That income looks pretty good. Where do I apply? At least I'd be able to eat at McDonald's. I guess Starbucks wasn't around then. Coffee would be $100 a pound. Too bad they're losing money right now. I wonder if it has anything to do with the price of the foo-foo coffees?

Looks like the Dow Jones is trying to get back there. Was that started by Tony Dow of Leave It To Beaver?
