Quote from: REMy circumstances now are the result of an amputated leg and a broken neck. They have nothing to do with the fun I had when I was young (and middle aged). Without the disabilities, I'd be quite happy living on my SS & Pension. I'd probably be sailing the Sloop JohnB around the Society Islands.I am familiar. Accidents along the way, hiccups in the normal chain of events are one thing. Compression fractures of the spine, amputations, etc etc. How was the Sloop JohnB going to work out on SS and a pension? Heck, how were DOCKING fees going to work out with just those?
