Alright, now I'm a "hater." I won't mince words. Casey Serin is an asshole. We've known he's attempted to control the flow of information and many have long complained about selective approval of replies. Low, self-defeating and ultimately futile kinda like Casey himself. Now, however... He's gone back and deleted older posts that have my name. Whether because I've earned special status or just because he can't stand that my name links here I don't know. I do know that attempting to rewrite history is one of the most despicable acts anyone can undertake. In this case it looks more like trying to conceal evidence. This danger to society needs to be stopped now.

Lol,
Casey is done, finito, just waiting for Tony to use and burn in another *sweeet* deal.
I hope that he kicked *up* so as to keep on the Uzbek mob's good side during those ripoff days...now he has to pay the piper- anyone wanna bet he *flips* on his criminal enterprise buds.....stay tuned.
Saw this guy, riding shotgun with my mailman this morning:

Weird.
You should take it as a compliment - Casey must be seriously rattled by this site to bother to dig out your old posts and delete them.
Casey has a history of being a liar and a fraud, caring little about who he steps on or hurts along the way. He is a star in his own mind and we have all been pawns in his attention whoredom.
Robert,
How much would it cost to buy a sponsored link on Google for people searching for "I am facing foreclosure"?
You could solicit donations - and it seems that it would drive Casey nuts to have your webpage above his on Google.
What a silly, small little man Casey is. Its pathetic, really.
my concern though is how we will find out what happens to him if and when the blog goes down and he skulks below the media radar.
I'd be willing to contribute.
Oceania is at war with Eurasia, Oceania has always been at war with Eurasia....
Don't take it too personal Rob Dawg. The Lil' Attention Whore is obviously afraid of you now because you are stealing part of his thunder. And just like all skanky attention whores they have to try and get the spotlight back on them as much as possible. With statements like:
"Bigger and better things are indeed coming, I can feel it. I’m paying my dues right now and this whole thing is building my character so that I can be ready for the next step."
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Hilarious!!!! I guess I do agree with him that bigger things are gonna come his way though. I can see his cellmate Bubba just licking his chops as he awaits for the arrival of the creator of magical opportunities
His fading blog is all he's got, dewd. It must take hours to go back and Winston-Smith out all the stuff he's retroactively categorized as Casey-damning.
I think what's happened here with your site may be the biggest, most annoying thorn in Casey's side. There's not a thing he can do about this free discussion of all things Casey. He can't shape it, direct it, gatekeep and retcon it. It's the truth of his past actions in his own words, and the baby has lost control of his own story. Waah!
Many of the recent, slightly antagonistic posts here at EN appear to share some of Casey's difficulties with spelling and grammar. Has Casey himself deigned to peek inside, and then enter the bright room filled with with those who have stripped him bare? It's heartening, almost deliciously so, to picture Casey grimacing at his desk as he looks over the posts unleashed here, his puny, girlish frame quivering on the blue ball, eyes shaded by his dickish hat, tentatively typing out ineffectually enraged, anguished forays into hostile territory occupied by truth. Does he weep as he reads? From both ends?
'Who controls the past', ran the Party slogan, 'controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.'
Casey is truly Soviet in his attitude towards information.
Casey (I know that you are reading this), are you sure that you wouldn't be more comfortable back home in Tashkent - the political system would appeal to you, I think.
"Life has gotten better -- life has gotten more fun"
J.V. Stalin
I told you he was doing that! I was doing a vanity search a few days back, and noticed some of my best material has vanished. Imagine what it's done to my poor vanity! I don't know how I'll bear it. ::sob::
He's a little pr*ck.
PS thanks for the Jeep image. Very cute.
BBBut do you *really* he'd post here? LOL.
And the number of positive, affirming posts--all in the same psychobabble blather--keep appearing on his pathetic blog. No wonder he has no time to take care of business--he's too busy rewriting history. This makes it the third time, yes?
Casey and Galina both spend a great deal of time over here reading, making incoherent, misleading and abrasive posts, etc. Check your Sitemeter.
