“That’s really it, isn’t it? We never know what’s coming — all we know, from experience, is that when it comes, we’ll figure something out. It’s with varying degrees of success, but that’s also okay. The figuring out is part of why life is so rewarding.” Carolyn Hax
Dan, you mentioned Toledo. I am reading “Gales of November” by John Bacon. Toledo is mentioned as being the glass city in its day. Fantastic book
and while it’s about the sinking of the Fitz, there is a lot of financial information about shipping on the the Great Lakes. Happy Holidays to everyone and their families.
The world we are leaving our grandchildren. I know living in this world has always been hard. But the hatred and lies thrown at science, education, and the political system is just so unnecessary and harmful in my opinion.

Totally agree with your essay. I have a nephew who only care what the monthly payments are when he purchases something. I honestly don’t get it.

So sorry. I feel that humble dollar was always more about wisdom than money and that is because of Jonathan.

I can see your point Dennis; however, my life has been a random walk in the universe.
