You know, I worked with an older gentleman around 9/11 (he was mid-70's then) and he said 'Kid, I've seen the best of times, and this ain't it'...

I believe him...

I feel bad for the younger folks. I'm past the worrying stage in my life. My wife is retired with an income. My kids are grown and my house is payed for. We don't have an extravagant lifestyle and other than fishing I just work a lot. The kids with little ones are the ones I worry about including my kids and grandkids. This isn't going to turn around quickly.

No boat, back in the suds.