So like them to be piddling around over here, thinking it makes any difference, while the deck is slipping below the surface of the water on IAFF.
Will Casey push Galina down to save himself or will Galina push Casey down to save herself? Time will tell.
And this coming on the heels of the NYTimes article where he states that once it's on the internet, it's there forever...
I'm just curious but does anyone think that Casey and Galina have applied for food stamps or any other welfare program available in California?
@Stephanie, and you did have some good stuff too!!!!
The little bastard can try to rewrite history as much as possible, unfortunately, the truth is already out on the internet, and the fact that he is rewriting history tells me that it is starting to hurt him where it counts..his need for attention. In less than a week one possibly two more houses will be foreclosed on, and his options are getting smaller and smaller. I sincerely believe that he thought his trip to see RK would be the one thing that gets him out of this mess. Instead he comes runnning home, still boroke, and now with another ill informed signed contract. He had an east coast mentor which probably might have helped him and he screwed that up too. Why? Because like a gambler he decided he would try to ride it out until he had 'won' enough. Let's face it, the onyl reason he was even talking to the no limit ladies is because he wanted to meet his idol.
Before Casey I never would have believed anyone could make so many bad and wrong decisions one after another. He thinks he is magical? I think he is cursed.
I'm just bursting with admiration. So many of you got the "1984" and supreme soviet allusions. My first draft actually included a newspeak reference but you guys are way ahead of the curve.
Yes, Casey is here all the time. I leave the sitemeter link visible so that anyone curious enough can see who visits here. Earlier today someone from Citibank went through like 20 pages. If they can speak "homey" they are probably running over to the legal department right now. His site is getting snapshot archived all the time now. This might be the Martha Stewart gambit. Rather than gt him for the crimes, get him for covering up the evidence. We can only hope.
He finally edited (well, not edit per se...more like DELETED) one of my posts. That fucker!
I wanted to get John Galt over here so I just straight up made a post telling him to come over here and say hi and I provided a link to this site and Casey didn't approve it!!!
I feel tainted. Someone hold me.
@Rob
Ugh, that was hands-down one of my least favourite 'required-reading' books from the 7th grade.
Creeped me out for years. Still does.
hey guys,
I have a feeling that a break in the action is going to come via the Utah deal. Sounds like our friend Heidi is contacting the right folks to make it happen - should the owners be made aware by now of what is going on? Might shake our lil Casey up to be confronted by someone who's money he stole.
1984, Brave New World, Farenheit 451. There's lots of that whole genre playing out in real time in front of us.
BTW, Steph. My programmer friend in Fresno wants me to mention that he has a dirty gold jeep. I don't know what that means as I have a Ford SUV but I am not entirely cretinous as I also have a Suzuki GS1100ES.
That's our Casey - his houses are foreclosing, his hard loans are coming do, and what does he spend his time on? Deleting old blog posts he doesn't like.
The State Department used to have (still does, for all I know) an "inbox" test for applicants. They gave the applicant an inbox filled with things to do that a diplomat would encounter, and then you had to explain in what order you would do the tasks in the inbox, and why.
It would be hilarious to see how Casey would do on that test...
@Rob's programmer friend:
TJ? YJ? CJ?
@ Rob..
Trust me I know that those scenarios are playing out in many shapes and forms today. That's why I was and still am creeped out.
Makes me want to move even further away from people.
In my undergrad history class they referred to this behavior as "damnatio memoria" or "damnation of memory." As I recall, it used to take the form of chiseling off the names of past pharaohs (e.g., Hatshepsut) from monuments.
Since my history professor was able to name Hatshepsut some 3500 years later, you can guess about how well damnatio memoria works.
@stephanie
I have a 2004 Jeep unlimited, fully paid for, something CAsey has no idea about
anyways
What if Casey just told his most recent moderator, get rid of anyhting you don't like. Maybe it's Nigel or yneone doing all the deleting. Not that it matters, they are all one and the same, psychotic, delusional, ethically challenged, and devious.

