Friday 10/29 - The Bill

$800,000.00

That would buy over 400,00 gallons of gasoline. At 25 miles per gallon, that would be a million miles. Or about 40 trips around the earth at the equator.

It would buy 1.1 million tacos from Taco Bell.

It would buy 3.2 million cans of Diet Coke.

It would also buy a fixer-upper in Ladue Missouri. Servant quarters extra.

It did buy Kathleen 2 months at St. John's Mercy Medical Center plus numerous doctors, technicians, labs reports and equipment.

I just wrote the last check (unless someone ELSE decides to bill me) to pay them what the insurance company would not.

But it didn't buy any of us any real happiness.
