Do you change your usual routes? For example, the way to the store, office, or home. Or you plan a different route to another city. Google Maps shows you the most suitable route, but you choose to take a different road that you have never driven before. By the way, I do this regularly. Sometimes there are funny situations when I get stuck or lost.

Canyon Diablo & Two Guns It was in 1880 when the violent and bloody community of Two Guns in Canyon Diablo came to life. Having been born by pure accident when the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad ordered the wrong span length for the bridge that was to cross the canyon. When the wrong parts for the bridge arrived, the bridge was at the lip of the canyon and for six months all work ceased until the right parts could arrive and work could resume, and so the community of Two Guns was born. Originally the structures were a few tents and some hasty built rock shacks that could meet the needs for the railroad workers. But quickly more tents and shacks could be seen then followed by real building's. Even setting up a stagecoach route from the town to Flagstaff. Numerous brothel's, saloon's, gambling house's and dance hall's made up the majority of the town. Very quickly the town was home to over 2,000 souls from all walks of life. With every Wild West town comes outlaws and gunslingers. But Two Guns, it can be argued was the most deadly of all. Numerous shootout's, stabbing's, robberies and straight up assassinations were actually commonplace here. Within the first year the town received it's first marshal. It is documented that the marshal sworn in at 3pm, and was being buried by 8pm on the same night! Five more town marshals would quickly follow, the longest one lasting only a month. All were killed in the line of duty. Needless to say, it didn't take long at all for Two Guns to form its own "Boot Hill Cemetery". The first 35 graves to be dug were for men who all met very violent ends. The 36th grave however, was for a man named Herman Wolfe, who died several miles away and was brought into town to be buried. Herman is noted as being the only man in the town who died from a non violent death. There were also countless lynchings that occurred and many of those men were hanged and shot were either left hanging or left to rot in the desert, never being buried in the cemetery. -This was a dangerous and deadly place to visit- The town didn't last long thought. When the railroad bridge was completed the town simply died. The original bridge was replaced in 1900 and by 1903 the only thing remaining in the canyon was a Navajo trading post. Not much of this town still exists aside from a few building foundations, the ruins of the old trading post and the grave of Herman Wolfe. Now As Far As Treasure Goes....... There were so many robberies and hold up's from the stage coach that went from Canyon Diablo to Flagstaff that the Army dispatched troops to escort the stage, but it didn't help as it still was still held up regularly. One of the many outlaws who prayed on the stage was a young man by the name of John Shaw, who was killed in the canyon during a shootout. Another was William Evans who was also killed in a shootout following a robbery. The big treasure however is of a robbery that occurred on May 10, 1881 where $125,000 was stolen from the stage as it was making it's way to the town. It was held up by five men and after the hold up they were tracked down by a large posse with the aid of Army soldiers at a spring. All five bandits were killed in the gun battle that followed and their stolen loot was never recovered and still to this day is waiting to be found!!! If while on your adventured this week, you happen to be along the I-40 maybe stop and check out the area as you never know what you might find! To access the canyon you will need a high clearance vehicle with 4x4 capability. It is located off of exit 230/Two Guns from I-40. (Please be sure to follow State, Federal laws as well as private property, if in doubt just ask permission.) I hope everyone has a safe, exciting and adventurous week! Stay Safe, Stay Alive, Keep Treasure Hunting!!!! #somee % #wep3

Slowly the time passed, until the afternoon of the eventful day, April 3rd, that was to mark the first step in annihilating distance between the East and West. A great crowd had assembled on the streets of St. Joseph, Missouri. Flags were flying and a brass band added to the jubilation. The Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad had arranged to run a special train into the city, bringing the through mail from connecting points in the East. Everybody was anxious and excited. At last the shrill whistle of a locomotive was heard, and the train rumbled in — on time. The pouches were rushed to the post office where the express mail was made ready.” From: The story of the pony express: An account of the most remarkable mail service ever in existence, and its place in history by Glenn D.

Develop a budget & long-term hold strategy example ********************************************************** C- GPT: Sure, I can provide you with an example of a budget and long-term hold strategy: Budgeting Set financial goals and establish a timeline for achieving them Track all sources of income and expenses Identify areas where you can reduce expenses or increase income Allocate a portion of your income to savings and investments Regularly review and adjust your budget as necessary Long-Term Hold Strategy Research potential long-term investments such as stocks, bonds, or real estate Determine the amount of risk you're willing to take on based on your investment goals and financial situation Create a diversified portfolio to spread your risk across different asset classes and sectors Monitor your investments regularly, but avoid making impulsive decisions based on short-term market fluctuations Use dollar-cost averaging by investing a fixed amount of money on a regular basis to take advantage of market fluctuations Rebalance your portfolio periodically to maintain your desired asset allocation For example, let's say you're a 30-year-old individual with a goal of retiring at 65 with a portfolio worth $1 million. You determine that you need to save and invest $1,000 per month to achieve this goal. You create a budget that allows you to allocate $200 per month towards investments. You research and identify a mix of stocks, bonds, and real estate investments that align with your long-term goals and risk tolerance. You allocate your investments across different asset classes and sectors to create a diversified portfolio. You use dollar-cost averaging by investing $200 every month, regardless of the current market conditions. Over time, you monitor your investments and periodically rebalance your portfolio to maintain your desired asset allocation. You resist the urge to make impulsive decisions based on short-term market fluctuations and focus on your long-term goals. As you approach retirement age, you adjust your investment strategy to reduce risk and ensure that your portfolio is aligned with your changing financial needs. This is just an example, and it's important to remember that everyone's financial situation is unique. It's essential to consult with a financial advisor or professional to create a personalized budget and investment strategy that aligns with your specific goals and needs.