You aren't going Linda Hamilton at the end of Terminator on us are you Steph? I'm not quite to the whiskey and gunpowder camp but I sure am hunkered down with cash and safe investments.
"Hatshepsut"...
Wow, this is one tough crowd. Summer before last visiting Boston area my then 6th grader ran ahead in the Museum of Fine Arts to the Egyptian section saying "this is so cool, you know most of her works were erased by later pharohs..." Casey's generation may be infested with Nintendo slackers but the next at least has few bright spots.
mortgage fraud case study mentions Casey Serin:
http://www.scotsmanguide.com/default.asp?ID=1893
@Anon 10:38
On six of the properties, he received cash back at closing. The largest check he received was for $50,000. The cash was paid to a bogus company, controlled by a third party. It was then funneled back to Serin. In all other escrows, cash was paid to the seller, then back to Serin after closing.
Bogus company controlled by a third company? Do we have a name for this company?
There goes another New Year's Resolution! No more lying...

Casey,
You have been quoted that one cannot attempt to rewrite history online. Then, sir, why have you removed references to Mr. Robert Cote’s website? Sir, why not simply respond on your own blog to the points raised by Robert and others on his?
Thank you.
@ Rob
I'm not quite to the point where i have a militia compound up on Mt. Hood, complete with sentries and armory... but it sure sounds nice. LOL.
I guess a 550 square foot cabin on Mt. Hood with annoying townie seasonal neighbors will have to do in a pinch. I do have prolific stores of Pinot Gris and lox--which should suffice.
Hey guys/gals/others ;)
Don't you think that if CS so much as makes a penny on any of this, that everyone will be lining up to whack his kneecaps for it? (i.e. the IRS, banks, Cash call, NLL, etc) Now THAT will be poetic justice...
Casey, Casey, Casey. Here he is, standing in front of a class of Kiyosaki Sheeple, and what does he do for the first ten minutes? Whine about his haters--and then stand there for another fifteen minutes while RK showers him with platitudes and insincere advice about how to cope with them.
It's no wonder he's trying to erase things to make his blog match his selective little world. $50,000 promissory note? What $50,000 promissory note? Aggressive, abrasive posts that are hurtfully true? What aggressive, abrasive posts that are hurtfully true?
My little mountain hideaway is in Wrightwood, CA. Great little town in a long narrow valley. The entire downtown is on a webcam:

I'll bring the Cakebread Cellars Chardonay, bagels and cream cheese and we'll wait out the housing crisis.
help law enforcement keep tabs on Casey Serin's whereabouts in the coming weeks as he attempts to flee his obligations:
Casey Serin's car:
1998 VW Jetta White
California license plate
4BUB954
new tags due in June 2007
Check with DMV about the address registered for this car.
It has to be a home address where he is currently living, it cannot be his Roseville Hwy PO Box or Mail Box Etc. address -- $10,000 fine and prison time for registering a false address.
keep local law enforcement in the loop, contact Roseville PD Bunco squad:
Roseville Police

Citibank, Countrywide, and the IRS are only a few of our nega-heros concerns.
I think Casey is about to find out why those loans from his uzbek "uncles" are called "hard money".
I still think Casey is part of something larger, and that our hero will get amnesty by turning state's evidence.
But, by posting all this info about his personal life online (including pictures), I'm not sure Witness Protection will be able to save his sorry ass.
@ Rob
Cute little town. Mine's sadly a little less rustic than yours. It's sitting right in the path of ski-traffic, so it's been trendified to meet the needs of crunchy, entitled Portlanders and Washingtonians driving up in their many Subarus for the weekend. Makes local establishments an dshops quite unpleasant on weekends.
Aww.. I see that you've got stellers up there too... I love stellers. Such bratty little guys.
I live there full time tho. As you can tell by my attitude about weekenders.
I am a technical dork, and have no idea how to do this, but isn't there a way to google-bomb Casey's name so that Rob Dawg's site comes up at the top of the list when someone googles the little twit?
