Well dam* it all, that's why we don't have any o' them purty redwood trees here in Tombstone. Not enough cars! Not enough smog!

Which leads into my current crusade to proclaim the wonders of <$5,000 autos. So many to be had for $3,000 or so, add new tires and a bit of work and you're off again for another 100,000 miles. Found a 2004 Cadillac DeVille sedan a few months ago, and recently a 1997 Chrysler Sebring JXI convertible, with its For Sale sign parked outside our local psychic shop. The car line on my palm said 'buy', and so I did. Longer term, am on the lookout for a 2001 Toyota Avalon sedan with less that 65K miles. Maybe the best car ever made, boring, but that's nice when you are 78.

This financial wizardry can also apply to cameras. I'll bet you can get a very nice used K-5 IIs for about $200 right now. And as the old song goes, 'Who could ask for anything more?'
