The weather has been pretty crazy down here too. Last Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday school was closed. Last Friday school was closed again for snow day. And yesterday school was closed for snow day. My test got postponed to next week so I am pretty happy about that.
Yeah this is pretty much in line with what we have had. Kids here missed practically 2 weeks of school, which is unheard of like, the entire time I have been alive in terms of snow days. We missed a couple weeks back when I was in school and Hurricane Isabel devastated the area, but that is it. We have also been getting really historically low temperatures (single digits with negatives accounting for wind chill) after the snow making it tough for our area to handle. One day I went into work and it was like -8 with wind chill. It is unlike any Winter I ever remember for Virginia.

On a Magic related note, I really just want to know when I am gonna be able to pick up Arid Mesa and Scalding Tarn for a more reasonable price Wizards. Let's just stop playing games, all I want is to finish Miracles with an optimal mana base. Is that so much to ask?

Definitely seconding this. With Battle for Zendikar, it makes 100% sense to reprint them there to help sell the set, as well as finishing the cycle of 10 lands like wizards has stated before they would be putting more emphasis on for future printings of land cycles. In this case we got the old fetches in khans, and then the "new" fetches in Battle for Zendikar, a decent way to spread them out without trying to shove them into the final core set. So basically, give it about 6-7 months and you should be able to pick them up for nice and cheap :).

They'll fall to the 10-15 range. That's where the Khans fetchlands are. I'm just about ready to pull the trigger and pick up a couple dozen Khans fetches to have as trade fodder.

How much you think those fetches will be at? 20?
Should fall into the same range as the khans fetches, so $10-$15 depending on popularity. With both styles of fetches having been reprinted recently at that point as well, people will have easy access to whichever fetches they will need without issue. Essentially the huge supply boost will bring them back down to earth again. So if you have time to wait to pick them up, that would likely be wise, or if you have extras you need to offload, sooner rather than later would likely be for the best.
So, I want second opinions on this: I am interested in stockpiling a couple of playsets of Khans fetchlands, since they are easy trade fodder if there is stuff I want to trade for down the road, and I want to try to hit the bottom. If, as we expect, the Zendikar fetchlands are reprinted in October, how does that bode for Khans fetchlands? I know that the two fetchland sets are roughly substitutes of each other - although certainly not perfect substitutes, so a decrease in price of one should lower the demand for the other...
Just musing if I should hold off for now.

I'm currently trying to acquire eight of each Khans myself. Long term speculation, but I don't think having lands is bad, especially when they're essential. Even with the Zen fetches in Standard, I never saw the blues fall below what the blue Khans are at.
As a cube fanatic, I can see a lot of cube managers waiting for the Zen fetches to be reprinted before they try and source one of each of the Zen and Khans copies for their cubes. It's kind of an unwritten rule that cubes are infinitely better when they carry a full playset of fetches and shocks, but cost has prevented a lot of people doing that. If the Zen fetches get down to $10 a copy when BFZ comes out, that suddenly becomes a much more viable thing for cube managers to chase (as opposed to when they're $40+ a copy, like they were when I did it... but hey, I've had two years of awesomeness in my cube that I wouldn't have had, had I not shelled out the extra dough, so I'm not bitter).
Outside of that, I can't see a great deal more of a bounce for the Khans fetches if BFZ sees the enemies printed. I think there'll always be that demand there, and people might forget about the Khans copies for a little while with all of the shiny new Zen fetches floating around, but I can't see them changing their price point much either way - too many people out there like the cube managers I allude to above who are likely looking for cheap copies (e.g. EDH pimpers, Modern newbies), especially if BFZ brings landfall back hard.
Yeah Im trying to hit 2 playsets of each, but things have been going slow.
On a side note: Im loving Pucatrade vs traditional. I've had these cards sitting around forever (old EDH foils) and the first second i put them up i find someone wanting it. Awesomesauce.

I wish this had been my experience but alas, my stock must be lacking because I have only sent one card so far. I feel like I have some decent stuff up and some interesting foils, and still rarely get anyone wanting the stuff. Maybe I just don't check it enough, I don't know.

Yeah you just gotta check on it. My thing is that I have a lot of old EDH foils and a lot of random common and uncommon that are worth a little bit. I mean I had a foil kamal sitting in my binder for 2 years. I put it up and i checked to see if anyone wants it. Bam. Instant trade haha
******* ***** today started off rough with a loss of three hundred and fifty dollars, and soon to be fifty more this Saturday because I need a new window tint. Someone decided to shoot my window out with a BB gun. So late coming into work, and late coming home from work because everyone but myself and this other chick were left behind with messes and a root canal therapy and crown treatment at the end of the day. Not only that, but this new job of mine has a lot of <shady *****es> and it's not working out for me because of their drama loving selves and the schedule makes it hard to schedule interviews for other jobs. Today was a doozy.
Oh, did I mention I got sprayed in the face while working with that root canal therapy patient? Thank goodness for vaccinations and personal protective equipment, but still. GROSS

That sucks, man. Insurance won't cover the window? Or is it below that threshold at which it's just not worth it because they'll jack your rates more?
Yeah, it'll costs me four hundred total to get it back to where it was and five hundred if I want to get insurwnce involved. I was half expecting problems when I walked out this morning, but apparently it's going to be a normal day today.

Man if I ever got sprayed in the face (even with PPE on) I would run to the bath ASAP and wash the crap out of myself. You never know what you can catch. Also with the new job it seems like your working with more low-income type people. This means people who take care of themselves less. =/

No, the arent low income and they all seem to take care of themselves, so in reality they are on the opposite side of that spectrum you're mentioning. I usually am ok with what you're ok with because I used to be hood myself and can identify if I need to. I've never been one for a popularity contest, which is what this place is. High school type ish, ya' know?
And there is no bath. There's an eye wash station, but there's not need for that since I use a face shield. It was definitely in my hair though. The chances of catching anything in your eye is pretty slim and vaccinations take care for the highly contagious ones. I get myself checked every three months any way though.
Yowza, that sounded like a pretty crazy day. Try using an extended lunch break to interview? TGIF!
Brilliant idea. But I was lucky enough to get an interview for over the weekend. I hope this pans out, because if hey offer a working interview, I will probably call in sick to do it.
@krimson: I hope you don't have to wait too long to find something that suits you better, sounds like things have been difficult.
On a Magic related note, I have finally found a couple things I can move on Puca, so I may be able to pull down a Flusterstorm here shortly if I am lucky. Yahoo!

It is. Haven't sent or received anything in the past week because I am out of town currently, but I should be heading back on Wednesday, which means I need to think about what sort of cards I want to consider trading for. Most likely, I want to get a playset of Cursecatachers as they are the last four cards I need to play Modern Merfolk, unless I decide that I want to play the Master of Waves version, which is probably better, but means I would have to shell out for more Masters right when they are really overpriced due to a certain 3/3 for UUU...