It's funny. He does have some new haters that he lets through. It reminds me of the good old days when I could go on there and pound him (figuratively), he'd act like he didn't read it and give a shout out to the dude that saw him at Denny's.
Anyway.....
His site really has gotten boring with all the good posters gone. Hell, I've gotten boring since his good posters left. It's all good though....
Craven
@Craven
I too have to admit that I've become boring because I no longer have an object to direct my ire at.
:::sigh:::
Steph,
Yeah, I've only owned up there for 20 years so I'm a barely tolerated newcomer and weekender at that. We've got a great little ski area; mthigh.com and yes, Stellar Jays everywhere. They sure do like to announce their prescence. The worst thing about the ski crowd is that the local grocery doubles the beer/wine/spirits prices. The good part is every spring they clear out all the exotic beer/wine/spirits at deep discounts.
we could google bomb...
if everyone who has a website that is currently in google, serins site with a consistant link text, it could be done...
read up on it here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_bomb
@Steph.
I'm not really a violent guy but is it wrong of me to hope that Casey gets his butt kicked? And maybe a little man love in lock down?
I can't even count how many times I've read postings on his site and literally laughed out loud. A lot of talent was on Casey's website. Too bad for him none of it was his.
The fact that he is obviously reading this site is great.
I have a 9,376 page PDF copy of his site, current as of 3:47pm EST yesterday. Doing a quick search I see 133 results for "Cote".
If anyone wants it, post here and I will upload it to one of the free FTP sites.
If we could get everybody to put caseyserin.info in the -website field- at IAFF when they post every name would link back here. I knew that $2.24 investment was worth it.
So there key here is, to post really encouraging comments on his blog and make the website field contain www.caseyserin.info? Done!
"Your comment is awaiting moderation by the blog owner. (Typically takes 12-48 hours)."
and if you wanted to be a real pain in the ass, you could trawl real estate related blogs, and post comments with the website field 'caseyserin.info' and the name field as 'casey serin' - just put 'sweet deal!' as a comment :)
Anonymous, I am very interested. Which site would you use?
I, myself like Megaupload. Rapidshare is fine as well.
sites to get you started...
http://www.blogtopsites.com/real-estate/
Go here if you want to try and create ways to make caseyserin.info turn up in more searches ;)
Bwahahahahaha
Prob with Utah leading the way is that it would require extradition to lock him up. We have to get Ah-nuld on to it or get the Feds interested. FGrankly I think that it is time that the banking powers that be pick an idiot to hang out to dry - the media would love it, CS would get his moment of fame, and we'd all get satisfaction as he spends a lifetime working to pay off every dirty penny because the bankrputcy courts disallow 90% of his stolen money, er, debts.
I jsut hope he doesn't do much jail time because I'm sick of him living off the fat of MY land.
Wow, the article in the Scotsman Guide
http://www.scotsmanguide.com/default.asp?ID=1893
is really damming.
"On six of the properties, he received cash back at closing. The largest check he received was for $50,000. The cash was paid to a bogus company, controlled by a third party. It was then funneled back to Serin."
No wonder Casey wants to control the flow of information - funneling 50K to a "bogus company controlled by a third party" looks a lot less like a 24 year immigrant getting over his head and a lot more like a fraud ring.
And who was helping Casey with these purchases anyway? On IAFF, its just Casey Superman who did everything. Assumming the above article is true, who was the "third party" with the bogus company? Did that person help Casey with any other deals? Were there other people in on Casey's deals? Why hasn't Casey discussed them, hmmm?
And Dawg... I'm trying to start an infinite loop within your site so you can break into the seven figures... 100,000 visitors, here we come!
@11:41 AM, Anon
Trust me... there are many, many of us who have spent time visualizing with wistful smiles, many forms of ass-kickery being inflicted upon our fair-haired boy.
And yes... I'm quite sure there are some felons in CA state prisons wringing their hands in anticipation. He's a nubile young thing, you know.
