When Northwest airlines laid off a passel of people, on the way out the door they gave them a helpful pamphlet on how to live in poverty. One of the useful suggestions was about getting good things out of dumpsters.

Oddly, I am within 3 months of paying off a house I bought for $42,000 twenty years ago, and managed to actually resist going INSANE with LOW, LOW INTEREST RATES ON A NEW HOME during the boom, and instead decided to live within my means so that my tax money could ultimate bail out those who were greedier than I.

It was good to see that they referenced the geekiest car in the US today, the Honda Element. I have camped in mine for several weekends, and it worked well.

The Weinermobile is like the White Buffalo or the White Bull Reindeer. As we travel along the highway, we see it once in your youth, once in the prime of life, and once in old age. I’m just joking, but I have only seen it twice.

For a wagon that's not too old, you can't beat the Buick Roadmaster/Checvy Caprice (1990's)

I’ve only seen it twice. Once in college and once almost 50 years ago when it came to our little town of about 1800 residents and every kid got a weiner whistle. I still have mine. That wasn’t the biggest event to hit our little town, but it was in the top 3. I still remember it like it was yesterday and the utter shock of seeing an actual weinermobile in living color (in the age of b/w tv commercials) pull up to the school (none of us knew it was going to happen). We even got an extended lunch hour so we could go to the street and see the weinermobile up close. Now I need to go find my whistle....

When I got laid off I told the wife we should sell everything, buy a used school bus and hit the road. She didn’t buy it. I couldn’t get the gun safe through the door anyway.
