Hyper-inflation or behind door number two a credit freeze. There is no way these folks can thread the needle on this one. It is time to place your bets! Hyper-inflation means Stocks and Metals soar in a crack up boom the likes of which have never been seen. A credit freeze means who ever has the food and fuel wins the day!

Are you still stacking firewood? We had a bad storm this weekend and I am foraging oak and maple tomorrow. Two oak logs for a Silver Maple seems a fair price to me. :)
