The Tulsa OK gun show for Apr. 4th and 5th has been cancelled.

I would hate to be a small businessman. All these shutdowns and cancellations are going to kill him.

You're right Ken. All these closings of group get-togethers is going to cause a lot of chaos in the marketplace + our life in general. I have a friend that has the theory that as this seems to have started in China + they didn't release the info for a month that they were most likely working a bioweapon + somehow the genie got out of the bottle. It is definitely affecting our lives + economy.

Seems your friend and I share a thought in ccommon. Aslo think about the dollars some smart big time buyers are going to make from the depressed stock market.

There is no telling the real story and we certainly never will know it.

In the mean time think of the number of influenza A/B cases that is killing thousands just like every year and the media is too stupid running around jousting with windmills.

True, + now we are talking worldwide economic problems, to say the least. If it weren't so serious I would say it's like something Blofeld would pull in a James Bond movie. Maybe that's where they got the script.

On another tack; now might be a good time to invest in shares in Jim Beam, e.g. If history has taught us anything, it is that the worst times get, alcohol sales skyrocket. I personally will not profit from others' misfortune but it is a solid business move.

Remember the book by Stephen King "The Stand" and the movie that followed?

Pop and I made it to Tulsa twice, 2006 & 2007. In 2007 someone got shot in the ass with a ricochet. I think it was a 22 rifle from a walk-in..
