For those who know me, the Freedom Cloud is the stuff from which legends are born. For those who are saying what the hell is he talking about - the Freedom Cloud is a moniker bestowed upon me to symbolically represent my perpetually bizarre and oftentimes insidious luck. The derivation of Freedom harkens back to the Congressional denouncement of French Fries that gave way to the infamous Freedom Fries in Capitol Hill cafeterias. My friends of course like to mock both my French last name and my heinous luck, and Freedom Cloud was thusly born.

As it stands now I am taking a vacation, in fact I leave for Germany tomorrow. Curious as to what the weather outside of Düsseldorf may have in store, I cruised on over to weather.com. Let me know if you can recognize a pattern.

Clearly this forecast does not warrant any further discussion. In all actuality I simply should have known better. Avoidance of the forecast at all costs would have been wise as we all know ignorance is bliss. The sad part is that I was still hopeful. I was in Meerbusch (a suburb of Düsseldorf) this time last year and the weather was absolutely gorgeous. I guess I should have known my karma points were already cashed.

Speaking of cash, let’s now examine how the Freedom Cloud has furthered the crippling of the U.S. dollar against the powerhouse that is the Euro. All hail the almighty Euro, we internationally challenged Americans are forever at your mercy… We’re not worthy, we’re scum, we suck (forgive me, I purchased Wayne’s World this weekend). You all have me to thank.

Now that’s a sexy little crash, eh? If you care to take a look at the trend over a greater period of time just head on over to Yahoo Finance. While still comparably weak, the dollar was holding quite constant until I hatched my plans.

Well I hope you enjoyed this brief little lesson in Freedom’s bad luck. I am Greg Molyneux, living out Murphy’s Law one day at a time.

Update: Not more than 20 minutes on German soil and the sky opened up dumping marble sized hail for about 10 minutes. It was like nothing I had ever seen before. It is good to know that the Freedom Cloud is in full effect.
