Wally Lunchbucket was never going to buy a $250,000 boat, but the

of people are "payment buyers", and make decisions whether to buy or
not buy a major item based less on the price than on whether the
monthly payment is affordable.
Interesting. ?Maybe because I only spent about half a year on the west
coast I never met a Wally Lunchbucket.
Around here I know plenty of guys called Joe Sixpack.
Ever heard of him?

Joe is Wally's kissin' cousin. 'Cept of course Joe and Wally don't
kiss- at least not in public unless they're in San Francisco or
Seattle. :-)

Wally's brothers, Joe and Johnny Lunchbucket are probably mentioned
more frequently than Wally. Disheartening news is that with fuel dock
prices already in the $4.50 range and headed for $5, none of the
Lunchbucket brothers will be racing out to buy a new boat anytime
soon. That impacts everybody who owns a boat and hopes to sell it
someday as well as all of the folks who sell new or used boats for a
living.



Please...the Lunchbucket family has been working at Wal-Mart and 7-11 as
a result of the Bush Administration's eagerness to export U.S.
manufacturing jobs to the Pacific Rim and Mexico and Central and South
America.

Harry, Harry, there are some good places for your political attempts. Isn't
your septic tank about empty now?
