Some say the world will end with fire.

Others say with ice.

From what I've tasted of desire

I hold with those that favor fire.

But if I had to perish twice,

I think I know enough of hate,

To say that for destruction ice,

Is also great and would suffice.

WHO IS COUNTING

I just checked my retirement calculator and it is down to 6,285,383 seconds left before I retire. To keep this in perspective I will have been working for 1.2 billion seconds in the 39 years I have worked when I retire. That is 0.0012% of a trillion - just wanted to make you think a little about how much money we have spent in the bail out this year---I can't even think that high!!!!!

I can say and spell trillion though, just like our politicians.
