My Favorite Place to Swim is Upper Bidwell Park near Chico, California. The Lava from Mount Lassen flowed down there and crystallized into large black rocks.

In the Summer the Rocks absorb sunshine and become too hot to sit on unless you splash some water on them from the Creek. The Place called Bear Hole (Diversion Dam) is the Best of the Easily Driven to Spots. However It Does take some crawling over the rocks to get in. Last time I was there, at AGE 62 it was more than I could do so I went swimming at Alligator Hole Instead. That one has a gentle beach to wade into the water. I saw a Duck and a string of Ducklings there. That Gave Me an Emotional Feeling of Being One With the Universe... Sunny Day, Trees, Lava Rocks, Ducks and ME... All One...

Another EPIC Swimming Place is the One Mile Recreation area. During the Depression of the 1930s the WPA built a Giant pool there out of concrete. They Built a Dam Across the Chico Creek and the pool is Very Very Long and Wide... One thing that is wonderful is the Park is open 24 hours a day. Swimming at Night is Special.

Butte Creek is wonderful for Tubing. It's a Wild Ride in the Spring with Snow Melt. 

I lived in Chico in 1973 and 1974 and then again for about 5 years in the late 1990s early 2000s...

Max Keiser says: Vote Against Trump. "ORANGE COIN GOOD, ORANGE MAN BAD" It's Insane that Both Little Stevie Munchkin and Czar Donald are TOTALLY CLUELESS about Bitcoin... or ANY CryptoCurrency.

The Head of the FED (Jerome Powell) understands, Bitcoin is a way to store Value. While Paper Money like the US Dollar can Inflate Away to Nothing... Gold, Silver and CryptoCurrencies have a REAL VALUE. 

In The Real World, The US Dollar's Value is based on BELIEF, TRUST and MEN WITH GUNS. That's why we were able to transport PALLETS of Hundred Dollar Bills to Iraq during the War to pay Tribal Warlords and then... everything cost a Hundred Dollars! Want to buy a Cup of Coffee? Price=One Hundred Dollar Bill... Want to buy a goat? Price=One Hundred Dollar Bill... It's all based on Belief... Ones and Zeros in the Bank of America's Computers... and in 2008... it all vanished!

 When we started the NEW DEAL during the Great Depression of the 1930s, The US Government went OFF the Gold Standard. That Allowed the Bureau Of Printing and Engraving to Print INFINITE CASH to pay for all those WPA employment programs. 

We Could Do that Again! Print INFINITE CASH to pay for the GREEN NEW DEAL. Why Not? It's Just Paper... You can't Eat It... You Can't even use it to Roll a Cigarette... Frankly Speaking, A BIBLE is better for rolling Cigarettes... The Paper is thinner... The only valid use is in the Bathroom when you want to Wipe...

The REASON Munchkin and Trump oppose BITCOIN (and Facebook's Currency) is that It's a Valid alternative to the US Dollar and ECONOMIC SANCTIONS Do Not Work.

In this episode of the Keiser Report, Max and Stacy discuss the fact that bitcoin has now hit the big time as the US central bank, the Treasury, the Congress and the President all start talking about it. In the second half, they talk to Craig Hemke of the TFMetalsReport.com about the return of the bull market in gold.
