This response is to TTJ, not Attila.
Really have had my fill of your prodigious gab. fully convinced you are arbiter of what makes a life worth living. What life have you lived? Have family members with far more solicitor (Ironic term for an attorney) bonefidas. Dartmouth, Columbia law, white house internship. Another 2nd in their class UCLA law, oil attorney in Houston. Hell, my own attorney successfully litigated against big oil in the Exxon Valdez tragedy. All three are highly talented born and raised Californians who hate their jobs because they are overworked due to their skill level. BTW, Frankly I look forward to losing all my money so I can surf and travel the beautiful beaches of Mexico by cheap motorcycle sleeping outside on beautiful beaches, eating far healthier and less expensive food, cheap beer tequila and mushrooms until I go out in a blaze of glory in a knife fight in a rowdy cantina. Compare and contrast to your life as an internet message board blowhard and two bit ambulance chaser. But a person who did not grow up recreating in the densest concentration of right hand point breaks anywhere could ever comprendo. The bar fight joy stuff from having a father who entered the military as a second class scrub and left with generals having to salute him first, And a cousin who gave up a USC football schollie and future NFL career to fight for the USofA, serving under Patton in the battle of the bulge. Both Born and raised Californians. Where you from anyway, somewhere with cool "seasons"? Thrilling. Surfed and the snowboarded the world as a pauper. Entertained by english baroness in malaga, lived for years in non-english speaking 3rd world countries. Inherited money from dear friends because I was taught to value and nurture friendships instead of a life of myopic competing, and rat racing. also the reason I even spend anytime on this board anymore. So if the market takes all my cash that's my f***ing business - not yours, and what escapes your comprehension, is, maybe I will enjoy it. you seem to be a cultural aficionado? as Donald Fagan so poignantly crooned, "They call Alabama the crimson tide - call me deacon blues.
