Default Re: Panama banana companies dying

John, I knew it was a joke with you ... except maybe on the condition you could use your banana bucks for the purchase . It did seem that lorax took it seriously, though, and I am such a gloomy guy (warning, that's a joke also) I figured I'd offer my forecast of success.

This reminded me almost immediately of a conversation I had with an aunt about 10 years ago. She is one of my father's nine siblings and she made mention of how some day all 28 of us grandchildren would own the farm once owned by my grandparents. I told her that scared me as some of us would probably like to farm it, some would like to develop it to housing, some might want it to be a wildlife preserve. She agreed with me instantly and said the brothers and sisters needed to discuss this right away. They sold the farm a few years ago and I did consider purchasing it, but it would have been a bit of a financial challenge. Today, I wish I had bought it. My wife is my partner and we get along really swell.
