   Wow, you scared me for a sec. The thumbnail led me to believe you chilling with Rumsfeld.

   Whew! 😉

   This was in Dallas? Did you get a tour of the vault? The rolling carts full of $100s are my favorite… 🙂

   The Fed in downtown San Francisco has the same "growshrink," "buysell" "demandsupply" spinning ball. I didn’t realize there was more than one. (I’d have taken photos but cameras aren’t allowed in the building, and it’s not easy to sneak much past the guards… ;)).

   Good eye. It is San Fran. The CEOs of the various Fed Reserve banks were there for an IT pow-wow and terrorism simulation.

   I like taking pocket cameras wherever I go. I have found that seeking forgiveness works pretty well. Worst thing that has ever happened was a confiscated battery at an Eagles concert (but I still got the shot =)

   Cool. Until recently, I walked by that ball five times a week, so I thought I recognized it from the thumbnail. 🙂

   Did you have a chance to meet Janet Yellen while you were there? Both she and her husband, Nobel laureate George Akerlof, are impressive economists (and people!).

   no… but I’m wondering if I should have been less bullish…. 😉
