Like most people my age I fret about my savings, or more accurately, about my lack of savings, vis-a-vis dwindling savings.
Is it enough? No, in my experience it never is, unless you're Jeff Bezos or that other guy.
Turns out the best advice is this: forget about it! Why? Because. . .
"Looking at one's savings too often can encourage dementia in almost everyone."

More Hat Musings From A Fellow Hat Maniac
"Hats are very important in my life. I won't leave the house without one. I wear a wide variety, mainly period correct to the era between 1835-1920 depending on my mood. I also wear, upon occasion a variety of genuine RJ Preston hand crafted and period correct sombreros when the spirit moves me. BBB has contributed to my own hat nazi status, a deed for which I am truly thankful. Maybe I am just a throwback to a different era but it is a state that I really dig and it permeates into most aspects of my rich happy existence. Little known fact, before he was a politician, Harry S Truman owned and operated a fine haberdashery."

And speaking of good land, check out this Two-Lane Tale from an upcoming issue of the Prescott Courier.
"Lying about the West in general and the Southwest in particular has been a cottage industry for over a century."
—Charles Bowden
I don't believe there was a 1943 Suburban available during WWII. I believe some 1942 models were built and sold during the early months of the war and mainly for military use but production of civilian vehicles basically ceased then until the 1946 model year.
ReplyDeleteHey Triple D, Triple B here. Dan the Man Harshberger, who created the Two-Lane Tale and is a car nut, replies: "t doesn't say it is a 1943 model, but just a new suburban, one of those 1942 models that were built and sold during the early months of the war, but it was driving thru Ash Fork in 1943."
