Sunny Side Up

So what if the markets all opened down The sun’s up and shining all over town And as for the latest round of hot weather Folks survived ‘dust bowls’ by sticking together Then there’s the rising price of gasoline I’ll just ride my bike and keep my car clean And, OMG, look at what meat and fish cost America’s obese! Eating less is no loss I guess it’s my nature to be optimistic Leave the statisticians churn out statistics

Hello Sunshine! Whether the eggs sunny side up or down, it’s getting fried.

Clever, clever especially about gasoline and keeping your car clean. Well lets see how crypto will continue to go, especially downwards. Hugs, blessings, Jennifer.

I don't know. I think Crypto will survive and thrive in the long run, and that it's here to stay... Just like a lot of other new things. The innovation these days reminds me of all the new-fangled doo-dads a century ago -- or was it two centuries, the 1820? Hmm. My short-term memory is failing me. But as for the 1300's, I can recite Chaucer by heart. Rhymes with saucer. :) gw

Good idea, gw. Somehow I recall going through all of this before, don't you? And we survived.
