Great summary, PaulTiger!! I do believe I am the first to recommend it, but I'm sure I won't be the last.

I'd be very happy if the people in Dubai saw fit to throw a few bankfuls of money at this. Would be good for them too.

"so no more phone calls Cedar, LOL" - I don't mind being the butt of a joke, but I don't get it? Funnier if I understood - we've only played telephone tag so far, yes?

The GM, 4 km being Sage's, I had a different impression. I asked Brian and got this: 3 km between the south-end gabbro plug and Golden Pond lake, and 5 km under the lake and up to Sage's property. Then 1.6 km on Sage's side, and maybe more. Correct me if we can get better data. The vein widths on the north side of the lake getting wider is good but I don't know what they are.

It's all fantastic stuff, and that's balanced against the horrible direction of the markets - that show is not over, sigh - has me worried. But Warren Buffett is buying, so he must think it will end somewhere. Me, I'm worried about all the credit default swaps maturing in October - $56 trillion, more than anyone could bail out. I just don't know what will happen with that.

Up at the KXL site when the helicopter governor was overspeeding Brian the pilot said not to worry, it had already been fixed the day before with bailing wire, and the bailing wire must just have fallen off.
