I was trying to give a quick discription without giving away the story

Good call, most Freepers have never heard of Atlas Shrugged, we don't want to give away the ending.

Sheesh!

I bought Atlas Shrugged at a used book sale but have not had time to read it. Guess I have to get busy!

I got the "opportunity" to retire in '07. I took it because if you don't.....well everyone knows what happens in that situation. I'm doing okay but the time will come when I have to go back to work. My house is paid for, I have no debt and really work hard to avoid or minimize my tax hit. Don't drive when I don't have to. combine errands if I do. Go to the next county over to buy groceries (5 mile vs 11 mile to go to city.)

The feds, state and city are going to gag when they realize that my income went to almost nothing. Makes me smile!
