I've Got My Ion! You?

There's an interesting snippet on positive and negative ionization in the air in George Ure's UrbanSurvival.com blog today. Interesting especially to me, because Catacombs Headquarters is located in a microclimate famous for its negative ionization. Traslasierra, in the Province of Córdoba in Argentina, is blessed with mineral deposits in the western-facing Sierra de Comechingones that produce the ionization effect.

The consensus is that negative ionization can prolong life, improve our immune systems, become more vigorous... Forget Viagra! Come To the Catacombs! Live like a healthy and happy Methuselah!

That negatively ionized air really gets me going, doesn't it?

The truth is, however, I do notice a difference. Just look at the late autumn sky in the snapshot I just took from the front porch.

By Jiminy, sucking down a few lungfuls of that negatively ionized air makes me feel like Popeye after his spinach!

The market is doing without its spinach up to now, but we're entering the last half hour of Friday, more often than not paint-the-tape time, so let's see what happens before posting this.

Surprise! Another wishy-washy day to close a wishy-washy week with a slight upward bias in the last half hour.

Think I'll step outside for another few breaths of fresh air!

You might want to do the same.