StephanieJ - I think some of your classic asskickings are preserved at one of the other sites that put together a compendium of "women kicking Casey's ass." You might check there?
Maybe we should each take it upon ourselves to memorize one of Casey's posts, a la F451, so that when he pulls them all, we can take turns randomly emailing them to him?
I think the pulling down is *especially* funny, given the theme of that New York article - about the younger generation taking living in the spotlight for granted, accepting that anyone can be inadvertently tossed to fame via the web, and the whole "humiliation and fame intertwined" thing. It's the thing that makes hideous talentless hacks show up for American Idol tryouts, or makes people think that being on Real World: Peoria or Survivor: Thong Beach is their Route to Fame.
He says in his interview that having it out there is, essentially, "keepin' him real," and then starts trying to shape that reality after the fact. Hah.
That does it. I'm joining the IAFF boycott (at least in terms of posting--still might lurk now and then). Rob's blog and a few non-Casey websites will be my primary source for following Looser Boy from now on.
Rob, just a quick thought: my suspicion is that with your success at diverting visitors from Casey's site will likely come the need to moderate and/or require registration. Can you block individual IP addresses? Once he realizes that the visitors he lost are not coming back, I'm pretty sure he's going to do what he can to be a pain-in-the-ass over on this site. And he's got a lot of time on his hands (for now).

No dirty Jeeps here. The trade-offs just don't make sense for the sort of driving that I do. This time of year, my transportation is an older but lightly-used car (I will not name the make for fear of Stephanie J's disapproving glances) and an old rigid mountain bike. Both are agreeably covered in all the dirt & sand that accumulates on a snowy street.

I wonder if C$ frequents the Denny's in West Sac just south of the I-80 freeway off the Harbor Blvd exit.
the bird dogging mail man pic near the top of the thread is great, good work.
I agree....that little pissant has deleted some of my posts on his blog too.
This really chaps my hide.....History revionists should be drawn and quartered between 2 dirty jeeps.
I am willing to bet stephanie would volunteer to be one of the jeeps.
This little prick is a thief ...he needs to be stopped....
and it further pisses me off that even with the complaints I make to the authorities and even HEIDI's more detailed steps and more informed and researched complaints that nothing is being done.
Casey has to be stopped...because the scary thing is that he can go out there and do more deals without credit and cause allot more damage.
I acquired several properties years and years ago that required no money down and no credit checks...no verification of any kind but signatures on the bottom lines...but I did it smarter than casey and had reserves set up with the down payments from my buyers.
It pisses me off to no end that this prick has enough knowledge to go out and do this now.
and pss to stephanieJ...OH my god...you have a cabin up at government camp.....can we call it our love shack?
PSSS..I am just bored so I am latching on to stephanie because she is in my home state, has a dirty jeep, and is famous for her postings....I am trying to be a e-leech in honor of casey by stealing someone elses thunder.
RE:
http://www.scotsmanguide.com/default.asp?ID=1893
answers to questions about the name and actual identity of Casey Serin's third-party cash-back-at-close money-funneling-fraud straw company could probably be found by contacting the article's author:
C. Robert Simpson, who is CEO and senior legal counsel of Investors Mortgage Asset Recovery Co. LLC (IMARC).
He is a leading authority on the prevention, detection and recovery of mortgage-loan fraud.
Simpson consults with mortgage lenders on issues related to quality control and prevention of mortgage fraud, speaks at national and regional mortgage conferences, and has served as an instructor at the FBI's Financial Institution Fraud Seminar.
Reach Simpson at:
(949) 486-0161

@CHJTS
That's fine. I take very good care of my remoras--but the cabin remains non-love-shacky for the time being. It's my haven; especially after having to drive through the throngs of stupidity that populate the road between PDX and the mountain.
That sort of stuff makes a good girl bitter; and causes her to go around threatening violence at people who display especially idiotic tendencies.
I do know that attempting to rewrite history is one of the most despicable acts anyone can undertake.
