My sixty year old neighbor who moved here from Miami; new house, brand new
BMW, all the stuff; recently had a devastating stroke. His boyfriend can't
find his money, even with private investigators. He has already sold his car
for him, he (my neighbor) will be losng his house. He is walking , but still
can't talk. The boyfriend says he has the early signs of 'sun-downerns' and
will have to go to a care-home.

The boyfiend has moved in to help as much as possible. They think he has a
ton of money somewhere. I have no idea, he hasn't been here long enough for
wife and I to become real friendly. He blew into Phoenix , loaded, less than
two years ago. Now, to a not-so-bright ending. We all can be humbled by
means beyonfd our control........bobford

p.s. I still say that actual 'hard-working' middle class (or what-ever
label) will be hurt more than those who bought Ship's bell Clocks from
Tiffany's on Credit
