in 13 years with 30 years in the system (doh) I am eligible for 80 per cent of my salary per week. That amounts to my current take home pay after taxes and dues and medical plans and the new kitchen sink or whatever. Which isnt so bad.

If I should live so long. I'll be pushing books with a walker.

Not a pleasant sight.

So I'm hoping for another budget debacle in 5 years or so that would spur yet another early retirement incentive program that will add five years to my age or seniority after I qualify for retirement by age or longevity.

I dont need shades to look at my future anymore.

Just doin' time at bookbuster.

- 11 more months. Vote your conscience.