Your financial future is a blank canvas, make sure you paint it wisely. Create a budget, save regularly, and watch your wealth grow.

Elon Musk Orchestrates Takedown of the Most Powerful Club in the World The World Economic Forum (WEF) is currently being held in Davos, Switzerland. By LUC OLINGA JAN 18, 2023 7:29 PM EST Elon Musk wants to replay the biblical fight between David and Goliath. In this case he is David, the underdog who takes on the huge and giant favorite Goliath played here by the World Economic Forum (WEF). As it has for decades, this circle of economic and political elites and personalities from civil society has been meeting since January 16 in the ski resort of Davos in Switzerland. This 2023 edition is particularly eventful because it takes place in a context of multiple crises, between the war in Ukraine, global warming and the persistent Covid-19 pandemic. "The world today is at a critical inflection point," the WEF said on its website. "The twin triggers of the Covid-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine rattled an already brittle global system. Economic growth in the world’s largest economies is stalling, while navigating headwinds from rising food and energy prices." 'Master the Future' To reflect and discuss all these issues, the WEF welcomes 52 heads of state and government and nearly 600 CEOs, including JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon and BlackRock CEO Larry Fink. But the problem this year is that Davos is more talked about outside the walls where the Forum is held. Elon Musk, the serial and whimsical entrepreneur has taken the lead of the opponents and critics of this powerful club. The Techno king, as he is known at Tesla (TSLA) - Get Free Report, wants to use his growing influence to bring down Davos, condemned by both left and right. He seems to have joined the ranks of the anti-globalists, on the extreme left and extreme right, who in recent years have redoubled their opposition to the forum. They consider it an assembly of elites disconnected from the reality of the world. After having declined the invitation of the organizers, he multiplies the attacks against the WEF. He first called the Forum "boring" and then wondered if it was the ideal setting to discuss cooperation between the public and private sectors. "I guess there’s value to having a mixed government & commercial forum of some kind," the billionaire said. "WEF does kinda give me the willies though, but I’m sure everything is fine," said on January 15. He then ridiculed founder Klaus Schwab's call asking participants to "master the future" in the face of the challenges currently facing the world, a message delivered during his welcome speech. "'Master the Future' doesn’t sound ominous at all," the billionaire said sarcastically. "How is WEF/Davos even a thing? Are they trying to be the boss of Earth!?" Musk lambasted on January 17. 'Unelected' Government People 'Don't Want' These criticisms seem to be part of a well-orchestrated strategy by the billionaire to dismantle an icon. Musk has just moved up a gear. He now denounces the WEF and goes so far as to compare it to a sort of unelected and unpopular government. "WEF is increasingly becoming an unelected world government that the people never asked for and don’t want," the tech tycoon blasted on January 18. Aware that this charge against the WEF will resonate with his more than 126.3 million followers on the social network, he immediately organized a poll whose tendentious question should lead to a broad rejection of Davos. "The World Economic Forum should control the world," Musk asked. Voters have only two options: YES or NO. More than 1.5 million Twitter users had already voted at the time of this writing. Twitter users have until January 19 to vote. The NO was well ahead with more than 86% of the votes cast. Musk is not saying what he intends to do with the results of this poll. The SpaceX founder regularly solicits the opinion of Twitter users on important issues such as stepping down as CEO of the social network. He has often pledged to respect the results of these polls. The WEF did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Davos has been attracting criticism for many years, but it has only increased of late. Musk may be the spokesperson who can bring about change. Although the WEF sees itself as an important forum for addressing the acute problems facing the planet, critics question the solutions the Forum has offered. "The World Economic Forum meeting in Davos has become largely irrelevant, little more than an exercise in self-congratulation for the world’s elites to convince themselves that they’re making a difference," blasted Patriotic Millionaires, an association of rich individuals fighting for "equal political representation, a livable minimum wage and a fair tax system." Equally scathing criticism of the WEF comes from Greenpeace, which denounces the Forum's so-called fights for the environment. https://www.thestreet.com/technology/elon-musk-orchestrates-takedown-of-the-most-powerful-club-in-the-world
