  1.  @bulk_manifesto3624  I'm sure you do fine but I doubt I'd trade places with you. Do you have a climate and land you own and can grow anything from stone fruits to avocados?...create a personal private slice of food jungle paradise? How about a fine sports car and endless mountain/canyon roads to play on? Giant redwoods, gorgeous coastline plus 4k meter mountains? Endless wilderness where you can be entirely ALONE?? No desire to show off just to live WELL.

  2. I was an early adopter of cell phones simply because it was such a potent lucrative tool for my mobile business around 1991 ish....1st two I bought used (half price but still expensive) and were bolted onto truck transmission tunnel and about the size of a woman's fat purse, if you missed a call you missed it, no way to know who called and no answer system...we'd hook up the horn to the ringer and hope to catch the call in the field.
