Downs Syndrome is an amazing thing.

Guess this means you're a very unhappy man.

How do you lose your home and shop at 78? Asking only because I’d like to not find myself in that position in 28 years. Please tell me it wasn’t because you bought a beach house at 50 and drank to excess?

Been renting the same place over 40 years (shop space with a yard for my travel trailer). Because of extraordinary property value increases in this area my landlady decided she will turn it into a luxury apartment.
