A cot? You get to sleep on a COT? grin

I sleep on the floor so I don't forget how, tile floor on a heavy cotton painter's tarp by an open window. Wool blanket season is creeping up. Every morning I get to practice getting up off the ground without handholds. No small thing for us old guys.

The biggest downside to my present situation is scrambling to leave something behind for my son and his daughter.

If'n I don't make to age 70 they get more'n a half-million dollars, if I do, he gets my house and prob'ly a used truck for sure, plus I contribute to his 401K.

All without gouging folks in time of panic.
