Ferfal has his finger on the truth and doing things right.

He is both correct and a good writer.

It is difficult to know what you need.

I agree with him, he has all his ducks in a row.

Yes. His blog is very well written and full of good information. Many of the events in Argentina are frighteningly like those here in the US. The fact that private debt was put on the US taxpayer is terribly wrong, and it will destroy us. No country can have that much debt and survive. He said the banks will do whatever they have to, to survive at everyone else's expense. We didn't have to wait for the IMF to come here and offer money to the politicians to get them to take on massive debt - our own banks did it to us. And the Congress egged it on and accepted it gleefully!

The IOUSA was pretty well done, too. Very sobering picture of what will happen when the Baby Boomers retire. Many will keep working, I hope. I don't know. It's not a good picture.

Weirdest thing that happened to me yet on the road…

The “EDC” and “10 things you would have done differently” posts are taking a bit longer than expected, but something happened the other day and wanted to tell you guys and girls about it.

The day before yesterday I was driving through General Paz highway. About 4 PM, not a lot of traffic but still several cars around.

Minding my own business as usual when suddenly the car in front of mine starts slowing down (little red flag in the brain went up), and from the front passenger’s window a guy pulls most of his torso out of the window and points towards me with something in his hand, at first I thought it was a weapon, but instantly recognized the deodorant kind of bottle shape that protruded from below. He started spraying my windshield with foam! The instinctive thing to do would be to hit the brakes, but given the speed and cars near by, it would have been a big mistake.

I already had my gun out, so I went right and got close to the AH, pointed the gun to his face. (AC doesn’t work so the window was down) He made the usual “entire life flashes before your eyes” face people put when you do that, eyes opened wide, combination of stupidity and surprise look. He started shouting something to the driver. They immediately slowed down and disappeared, didn’t see them again. I don’t know if they wanted to carjack me, or just cause an accident, but being cautious always worked out for me.

Just wanted to share that because I thought it was pretty weird. People here sometimes get robbed after they throw stones into the windshield, but this is the first time I saw this foam thing being used in such a way.
