History is not a straight line going from the beginning to the end, it loops and swirls eventually finding its way back to places its been before.  Don’t believe me, see for yourself.

Man, careful how far you click through on that one there, you could get lost for days.

History is repeating—duh—and I dug further proof out of my files while looking for the garage door warranty (Torsion spring still broken. No open for you.). The paper was yellowed and wrinkled, old, at least ten years, but I’d carefully preserved it, thinking it would retain its relevancy.

Unfortunately, I was right.

I give you Jonathan Clements’ “41 Ways to Accentuate the Positive” when the economy has gone to hell. Number eight is particularly apt for me: “You don’t feel sheepish anymore about owning mutual funds.” Or about having given the retirement accounts away in the divorce.
