> What with the payments on my 80 foot yacht (not to mention the docking fees, etc. in Saint Lucia) and the upkeep on my vacation homes in Goa (India) and Gan (Maldives), I really don’t “splurge” on anything. It’s hard enough maintaining the G4, paying the various servants (cook, housekeeper, groundskeeper, pilot, driver, masseuse, valet, etc.) and making sure the robot has enough nuclear fuel that I really don’t have all that much left over at the end of the month to just go out and do something nice for myself.

To the OP: is it okay if I jump track for just a minute?  
Damn you, **Snowboader Bo**. I just got off Facebook where, in one of my groups, an old hanger-outer said something about going to the quarry and I just had to ask, “Did you throw sumpin’ in it?”  
Now, tomorrow, I’m gonna hafta 'splain.
