Season's Greetings...

Merry Christmas. Happy Hanukkah.
Like many, I'll again make a stand against consumerism in this somewhat silly season of conspicuous consumption.
Yesterday in this little country of New Zealand, consumers created a new retailing record by making one hundred and forty eight sale transactions a second. And in doing so, many put themselves further into a debt spiral they won't recover from.
I send wishes of love and goodwill to you all...

You Can Never Have Too Many Carparks Says Boston's Lisa Blumenthal After Spending $560,000 For Another Two...

You can never have too many carparks says Boston's Lisa Blumenthol.
She's recently paid $560,000 at auction for two weed bordered carparks behind her palatial home on Commonwealth Avenue.
Which already has three carparks.
Now she has five and that's a nice round number but will they be enough if some friends call in.
And is enough ever enough...
