At our 10th High School reunion in 82, E.J. Stark walked into the banquet hall. He was the band leader. I was the first up to shake his hand.
A bunch of people were running to see one guy who they said looked like Tom Selleck. He was driving trucks for UPS and is likely retired long ago.
As for myself, I am still plugging away at the workshop. I get some significant SSD from Social Security, which is a good thing.
Now the next best thing would be to win a Grand Prize somewhere. That is still in the works.
In the City of Chicago, they make people register their bicycles so in case of theft and recovery by police it can be returned to its owner. But I know of no one who ever got their bike back once it had been stolen. The cops have bigger fish to fry than stolen bicycles.
BTW, when you register your property with the government, you give them an interest in that property. Then they can, and do, use your property as collateral on their debt.
This is a basic tenet of the commercial system we live under and in which we are all wage slaves. ;)
