Alex, thanks for the Moggy update. Wishing her the best and hope her internet is returned soon !

Trump laid it down to  a room full of socialist globalist scumbags. I am surprised they did not hiss and boo his speech. Probably not taken to heart but by a few, but they have no doubt where Trump stands. A far cry from the Obama days when ‘O’man bowed, apologized for everything American, and delivered wet noodle speeches, and stood with his Muslim Brotherhood buddies like Iran.

Go Trump ! Go We The People !  Go Gold !

🙂

yes, that is a treefrog making coffee at the edge of the “goosenecks” – an entrenched meander of the san juan river near mexican hat, utah.  i’ve never been able to get a good pic of the goosenecks.  as a photographer i’m a dud.  here’s a gallery of goosenecks pics by folks who know how to hold a camera.

New Study Finds Fluoride Exposure Correlated To Lower IQ

Mining reforms in Brazil are raising the cost of operating without generating increased interest in investing in the sector, an executive for world’s largest iron ore producer Vale said on Monday.

Brazil President Michel Temer issued decrees in July to boost mining royalties, create a new industry regulator and streamline regulations, arguing that efficient and transparent rules would bring in more investment.

That has not been the case, said Clovis Torres, an executive director for Vale who oversees legal issues and human resources.

“If it was already difficult to attract external investment for mining, the outlook became even more cloudy (after the reforms),” Torres told an industry conference.

The decrees must be confirmed by Congress by a November deadline to become permanent and could be subject to amendments.

Torres said miners were in part frustrated that the reforms were announced by decree, a move that limited public discussion.

Brazil has lost ground to Australia in iron ore production because it can take more than 10 years to get a license for a new mine, he said.

The country must cut red tape in order to attract junior mining companies that are key to developing the sector, Torres said.

“Vale has gone years without opening a new mine because we can’t get a license … how is a junior company going to wait for years?” he said.

Mining and Energy Minister Fernando Coelho Filho specifically mentioned the 10-year wait time when the reforms were launched and vowed that the new regulations would speed up the process.

FULL SPEECH: Trump addresses world problems at the 72nd UN General Assembly

I seriously doubt whether Trump is going to choose any “Hawks” whose inclinations may threaten the stock market rally. It’s Easy Money as far as the eye can see …

“We Are In A State Of Siege”: Spanish Police Arrest Top Catalan Officials In Referendum Raids

If Catalonia breaks free, then what is left of Spain is flat broke yesterday and it’s debts will never be paid…hence the hard line, which will go down like a cup of cold sick for all the very many, who have enough of the likes of Junker, lording it over us….

Canceling democracy, was always going to be the only way the EU could try and hold on…and here it comes.

Scum no doubt just sitting on pm’s as is the norm.

FWIW, I’d almost like to see gold flat to down prior to the Fed announcement, but I know nothing…

There is no end to the knowledge one can gain from reading the Oasis. Thanks to you both for being here so faithfully. ;o)

Oil on pace for best % gains since Q3 of 2004. Why?

JMHO but oil might just be starting to tell us what’s going to happen with the USD

It has one of the lowest disaster ratings in the contiguous US according to something I saw recently. Maybe you posted it …???

I too , agree about snow , and NEVER wish to see -45 on the window thermometer again. Where I was born ( Kirkland Lake …yes THAT Kirkland Lake of gold fame ) and another area that I lived in for five years , hospitals fill up in Feb. and March with folks who get ‘cabin fever’ from being cooped up inside for months during very short daylight hours.

Also ‘ You don’t have to shovel rain !’

Yes I know the newt is a lizard but is also a type of mustard seed. Today people take these words literally. The Shakespeare they brought up use these terms like newt, bats, dogs tongues which aren’t really literal bats or dogs but Houndstongue Cynoglossum officinale. Hocus Pocus 🙂

I think treefrog may be jealous of all the things Oklahoma has offer. We used to brag that we had about every natural disaster available except tidal waves, earthquakes, and volcanoes. One down, two to go!

Not that it matters, but if you move to southeastern Oklahoma, you will be in the Ouachita mountains.(pronounced Wichita) Ozarks are in northeastern Oklahoma. If you want to join the last of the moonshiners or their children who raise pot, the Winding Stair mountains are waiting for you. Just don’t get off paved roads until after the first hard freeze!

rno

Newt is a type of Salamander that lives primarily in the water.  If it’s also a seed it’s news to me. LOL!!!
