Bass fishermen make "Love List" for Bloomberg in the morning---FICTION

Well it was a hung over morning this Monday at Betty Lou's coffee shop in Normal Minnesota---where the baby boomer bass fishermen meet each morning to swap fish stories, drink extra strong coffee with free whipped cream, and listen to Bloomberg in the morning. One by one the guys were nostalgic about the classic morning broadcast and made a list they pinned on the bulletin board of the things they liked best. Here is that Love List: *. I love you bloomberg the way you allways start off each broadcast whether in war or peace, boom or crash with the latest 1/32 movement in the 10 year treasury. I also love the tinge of excitement when you hint that the current uptick might be the move that crashes the market and makes millionaires of short sellers. *. I love you bloomberg the way you always intervierw a lone disgruntled Fed member that has had his ego destroyed when his advice to raise the fed funds rate by 50 basis points was disregarded. * I love you Bloomberg the way when there is a Federal Reserve announcement you already have a long list of experts in the "dot plot" who can dissect where the statement of the Chairman could have been more effective---maybe by making it a bit shorter and making the pronouncements bolder to provoke more press action. *. I love you Bloomberg the way you always find some female investment professional that professes her alarm over the uptick in ten year rate---its like after a night of action in New York pubs with all the Jersey guys she now is afraid of a treasury rate bounce. Funny. *. I love you Bloomberg the way when the listener is just itching for a tradable stock idea you get chatty with guests about baseball. Nice.

Trained aviators sought for new DOOLITTLE Raid. Good eyesight and proficiency in low level flight desired.

The whole town of Normal, Minnesota is abuzz with comments on a posted enployment notice at Betty Lou's Coffee shop== the classic spot where all the baby boomer bass fishermen meet each morning to review the latest fish locator data. The ad was recruiting aviators who would be available for another Doolittle raid. No age requirements but must be able to fly and stay alert for up to 4hours. Not a one way flight like the original but round trip. Some low level flight hours a plus. Immediate availability required. Top pay and benefits. Apply for further details. Well, well,well. Every retired top gun pilot at Betty Lou's that morning had a grizzly grin on his face... Ya could tell they were a bit tired of fish locator data. Maybe needed to cut a few poinds to get into the flight suit--so just cut the sugar from the coffee. that should do. Stay tuned as I follow this story.
