People always scream about the Great Depression ... anybody remember OCT 87? That crash was supposed to bring on a Great Depression too, but it didn’t happen.

An out of control car with a drunk driver swerves against the Jersey barricade on the freeway, fishtails, almost rolls, and by pure dumb luck regains control.

The lesson? Open up another bottle of whiskey, and sell the steering wheel and brakes. We're invincible! We're America! Nothing can ever wreck our economy! YeeHah!

Your books were prescient, IMO.

Is there a 3rd book any time soon?