Rewriting history is one of the spoils of the victor. Prior to victory it's just propganda.
Since there is no clear winner, we can only assume that CS is creating propaganda for self-protection adn self-promotion.
Tuesday come and gone....not reaching 6500 visits at IAFF. I am keeping to my prediction that if 6500 visits are not reached this week, it will be downhill and the boycott has worked.
Prob with Utah leading the way is that it would require extradition to lock him up.
The good thing about Utah is that it probably involves wire and postal fraud. That brings it into the Federal realm....if they will have it.
But what a piece of PR for the Utah DA. Sending a crooked Californian mortgage fraud perp to the slammer. SWEEEET.
So what is the deal with the Utah property, anyway? Are they real people who were innocently taken advantage of by Casey? Did he really cash those mortgage payments and buy JJ with the $?
Does anyone know or is it all speculation at this point?
Robert, looks like you have been scrubbed from comment threads after #135 (posted 2007 Jan 18) Earlier threads still have at least some of your comments.
Google with this: "site:iamfacingforeclosure.com robert coté"
Nothing after #135 - we all know you would post occasionally. Funnily enough, he hasn't removed some other posts pointing out the "shadow" blogs - guess he was too lazy to search for the name or web site, just deleted by author name after Jan 18.
Rob/Steph,
Not that the Casey trainwreck isn't interesting, but I'm curious if you two are really taking precautions in the event that life as we know here in our little part of the world is about to take a drastic turn for the worst?
Here in fly over land, people just don't want to hear/believe that everything isn't peachy keen and GWB isn't good for Amerika. So I'm curious what rational left coasters think?
Hey, stop hating on Subarus you animals. I used to have one, and it was the best 3 cylinder piece of crap I ever owned. I probably delivered 10000 pizzas in that thing. Not only was it dirty, it smelled like delicious artery-clogging italian food and buffalo wings. Plus the 7.5 gallon tank was pretty sweeeeeeeet.
And I should point out that it lasted a HELL of a lot longer than the VW Jetta I made the mistake of buying at the beginning of the summer (lasted about a month.)
jq,
You are barking at the wrong dawg. I'm an old style conservative. Okay, clean your screen and hear me out. First understand the Republican party is not conservative. Conservatives start National Parks and end wars. Okay, now your question. I am positioned for emergencies. I have a generator, motorcycle and the usual bottled water, space food sticks, propane grille, SUVs, secure location(s), trade goods. No big deal. This can all be part of a normal lifestyle. Just keep the freezer full, and rotate perishables. Remember, I'm in prime earthquake territory so this is normal behavior. But what I'm also able to do is move my liquidity very quickly. If things get bad there will be two kinds of bank assets; the quick and the devalued. All just common sense not end of days.
jq said...
So I'm curious what rational left coasters think?
I am neither Rob nor Steph, however, I am a rational left-coaster and I'm here to tell you that many of us do not agree with GWB and/or his policies nor did we vote for him.
Rob,
As someone who can quote Ron Paul talking points, I know where you're coming from. But just like Goldwater, Paul doesn't have a chance in hades in getting the GOP nomination.
And not to go Kunstler and the Long Emergency on you, but once oil has (or had already) jumped the shark, life as we know it in the the cheap oil era is over and done and the pain will begin; when is the $64mill question. You're an engineer and you can calculate EROI right? But it's not peak oil that's the problem, rather it's the economic slowdown that snowballs into something more after PO that is. After all, the veneer of civilization is thin. I won't even start on the SPP, 9/11, chips, and Orwellian one world gov't.
I too have diversified a good portion of my assets out of the $ and stock market, but don't have a rural retreat because I don't think that's the answer to riding anything but a short-term crisis. The only natural disaster events we have to worry about are tornados and winter ice storms.
@T, It wasn't my intent to imply that all left coasters are uber liberals. GWB makes my skin crawl, but so did Clinton and Reagan. I guess my point is that I despise American politics & the voter's choice between Rep's and Dem's is about the same as the choice one would make between Bud and Miller. Two watered down products that taste the same after the second one.
