We are rather recession-proof at this end.  Yeah, 
we have some debts, but nothing outrageous, and 
the impending inflation will allow us to pay off 
our bills in inflated currency.  I own a small 
chunk of Dominion resources, and that has lost 
25% or so of its value, but, what the hey!,  I'm 
not selling.  My wife's retirement accounts have 
been clobbered, but she's only 59, so there is no 
problem there, as she will not retire for quite a 
few years.  I drive an '84 Audi, paid for in cash 
15 years ago.  I'm not looking to improve my 
photographic holdings, although I would like to 
find a place in the manse to set up a darkroom.

I have been retired for three years, since that 
last titanic battle with the Virginia State 
Bar.  Its probably time I kicked in my ten-point 
veterans' preference and got a Gummit Job.  You 
have to be digitally aware to do this, as they 
now prefer that you submit your application in PDF format by e-mail.

No fancy cars, though I did come across a 1725 
Sunbeam Alpine V crank in our move two years 
back.  And I have a NOS 36-hp VW muffler available.
