So a few number of years ago, I made a decision. After living in the frigid haunts of Michigan, I decided I wanted to move to somewhere warmer. I wanted to head south.
Random dog walking down the snowy road...
However, I didnt really want hot. Like Florida hot is nearly as bad as Michigan cold, just in a backwards mirror image kind if way. I did not want to be a poisoner to the air conditioning. Plus they have too many creepy crawlies and gators too. Me no like gators!
So I looked at a map of the US and started thinking about mid way between Michigan and Florida. Ah there is Virginia. It is known to have pretty scenic views. As I zeroed in on the state, I saw they had a nice large lake in the south west side. Hmmm nice large and deep lake nestled in the mountains, well there are worst places to live I thought. Not to mention a thriving state economy with Amazon, Boeing and Raytheon opening HQ's there.
The Beautiful Sunday and Sublime Sunday tags are some of my faves! I want to thank 
for running the beautiful Sunday tag every week and keeping such detailed stats and supporting the accounts. Also, a shout out to 
for the sublime Sunday tag where your random Sunday posts are always welcome!
So as I sit here in Virginia surrounded by snow in the middle of March. I am wondering who I can speak to about getting a refund?!? Can it be a beautiful Sunday, I think so. The snow is pretty as long as it melts soon. Making it a sublime Sunday is mentally up to us, I suppose.
Like it is as cold as Michigan today. Where are the blooms? Where is the early planting opportunities? I want my money back! And my time back as well!
Well I am only half joking a bit facetiously... However this weekend there are a lot of big money players who are thinking they want their money back. See Silicon Valley Bank that was a top 20 US bank failed Friday. You know a good old run on the bank, much like in the Christmas favorite, Its a Wonderful Life.
Depositors are federally insured up to $250,000. However they appears to be many big money guys that are in for far more than that. At first blush the Feds were saying they would not backstop those over-exposed. However as is often the case, the whales seem to be making such a fuss, now the Feds are floating the notion of backstopping all deposits. Guess what, sound like you and me might be picking up the tab (again) for the moral hazard sins of the Big Boys. Some things never change, am I right?
I still think I prefer the old view best...
