Apmex Morning Gold & Silver Market Report -- 7/12/2011

A great gift for her are these pants made for chainsaw users.

In case of an accident, they catch the blade and stall the saw--instantly. I saw them worn at a Paul Bunyan show. One guy told of doing a speed carving and letting his attention drift for a second. Brought the saw down across his leg, which normally means the leg would have to be reattached. The chain travelled ¼" before snagging. Pants were kinda useless after that, but he only needed a first aid kit.

IIRC, they were about $50.

It seems every time it rains or blows, the par goes out, at least long enough to reset the nincompute and clocks, maybe an hour os so.

My brudder can figure on being out for a week at a time every year or two. He's two miles from the center of town, and you can see the transformers two blocks away.

Par companies do the least they can to get by, like smaller wires feeding a house than you'd be allowed to use inside.
