Don’t overlook “How to Make Your Money Last” by Jane Bryant Quinn. A good overview of the nuts and bolts of retirement.

You are correct, but public opinion is so out of wack on this topic that it is hard to have a rational conversation.

Several years ago I was involved in a zoning process in a rural county with many active farms on it. Coincidently, someone else was trying to build an abattoir to process horse meat. This is absolutely an allowed use in an agriculturally zoned area, and the developer just needed what should have been an automatic approval. Long story short, the county turned down the approval and more-or-less said “sue us.” So even though it was legal in fact, public opinion made it illegal.

As I recall, the abattoir was being developed to process horse meat for export.

Watched my neighbors house in Houston when they were visiting the UK, and they offered to bring back something as a thank you. I asked for a box of loose Yorkshire tea. They thought this was pretty funny since it is the American equivalent of asking for a six-pack of Budweiser Beer. But you know, sometimes those mass-market products are just perfect.

Let me understand, you got the hen, the chicken and the rooster. The rooster goes with the chicken. So, who's having sex with the hen?

The price of gasoline in 1962 was $0.31 a gallon. In real dollar terms, that is probably more than the $2.55 I just paid today. People think of the 1960’s as a golden era of muscle cars and cheap gasoline, but gasoline has almost always been incredibly cheap in the US. And yet few people would ever believe that statement.

True. If you do a plot of Taco John locations in the USA, however, you will see a map of where people don’t live in the country. I love Taco John BTW, but they only seem to be in very isolated places.
