Hang on:  gotta get some music going....  Ah, much better.  Went with Vivaldi this morning.
    There is the tale of the Penny Jar, and I am not sure I can do it justice, but it goes something like this:  In the first year one is married, put a penny in a jar every time one makes love.  After the first year, take out a penny for the same reason.  The jar will never be empty, or so the tale goes.
    Now--me--I've had a hard time from keeping the jar from over-flowing--change tends to cascade across every level surface of the house in a cataract of silver, nickel and copper.  I may not be adept, but I am adroit, ...or so I am told(But moreover what I believe to be true).  We red-heads tend to be... uh,... more passionate than most, to put it in the most polite way.
    But what is more important is the spending of the money.  It has to be spent, or the world will come to a stand still.  This is the Paradox of Thrift.  If you save money, there is no money to spend, and the economy will just collapse.  Money has to keep moving.
    I'm not saying empty your savings accounts;  all I'm saying is empty the penny jars, and share the wealth.  Put money back into the economy.
    But the best part of this plan is filling up the jar again.  (Giggle).

Rage, rage,...
