You’re supposed to drink heavily during a recession, right? Isn’t that a huge chunk of the methodology of the Vice Fund (VICEX)? Even in times of economic turmoil, people still buy alcohol and tobacco, and gamble.

Although, the gaming stocks have taken a walloping over the past year, as has pretty much everything else, causing VICEX to lose 50% of its value in a year.

Still a nice concept.

NEW PORNOGRAPHERS - THE SLOW DESCENT INTO ALCOHOLISM

I say, my, my slow descent
Into alcoholism, it went
To my head, where I really need it
With abuse that remain untreated

I say my, my, my, my slow descent
Into alcoholism it went

Salvation holdout central
Salvation holdout central
Salvation holdout central

I say my, ever loosening grip
On the commonest courtesies slipped
From my hands, where I really need her
When I need change for the parking meters

I say my, my, my, my slow descent
Into alcoholism it went

Emigration completed …

View Larger Map

Made it to the top of Emigration Canyon/Little Mountain for the first time this season … had to stop a few times to get my HR under control and catch my breath, but I made it to the top, which is all that’s really important. Had to take it easy on the descent because there seems to be something goofy going on with my front wheel … it keeps on a-knock, knock, knockin’, but when I try to figure out what the problem is, no one is home.

It’s frustrating, and can be a little scary when descending. Time to swap out for the spare wheels and take this one in to be overhauled; hopefully that will resolve the issue.

Now: Food. Shower. CarboRocket. Beer. Not necessarily in that order.
