   I ended up with a bloody nose from it.

   Oh, I have other suggestions for those with extreme wealth, also. Go back to 1950’s level taxes, where the top earners are paying 90%. That and strong unions gave us an economy that allowed a strong middle class.

   How about this: since we have so many “originalists” on the Court and in Congress, we go back to what was originally intended for Congress pay… since it wasn’t intended for “politician” to be their sole job, they were paid, in 1789, $6 for each day they attended a session. The equivalent today, adjusted for inflation, would be $211.59 a day, but they only get paid if they are present in session.

   Agree. That’s the whole reason we’re looking forward to another one… when we can afford it.

   Ours was Bordeaux, French wine region. And we almost agree about no more ocean cruises. Viking does offer bigger ship ocean cruises, but the most alluring thing to me still applies… adults only.

    My wife and I have been on one open ocean Carnival cruise and one Viking river cruise. I much prefer the Viking cruise. Smaller ship, less motion, no one under 18 on the trip, fantastic food themed around the region you’re cruising in.
