Topeka shows us the future of law enforcement (and it ain't pretty), Alan Grayson kicks some dweeb ass, and a site of interest if you use an anchor...
It's hard these days living and cruising on a blue collar budget. Sure, rum and Pastis are still cheap but have you seen what beer is going for these days in paradise (and we are not talking good beer either)? It gets worse. In yesterday's news feed I noticed that peanut butter is about to go up 40% or so across the board due to the more than doubling of wholesale peanut prices...
... And it's not just food! Basic boat stuff keeps getting more and more expensive while at the same time some island nations are getting quite creative coming up with ways to separate cruisers from their hard earned money.
I mean what's a poor boy to do?
In a way I see it as a challenge and the whole idea of living a comfortable and excellent lifestyle on a budget is a game I can win. You might say living as well or better than those with lots and lots of money is its own reward!
We just have to get creative. The good news is smart trumps money all the time.
I'd write more but I have to go stock up on peanut butter...
