Spring Chicken

Good morning Eggheads and those with gas.

I was somewhere in deep dreamstate living a life of care-free luxury and abundance when one of my financial attendants rushed through the door to tell me my world was coming to an end. He was screaming, "THE DOW IS FALLING!!! THE DOW IS FALLING!!! I instantly came out of my self-induced dreamworld and looked around. I sensed something was amiss and realized that the plumbing alert had gone off. I sprang from my recharging device and ambled at extremely high speed to the maintenance facility. The normally open entry portal was closed and I was delayed by .36399231 time units. I barked a complaint, "$#^@!" Then I grabbed the knob, twisted in the correct sequence of movements and was quickly inside the safety zone. I instinctively turned toward the porcelain furniture, selected the one used for emergencies, pulled the biofluid release lever and WAA LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! Another fun-filled time unit came to a close.

Feeling good about my successful response to the plumbing emergency I strolled into the food preparation area and decided that my nourishment intake entry point was in need of an infusion of hydrogen/oxygen combo juice. While consuming same, I took the liberty of slightly moving to the side one of the perimeter walls surrounding the refrigeration unit, glanced inside the now exposed chilled cavity and determined that the interior illuminator device was working properly.

I sauntered over to the external observation portal to see if Rodney Dangerbird was anywhere near his post. He was and was talking to some of the Coop crew. I could only pick up on some of the squawk but it appears that he was instructing them in how to behave during the upcoming event scheduled for October 4th of this orbit. I trust he gave them good advice. One of the crew nodded to him that I was about. He turned slightly, waved that all was well and returned to his class.

I was still in hyper-active mode and my pea was rolling around in my cranium space with abandon. I decided to go to the Intergalactic Communication Facility and do research. No sooner than my data reflection device lit up I could see that my dreamworld's financial attendant's message was real. The Dow was falling and had already fell many values. Even worse, there was much negative comment as to the morrow's activity. There was ample evidence of a "take it and run" attitude among the shock market manipulators. And, as always, there were a few who were saying, "Not to worry. The ship is still afloat." Yea, but the rodents were already jumping from it, a sure sign that things were not good and the ship might soon be hidden below the surface. I will not look forward to the upcoming light period, especially in light of the "over the barrel" position this portion of the planet has allowed itself to reach.

Nervously, I read the Forum to see if there was general panic among the Egghead Agents. Oddly there was little activity among the 6 Members and 108 Guests. I take that to mean they either don't know, don't care or haven't decided what level of panic to take. I can't take this stress while under-powered and must return to the recharging station.

Say goodnight Leroy.

SC, Goodnight Leroy....
Remember buy low, sell high and don't put all your EGGS in one basket.
