Austerity

Austerity? Expensive cars chocking the approaches to Vilamoura, the yacht and seaside town. No austerity today, a man in an old Fiat was laughed off the road, probably a waiter on the way to work. No poverty no beggars only shampooed dogs with golden collars. And as always the poor, the silent majority, stayed in their howls, sun is exclusively for the perma- tan set in August.

Dear Jan, Some never feel a thing. and never stop or even think of moderation or charity. Oh yes, there's always the tax breaks and the $1 in the basket on Sundays to build a new gym. I am live comfortably, but some lifestyles make a person want to throw up into diamond studded wastebaskets. There are non self-serving generosities among their ranks and there are the blustery on all levels. Guess you already knew that. love, Kathy
