Got word of another acquaintance out of work. This time a pharmaceutical guy. This is gonna be bad. I know more people out of work, than in work.

5000. The worst economic crisis since the 30s will return the worst returns since the 30s. Two more bad years. People need to do what they need to do.

Things are so bad, even Hermes is running a sale, which could well be a first for them.

Being on this list is something of "glass half full/half empty" sort of thing, isn't it?

As Jackie Gleason once said: "one should make two fortunes: one to piss away, and one to keep." I'm still waiting on the first one, unfortunately.

There's a specific brand of rum I drink. In fact, I don't drink any other when I have the choice. It can be hard to come by, so I order it by the case. I learned my lesson when I could not locate it anywhere in the state of Georgia, and on subsequent trips to D.C., Nashville, and Charlotte. I am pleased to learn that it may serve me well as currency in the event our entire modern economy collapses under the weight of its own unrealistic expectations.
