Diary - 10/26/08: Old man Genesee's house burnt down. Went thru the ashes, only found a few of the effects. Btwn the fire, rain & liquor, not much salvage value. Just scraps of paper. Mad/hatter stuff. Articles + Bible verses with scribbles over it all (Could be G's?) Hard to imagine, him once an educ'd man. Economist?! 00's of burnt tin cans (cream corn) in the ashes. No sign of G himself. Just a burnt map, with the Turks/Caicos isles circled (??) Saved the scraps w his jottings for the kids. (Attach'd.)

Notes On The Technicolor Economy, 2001-2015.

G41:14- Then Pharaoh sent for Joseph & immediately he was brought from prison. After he had shaved & changed his clothes, he came in front of Pharaoh.  * Pharaoh = Great House. Poss = White Hse? (Note/Self: Who Joseph/Joe? Joseph Campbell? Check Greenspan bio - possible bro Joe? In prison?)

15-24 Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I had a dream, and no one can tell me what it means. I hear you can. In my dream I was standing on the bank of the Nile. Suddenly, 7 nice-looking, well-fed cows came up from the river to graze among the reeds. 7 other cows came up behind them. These cows were scrawny, very sick, and thin. I've never seen such sickly cows! The thin, sickly cows ate up the 7 well-fed ones. Even though they had eaten them, no one could tell. They looked just as sick as before. Then I woke up. I told this to the magicians, but no one could say what it meant."  * Take me to the river, Phara-oh-ho-tep. G15-24 hi-lites apparent problem - No nutr'l value in fat cows. (Note/S = See Mildred, Wise woman for confirm'n of possibility. Caution: M's wandering hands.) "Magicians," possible Archaic = "Eco advisors." That'd figure. Crosseyed & clueless, those Fk'ers.

25-31 Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, "The 7 good cows are 7 years. The 7 thin, sickly cows that came up behind them are 7 years. 7 years are coming with plenty of food. After them will come 7 years of famine. People will forget that there was plenty of food in Egypt, and the famine will ruin the land. People won't remember, the coming famine will be so severe."  * Huh. People forget. "Same as it ever was." Q - Where's David Byrne lately? Has hide-out? Cream corn stash? Prophet? (Note/S: Call DB.)

33-37- "Pharaoh should look for a wise & intelligent man and put him in charge of Egypt. Appoint supervisors to take a fifth of Egypt's harvest during the 7 good years. Have them collect all the food & store up grain under Pharaoh's control, to be kept for the cities. A reserve supply for our country during the 7 years of famine. Then the land will not be ruined."  * Pharaoh & all his servants liked the idea. Yeah, I'll just bet they did. Possible Plan: 20% p.a. X 7 yrs = 140%. Divide by 7 lean yrs = damn skinny rations @20% of norm. Note/S: Submit 'One-Fifth' savings rate piece. Poss pub'r - The Fed? W-Hse? Who to supervise implement'n? Al G?) (Postscrpt - W-Hse distinctly did NOT like idea. Got told to "go shopping." + "F*ck Gore.")

46-49 Joseph was 30 years old when he entered the service of Pharaoh. He left Pharaoh & traveled all around Egypt. During the 7 good years the land produced large harvests. Joseph collected all the food grown during those 7 years & put it in the cities. In each city he put the food from the fields around it. Joseph stored up grain in huge quantities like the sand on the seashore. He had so much that he finally gave up keeping any records because he couldn't measure it all.  * Ha. Our fatcats ate the fat cows. Yeah, Don't worry 'bout the Gov't... they stole so much, gave up on recordkpg too. Poss way forwrd - sell local food to cities? 2 chances of that - fat & slim. (DB says other T-Heads now out of pic. Nice.)

Story concludes... after the break....

53-57 The 7 years when there was plenty of food in Egypt came to an end. Then the 7 years of famine began. All the other countries were experiencing famine. Yet, there was food in Egypt. When the famine had spread, Joseph opened all the storehouses & sold grain to the Egyptians. He did this because the famine was severe. The whole world came to Joseph in Egypt to buy grain, since the famine was so severe all over the world.  * Once in a lifetime. (Note: Talked to Byrne. Gave up on constructive crit. Agrd instead to bet agst Dow, start late '07/08. Says T/Caicos Isles v. nice. This must be the place.)

G47:13-19 The famine was so severe there was no food anywhere. Neither Egypt nor Canaan produced crops. Joseph collected all the money in Egypt & Canaan as payment for the grain people bought. When the money was gone, all the Egyptians came to Joseph. "Give us food," they said. "Do you want us to die right in front of you? We don't have any more money!" Joseph replied, "If you don't have any more money, give me your livestock." So they brought their livestock to Joseph, and he gave them food in exchange for their horses, sheep, goats, cattle & donkeys. Then they came to him the next year. "Sir," they said, "you know that our money is gone & you have all our livestock. There's nothing left to bring you except our bodies & our land. Do you want us to die right in front of you? Take us & our land. Then we will be Pharaoh's slaves & our land will be his property. But give us seed so that we won't starve to death & the ground won't become a desert."  * After the Money's gone. Stocks too... Land... Enslaved. Ugly - Ain't no party/disco. Canaan poss = Canuckland??? Likely. More intelligent ppl. Thoughtful. Good with grain. Hope? (Post-scrpt: Canuckistan inaccessible. Border wall. That WE built. Bast*ds.) (Byrne says Coach Hse alrdy under conversion w "hot/cold running blondes as per request." Love that guy.)

20-25 Joseph bought all the land in Egypt for Pharaoh. Every Egyptian sold his fields because the famine was so severe. The land became Pharaoh's & Joseph moved the people to the cities. But he didn't buy the priests' land because they received an income from Pharaoh, and lived on that income. That's why they didn't sell their land. Joseph said to the people, "Now that I have bought you & your land for Pharaoh, here is seed. Plant crops. Every time you harvest, give one-fifth of the produce to Pharaoh. Four-fifths will be yours to use as seed & as food." "You have saved our lives," they said. "Please, sir, we are willing to be Pharaoh's slaves."  * Priests did well. Funny that. Them dudes always could make flippy outta floppy. And "The people?" Polite. "Please, sir..." Wonder what they'll say when find out Gov't didn't lay in the one-fifth's. We're willg to be yr slaves? TTFN kids. Headed for the wild wild life.
