I have been buying, and sometimes selling, gold and silver since 2008. Today I decided to go to a local shop so I could add to my collection. The shop is in a nearby neighborhood along a street lined with many different shops and restaurants. As I turned onto the street I saw a parking spot. I took the spot, fed the meter and began to walk down the street.
As I walked down the street I realized I parked quite far from my destination, at least a quarter mile. I'm thinking closer to a half mile. In a sunny warm day, wearing a hat and a hoody, it wasn't a comfortable walk.
As I approached my destination I realized that a block away was a bank. I actually stopped at a bank in a different neighborhood to get cash. And now I realize that I could have simply came directly to the shop, parked, gone to the bank, and still have time to find a place to have something to eat. Oh well, better planning next time.
Well, as I wrote, I went shopping for gold and silver bullion and coins. I got some really nice coins. One/tenth oz. Krugerrand, Standing Liberty, Wedge Tailed Eagle, a silver Dia-de-los-Muertos sugar skull, a bar and several rounds of silver. Sweet.
Afterwards I walked back up the street. Again I realized how very far I had parked. In a warm sunny day, wearing a hat and a hoody, its not pleasant to walk up nor down the street.
