A card game happened here , last night. this group is an older crowd , or oldish. Four retirees , 2 - forty year olds , a sixty something and a fifty odd guy. Very sedate , 8 guys drank 6 beers. Food was pizza , fruit tray and veggie platter. Got to have that roughage.
The World Weekly , by the numbers. not bad this week
The Arctic Shipping Rush:

Are you middle class ? In 1991 , people said by poll , compared to 2012
INDICATOR 1991 2012
Home Ownership 70 % 45 %
2 cars or more 48 %
College Education 46 % 37 %
Stocks , investment 41 % 28 %
White collar Job 33 %
Health Insurance 66 %
Secure Job 86 %
I knew we were middle class. I still claim we are part of the 10 %
definitely not the 1 %. There is no middle class in the sense that the middle class represent the bulk of people.
Weather is sunny and warm , mayhaps an ideal summer day.
Well , I'm cleaning up the poker room , and resuscitating
BTW - I won , for the first time in 3 games I think
