Silver and Gold have been marching up for the last several weeks, hitting 30-year record highs day after day… but today they jumped substantially.

Traffic Cones
They’ve been working on the main road by my house for well over a year now… and it’s finally looking like they’re almost done. True, there are still plenty of traffic cones and people waiving warning flags to keep us from plowing through a newly cut hole in the road, but it’s progress! Hang on…
