Thanks, I think I have it figured out now.
Literal, anyway. Thanks.
And a great night and good weekend to you.
If you served in our armed services, thank you for that service. Happy Veterans Day.

I know who Bob Seger is, but I'm not all that familiar with his music and didn't catch the reference at first. However, I like Seger Ellis.
I noticed in their last issue of their newsletter, that Colonsay Gaelic is dying out and they want to conserve it.
Back in the mid-1980's, a musician who had just returned from the Hebrides said that although the islands have a rich musical heritage, the young people there were forsaking it for the music of Michael Jackson, and it broke his heart. Here's hoping that the generation that has grown up since those days is rediscovering it.
I live comfortably (for certain values of comfort) here in Texas for about $500 a month.

“This begs the question.. Anyone think the Socialists will hijack IRA’s in the next four years?”
Interesting that you mention that.
I just had lunch today with a friend, and I gave him my take on how the left will go after IRA’s and 401k’s.
It would just be too blatant for the ‘rats to outright nationalize retirement accounts (wasn’t this or something very similar just done down Argentina’ way?).
No, they’re going to let you “keep” your retirement accounts.
With a few minor “modifications”, of course.
I predict the ‘rats are going to do the following:
1. An “assets tax” on retirement wealth. The rationale will be that the government is hamstrung from dealing with the debt problems we face because the revenue it would otherwise raise on income has been “sheltered” in retirement accounts. Thus, the government will impose a small “assets tax” of, say, 3 to 4% annually on all funds held within 401k and IRA accounts. Individuals will be required to file and pay based on 1099’s submitted by banks and financial institutions, the same as is done now with such things as interest and dividends. The tax will be low — for now. This will not preclude the tax you pay when you withdraw from your account, which will be considered “income” (as it is under current law). So why not just withdraw it all?
2. To “prevent sudden financial upheavals”, the government will impose a yearly limit on individual withdrawals from 401k’s and IRA accounts. Let’s say they limit you to $10k-15k annually. This will ensure that there remains a large cache of savings to guarantee that the “assets tax” (see above) will continue to produce.
I should be working for the dems, hehe.
But you begged to be answered, so I did.
You can’t beat your enemy unless you can think “like him” first, and then OUTthink him.
..............My Mother’s family came from Colonsay and Oronsay in the Inner Hebrides...............
I believe that my surname, Spence, came from the other northern islands of Scotland, the Shetlands..
Had never considered retiring there - I must check that out!!
Thanks
When in Alpine, eat at the Cowboy Grill west of town. Great food.
Go down fighting. Surrender and submit, never. Walk by faith in God no in fear of man. Fantasy island is for DONKEYS.
Believe it or not, he didn’t have a smile on his face. He found the place disgusting. He suggests Panama. Says to stay north of the canal. They are prosperous and the terrain is lovely.
Thats funny. But that was filmed off of Lima so whoever did that video was determined and resourceful!
Recently in Alpine and had dinner at the excellent Reata. I always stop by the Reata but next time I will look up Cowboy Grill around June. Thanks!
