Back when we still had fun at work, we'd all go out to lunch on Fridays, and there was a downtown area with two competing Thai restaurants. One had a buffet in which they labeled each item. The mildest label was "very hot", followed by "blazing hot", "nuclear", and "scorched earth".
Scorched Earth is where I would be piling my plate.

This is from an article about the Dow hitting 20,000.

"One survey from Bankrate found that 54% of Americans have no money in the stock market. That means no money in pension funds, 401(k) retirement plans, IRAs, mutual funds or ETFs. And they certainly don't own individual stocks like Apple, Ford or Tesla."

I wonder what the stats are for DRCers.

I've got the 401 thing going.
I don't expect to live to a very old age, so I'm not sure how much to worry about it.

There were several years during the recession that I didn't bother opening my statements. I had all of the shares, but I didn't want to know what they were worth. It's bounced back, but was grim for a while.

Went to one of those upscale pet supply shops in the Old Port, Portland Maine, and among the hundreds of unique items they had there was this

Figured that would be a great name for a metal band.
