12 hours a day, seven days a week

That is the taxi biz. Today I worked 11 hours and grossed $109. Out of that I pay dues to the company and buy gasoline and put aside money to re-pay the childrens inheritance of the capital required to get in this fascinating business. If I ignore the capital costs (forget about a maintenance account) then I earned about five bux an hour.

Hi David and family,

For some reason, I was wondering how you were doing. I've been retired since 1999, and after discovering that driving a bus made me unfit for other, or rather any, employment, I finally cut back on spending and activities: For awhile I walked downtown, and, now, my leg has deteriorated and I either limp with a cane, or without. --wasn't keen on jogging anyway.

The banks stopped taking California IOU's and I suppose PERS is next. I'm making plans: recently joined an anarchist discussion group. We spent five hours on a post-modern digression on the implications and publications of the French semi-revolutionaries, called the Tarnac 9 -- named after a village in France... not a misspelling of tarmac road-balsam. Their web site contains a manifesto called, "The Coming Insurrection." The problem is: I'm happy and see life and beauty all around; what kind of change is that for a cynic

I imagine if you can survive in Louisiana, you can get by anywhere. Good luck and Good Fortune,
