You don't hear they sold a lens to buy shoes. I hope and am very optimistic that most of us can stay out of such dire circumstances. I had beans and rice tonight for dinnner like I usually have this year. Some nights I don't have money for some tomato stuff to go over it. Tonight I did it cost me a dollar and sixty cents I splurged and it was well worth it I felt like ate like a King. Once in a while I run a bit short at the end of a month and I have rice no beans. Next month my retirement kicks in I'll be taking a Learjet to the 21 club and eating a hundred dollar Veggie burger for lunch; who knows? I think it will translate to I get to see some movies. We'll see. I'm hoping I have a rare blood type and they can hook me up. I could sell one of my 90's and spend some a month or so able to go to sidewalk caf?'s which I have to most the time walk by but you know what? I'm just going to wait in it. I've not had to deal with hunger and I'm very aware on how much that means. I own some very nice Leica gear to me at this point that Leica gear is not money in the bank. That's my Leica gear. I could sell chair I'm sitting on now my laptop my IKEA bed. I'm happy I'm not being put in that position. [Rabs] Mark William Rabiner