Oops, I just read my post. Of course Goldwater won the nomination, but got landslided by Johnson/spirit of JFK. In this day and age, if Paul even gets enough money to mount even a semi-serious challenge in the primaries, I'll eat my hat.
jq,
Fair enough except for the Kunstler crap.
http://exurbannation.blogspot.com/search?q=kunstler
Higher energy prices are not going to send mankind scurrying back to the ghettos to huddle against the night.
Beyond that Peak Oil is a myth.

Enjoy or get enraged, whatever.
IAFF going pfft...
Keep the boycott going! Stay off Casey's blog! After four straight days away, I'm also feeling much better about the world.
The best part of IAFF was the LOL posting...and all of it just moved over here. And now, we can read it in real time.
Drive the little weasel to his knees.
Rob,
Looked at your prior postings; take it you think PO is a fairy tale. Like Matt Savinar, Kunstler has latched onto the PO income stream but brings no expertise to the party other than wordsmith abilities. I.E., I don't look to Kunstler and his ilk for facts. But if PO is fiction, please explain Iraq. A trillion + $'s and 100,000's lives to revenge doing GWB's daddy wrong? I'm opened minded.
Hey Clott and Walt
Have read your posts over in IAFF, glad you came here:-)
Sadly foriegn adventurism is a symptom of end of empire syndrome. The American Century appears to have lasted almost exactly a century. Peak Oil is a fatally flawed theory and at best tangentially related to our Mid-East bumbling. Our screw ups go back way before GHWB.
Ogg-
Glad to hear you still ride a rigid. That's burley. If you're interested in a full springer, I have a aluminum and carbon K2 that I just use for cruising around.
I bought the bike used a couple of years ago. The shop wanted $800, but since I'm a high roller, I paid $1000. I need to sell it to you $3000 to break even, since it was a mish-mash of Bontrager and Avis parts, which I started to convert over to Shimano. Sadly, I was distracted by the Exurban Nation University Secrets of Enrichitude Seminar Series. The first seminar was called "Book Lernin's Is Be Fer Dumb-dumb's!", and needless to say, I was hooked. The second seminar, "There's Profits Comin' Right Out Yer Ass!" is all I needed to know a sweet deal when I am told it is one.
Either way, it's win-win. Please think about it while I do nothing. If the deal falls through, I will be forced to continue doing nothing, but maybe with a hat.

You know, peak oil isn't about higher energy prices - it is about the amount of crude which can be produced in a given time frame. In the proven case of the U.S., Norway, Romania, to name three (two being the first commercial oil provinces in history), this process is both inevitable, and not accepted at the time - just a few more wells, just a little bit better technology, maybe more 'incentives.' And after a few years of unstoppable decline in production, though generally only a few percent - many people expecting the oil to 'run out' are wrong - the amount pumped will just keep decreasing over time, as seen in what was in the past the world's largest oil producer, the U.S.
And just like the bullets of a Hollywood hero's weapon never run out, the finite resource of oil will be there for us all, because otherwise, the script will need to be rewritten - and everyone hates a good story to be ruined by reality.

Honestly, I'm not hiding out on a mountain because I fear a war; but I do not doubt that such a thing is possible. I think it grows more possible with each passing day.
I hide out on a mountain because I hate people. People suck. Not *all* people, of course; but the stupid ones that make this beautiful part of the world so unpleasant. The ones with screaming kids in public places, the ones that clog up the Wal-Mart parking lot looking for good deals, the ones that are missing lots of teeth and have meth-skin, The ones that drive the hulking SUVs to get groceries, and the ones who build mcmansions that fill up a postage stamp lot to the very edges, and build hamster-mazes of them all over the countryside.
I don't know what's worse. Apocalyptic thermo-nuclear war, or stupid people. It's a toss-up. But either way, I'm better off in my cabin away from it all as much as possible.
