A hearty good morning to you from beautiful Fallen Leaf Lake in the Sierra mountains of California. I'm watching my back, since I read that Gary Savage is rock climbing in this mountain range, and my fears of being a squashed grape must not be realized. I've got a lot of work to do before this is all over.
I come up here this time each year with my family for Stanford Sierra Camp, which is largely for the kids, but it's great for the parents as well. I'm presently waiting for the singing group to get together, in which I participate every year.
My big worry this week isn't the G-20 or the Euro or precious metals but is instead Wi-Fi. Our cabin is currently out of range of Wi-Fi, even though it's supposed to work. I'm pretty good at begging, so I'm seeing if they can get things running today. I made it very clear to them that, given the choice between running water and wi-fi, I'd be much happier without the running water. We shall see. Otherwise, I'm going to spend a lot of time in this lodge.
Anyway, I don't have anything market-ish to report; I just wanted to check in with you guys and say hello. Leisa's in charge, so behave yourselves. I'll try to do the same.
(Leisa here: I wanted to privileged Tim's posting, and I'll continue to do so during the week. I'll put my sector report up after this. Thank you contributors for your offerings. I see that the backlog is building! For those who want a head start on the sector report, it is posted on my blog which you can find here.)
