Ok Kirk,......You made some good points..... former government workers in SF are "disabled" The whole disability thing has to be reviewed. Its abused far too much. I read a few weeks ago whereby 60% of the about to be retired NY police and fire department people qualify for early retirement benefits because of a disability??? Too Fat to work.......another disgrace......the only plus side to the matter is that obesity shortens a lifespan, and this could help the Social Security Program. Free phone or not, I'll stay a Yooper...and pass on that California hot weather and fine cuisine. I always tell the old folks around here....I don't believe in senior discounts....but I do think we should charge the oldtimers more (than others) because they have used up more the planets resources. I don't get invited to many senior dinners. Whats your take on the market these past few days? Lower gasoline prices which are a huge plus for the economy and we are seeing lower stock prices in response.
