What me worry ! And birds

First of all an explanation, that does not need one !If you haven't figured out yet that the way you get pictures is not always the same as the text they are with ? Give up birding. A brief discursing on the ecomony , a few birds and ..................
I hear a number of "educated people" running around on TV saying what will happen, we will all starve,I may have to lay off the nanny,(personally, or financially) we sold the aspen home and we have cut back to two cars, my portfolio has dropped 75.5%,I can't ameliorate my last quarter profits, and my offshore assets are frozen.I suggest you move your ass out of swiss banks, and stop eating swiss cheese while you are there then "there will be a free flow of your deposits" into other countries.
Just too funny. I caught a person on a late NY radio show explaining how to survive the crisis.
This almost made me die in Hysterics.

So enter the Roger world of personal economic crisis, and philosophy, maybe this will help you in some way.
I only realy owe the IRS and my land lord. Apart from a couple of statistical points way out side the norm. We ignore those as good statisticians. We have stayed pretty much broke, but comfy, and can pack up and move if necessary. Wealthy Gypsies ! The IRS, I needed that money in 1983 a Hell of a lot more than they did ! And my rent has been stable for 10 years, and my Landlord does not need the money "just pay it ,no problem" .
I have had several jobs, always cashed in my retirement as needed. Yanked my 401K plan, paid off my vehicles four years ago. Fool they cried. $800 a month payout reduction. 2 friends kept theirs. Zippo left.
AND THE MOST IMPORTANT FACT TO REMEMBER WHILST WEATHERING THIS ECONOMIC STORM ?
Is simple.
There are a Hell of a lot of people further up the food chain than you, that means some one is eventually going to say "Enough", before it really gets too ugly at my end and hopefully yours of the spectrum. Because who is going to explain that pookie can't live in the Hamptons and have the Jonas brothers over for Brunchies ? In the meantime print more money and keep bailing !
Life goes on in Blythe, we have bigger things to worry about, like parking for the fair. Regards Roger and russels . ps 35 Swainsons, in a new mown field on the way home.
