Nothing To See Here
Part 8
The "Old Prospector" from the Independence Gold Mine series had vision surgery some time ago, not because he really needed it but "just wanted to get it done before aging further." Huh?
With his improved vision, someone asked if we will see more of his accurate future forecasts and insights but I doubt it. Why?
In a recent interview, he indicated he "sees stuff" just ahead but with a limited audience:
He sees the handwriting on the wall more easily
Sees right thru people
May become employed as a visionary
Has his eyes on a new crystal ball
May take up "peeping tom" duties
Votes "aye" on all stock purchase proposals
Says "see you all later" and means it
Disappointed? Didn't think so.
You just can't get good help these days!
Move along now. Nothing to see here...

===================
Old Prospector's Senior Moment
Part 9
It appears the Old Prospector has some sort of secret contact sauce he has cooked up along with some tasty tidbits of intelligence(?), insights(?) and information(?) you have to accept with a grain of salt.
Let's find out the real story...
The Interview
Janet has once again interviewed the grumpy and grouchy Old Prospector. Now that we have a brand new format, she was also interested in his current views and any contributions he has to share.
JS - So Old Prospector, how have you been since our last interview in October?
Silent.
JS - Ok. BTW, exactly how experienced are you?
I was born 79 years after the end of the American Civil War.
JS - Why do we have to do the math and history lesson?
Because that Canadian Wolfgang is in the Caribbean goofing off and needs real work while we are all busting our butts providing real insights and information.
JS - Good points! Yes, work before play.
Have you seen our new format where everyone gathers unique data, insights or information that is relatively unknown.
Yeah, I got the memo.
JS - Right. Do you have any insights or announcements for us?
I got 2 insights and 1 announcement.
JS - Well that's a start in the right direction! What are they?
You guys are mean and nasty. Your Part 8 (see above) was not very complimentary of my talents and implied I am senile.
JS - Are you?
If I was, would you be interviewing me?
JS - Touché...
Remember at my advanced age and experience I may have a senior moment or two because I have so much information to retrieve.
JS - Point taken.
You know what just happened there?
JS - No clue.
A clueless junior moment!
JS - This is not going well. What is your second insight?
When garage sales dramatically increase in your neighborhood and then paid storage units are emptied, this indicates a cash income squeeze and the first stages of a major depression. Until then, sleep well.
JS - Truly fascinating. What is your third item?
I can still help you all with my "Old Prospectors Intelligence Network" (OPIN). Cute huh? It's open for business right now.
JS - So, do you have anything more for us?
As soon as I have another senior moment, I will contribute more, possibly in invisible ink.
JS - How reassuring!
