Back in a Few…

I’ll have to get caught up on this week’s appearance by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke before Congress (in which he will likely say he knows the U.S. economy is weakening but is not yet ready to do anything about it, though Congress could) sometime later in the week as we are off to Yellowstone National Park for the next few days where a much deserved break from the internet and financial news will be had.

During our stay, one thing is certain. If we’re at a picnic table and are approached by one of these fellas, we’ll promptly get up and walk away, something that a Massachusetts man failed to do just last month. According to this report, he was gored, tossed ten feet up into the air, and then pinned to the ground for failing to understand that keeping a safe distance from the wildlife means getting up and moving if necessary.
