Despite the economic hard times, there are some very wealthy people here, but most of them are too tightfisted to spend money on a pan that costs so much that you could save $100 on it! Most of the truly wealthy here live in little houses in older neighborhoods, driving crappy cars and dressing in crappy clothes. I'm serious! I know A NUMBER OF people here worth millions who live like that by choice because they're simply stingy. Expensive pans won't sell here, even to the wealthy. Those here who buy such things are what our rich people refer to as 'nickel millionaires.' Those are people with middle class incomes who try to make people think they're wealthy by living above their means. Used to be a fairly large number of them, but not many of them left now, though! -- Chris Crawford Fine Art Photography Fort Wayne, Indiana 260-437-8990 http://www.chriscrawfordphoto.com My portfolio http://blog.chriscrawfordphoto.com My latest work! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Christopher-Crawford/48229272798 Become a fan on Facebook On 10/11/11 10:01 PM, "Howard Ritter" <hlritter at bex.net> wrote: > Bleakness, yes.
