Maybe we should start calling it the Blakesley Syndrome. A group of related symptoms, stemming from a common cause...
Sure, if you don't mind breaking the law, and voiding any insurance coverage you might have gotten, and slowing the package down, and maybe having...
What kind of roll? A roll of silver quarters or halves is over half a pound, and I think that's the break-point where you end up paying Priority...
Sure, just the same as knowing what would happen to a certain stock, or a certain set of lottery numbers, or a certain horse in a certain race....
To put on some numbers: Median annual US salary in 1970: just under $10K, or a bit over $800 a month. Fixed price of gold: $35/oz I think that...
