  1. Today in wilderness: Guy in hood with shotgun yells at me in gibberish. I ignore & walk off. Language skills are important. Adrenaline-high!
  2. Why do soldiers in Afghanistan not simply stop making photos???? It would help a lot.
  3. Think what you may about DSK´s private life but he is definitely too busy at night for a serious day-job.
  4. See a new parcel of outstanding unheated Mozambique rubies going online today. All fat red and clean, just over one carat.
  5. The ECB gives Europe's car makers credit at 1%; and they turn around to offer 3.9% for consumer finance. Why are they not ashamed?
  6. On the surface: Asians think it mad to show anger. Europeans think it mad to show happiness.
  7. All this is a piece of cake. Thank God for harmless distractions in our lifes. Grateful, we pray for people in freezing refugee camps.
  8. The universe, in divine timing, cut our internet, got wife a flu, baby an eye infection, crashed my car and busted the waterpipe. All in 24h
  9. For the gem-junkie: Compare ruby 1.09 and 1.09. (It is fun, no need to get a headache here).
  10. In Europe: These days one can get a headache not only from the Greek’s sweet wine. No way they push this through. Sorry. It's not happening.
  11. Getting rather tired of all that Facebook IPO bla-bla. Just get on with it and show us in 5 years.
  12. Scary: 22% unemployment in Spain while 64% Spaniards think there is not enough government regulation.
  13. Just trying: How can I link? wildfishgems.com/inc/sdetail/10…
  14. See the new 4.17!!!! That is color.
  15. Now me with a Kindle. Love it. Never mind technology – the written word always trumps.
  16. Worth the headache too.
  17. New Montana sapphires online. Nice material. Mostly precision cut.
  18. Three days headache. Probably from staring into tiny stones for hours.
  19. Luckily we work with a mobile and non-perishable asset class.
  20. European governments mistake austerity for missio sanguinis. Victims will die; or rebel.
