of the time at the surrender, named ... "The World Turned Upside Down" :-)
