<I got so productive that I can now voluntarily remove myself and my critical skills from the labor pool at the prime of my life!>

I did that! I recommend it. You'll like it. Anyway, there are plenty of people to pick up where the retired leave off. There are 1 billion people in India and another billion in China. Teach a few of them the tricks of the trade and they'd be thrilled to do the same.

Ideally, we'll all be retired. We'll wander down to the end of a car production line [or the car will just deliver itself to our door]. We'll get a new pair of skis delivered to an intersection on the way to the skifield. We'll stay in nice lodges, with all sorts of delicious foods prepared by food bots. One problem is that if too many people like skiing, it'll be more crowded than Oxford Street, London, on a sunny shopping day. It would be worse than queues at Disneyland. I suppose we'll have to reshape some of the Himalayas [and build 777 runways at 4000 metres altitude so we can land right near the skifields].

Looks like another golf day today: webcam.co.nz The sun's just coming up, the sky is blue. You can "select a camera" on the left side of the page to take a look around Kiwiland.

<Gotta love all that "productivity".>

LOL, the computer is basically my work tool... think I'll buy a new one... I need a raise! Greenspud says I'll make 30% more with the new one! I have a feeling he's right the way he's printing money, but who knows what it will really be worth... :)
