Byzantium's Shores: chronicling the misadventures of an overalls-clad hippie

An almost-certain war, deficits spiraling to scary levels, millions of citizens without health insurance, homeland security concerns, rising unemployment (including yours truly), an economy that is teetering on the edge of plopping right back into recession....
