While it seems to drag at times, life is really moving at warp speed. Surviving Vietnam convinced me that time was precious, so I only dropped into the mainstream when I ran out of money to enjoy my time.

The Fed has been quietly injecting billions of dollars into major banks, roughly every third business day since Halloween. On Dec. 10, the New York Fed lifted the limit on overnight cash infusions.
