Who knows, you might get 60 cents a pound for that aluminum pontoon of

Tim has a skill set that is more valuable is a bad economy than a good
one. People who can fix things will always be in demand when people
can't just buy a new one.

———- thanks for the compliment Greg. I try.

Harry my blue flyover state is already tanked. Midnight blue.

Odd you laugh about iillinois but you sure had your eye on Tammy Duckworth in the elections. Pull out Illinois and all you’ll have a deeper sinkhole.

Ms. Duckworth is terrific. And I don't laugh about Illinois, just the
flyover areas of the state that remind me of the same sorts of areas in
Indiana, Ohio, Iowa, and Nebraska. Been to all of them. I do like Chicago.

It figures that an urban dweller like you would blow off the beautiful
parts of a state to embrace the crime ridden, bankrupt, murder capital
of the midwest.

I've been in many parts of Illinois on various campaigns going back to
the 1970s. The part of the state bordering "the lake" is nice. What are
the other beautiful parts of Illinois? Joliet, East St. Louis? Kankakee?

(That's a rhetorical question)

Your problem is you don't get out of the city and don't have a clue
what you would do in a small town out in the country.
You really remind me of people I know from New York City who can't
imagine why anyone would want to go anywhere you couldn't get to on
"the train".

Your problem is that you keep projecting your ignorance into areas in
which you have almost no knowledge. I spent seven years living in and
exploring Kansas and Missouri, with many long side trips into the small
cities and towns of Oklahoma and Nebraska, and shorter trips into Iowa
and South Dakota. I was the AP Bureau Chief, stationed in West Virginia,
with coverage responsibilities for parts of Ohio and Kentucky. I lived
in Michigan for three years and extensively explored the state,
including the UP. Lived in upstate New York and spent lots of time in
dippy little towns there. Lived in Florida for some years, explored a
lot of it. Been to Colorado, Montana, Washington State, California,
cities and towns.

I know enough about "small towns out the country" to conclude I wouldn't
want to live in one. Yeah, I prefer living near a major city, with
first-rate museums, restaurants, doctors, theaters, shopping, schools,
et cetera.
