You (Ezekiel) told me:

No, I'm buying, anywhere you want to eat/drink,
anywhere you want to go (in Seattle).
Cruise Lake Washington and Elliot Bay, on me.

I'd let you stay with me for free too, for a few nights;
but you probably would _not_ like the cigarette smoke.

Sadly, I get too excited about _planned_ travel,
-- I wouldn't be able to sleep the night(s) before --
so I get motion sickness; it's _really_ bad.

But, were I well rested, 
and I had to be "there" (wherever you are) _right_now_,
I could hop on a plane and be there, no motion sickness.

> DFS, you're welcome to join anytime.

I too would welcome him, but I'd lecture him about 
the benefits of "collective efforts" (socialism)
the same way I lecture my antiCapitalist friends
on the benefits of capitalism.

I give proCapitalists lecture _a_lot_,
because I've so many antiCapitalist friends.

> I have a few friends that most people would view as strange/weird/out-there.

I'm friendly, but I dress like a slob,
I don't give a shit what people think of me;
I love to be alone, posting to Usenet, programming, etc.

Your tax money supports winos, heroin addicts and the like.
But don't forget: Rich Capitalists, like you, are hedonists too.

Back when I had food stamps, I had just $25/month, after paying rent.
I was very happy then; I even had a puppy and a cute, 
90lb, 18 year old, former gymnist girl living with me.  

I had to get rid of her because people assumed the worst.

DFS is _not_ one of those, I assure you;
but that's his disaster, not mine.

And for heroin, beer, etc.

I told my musician, heroin addict friend: <<

  The _only_ difference between Jerry Garcia and a wino:

    Money.  >>

He replied: <<

  And an abundance of realized musical and creative talent.  >>

I replied:

  Sure, that's how he got his money, $2.9 million a year.
  He worked hard to pay _attorneys_ and spousal/child support;
  to wit:

Quoting:

December 20, 1996

  An accountant for Jerry Garcia's estate is expected 
  to testify Friday that Carolyn "Mountain Girl" Garcia 
  was entitled only to a $1 million divorce settlement 
  - not the $5 million cash the Grateful Dead guitarist 
  agreed to give her.

  Both sides in the acrimonious dispute over the estate 
  continued to trade accusations Thursday in Marin 
  Superior Court during the second week of the trial.

  Carolyn Garcia, the second wife of the famous rock 
  musician and mother of two of his daughters, is 
  seeking to get her $5 million agreement reinstated. 
  After Jerry Garcia died of a heart attack in August 
  1995 at a drug rehabilitation center, his third wife, 
  Deborah Koons Garcia, cut off all payments to Carolyn Garcia.

  "The real issue of this case is that no one ever told 
  Jerry Garcia there was a difference between community 
  and separate property," said Richard Schiller, a 
  forensic accountant who has been delving into Jerry 
  Garcia's finances for the last three months. "Nobody 
  was properly advising him of the fundamentals of 
  family law."

  Schiller, who was scheduled to be called Thursday as 
  a witness for the estate but will be called Friday 
  instead, discussed his views outside court.

  The San Francisco accountant, who also has 
  represented musician Sammy Hagar, said Carolyn and 
  Jerry Garcia's estate was worth $2 million when they 
  separated in December 1990. He said this means she 
  would have been entitled to $1 million, plus spousal 
  and child support.

  Carolyn Garcia's attorney, David Phillips, has said 
  Jerry Garcia asked Carolyn Garcia to draft an 
  agreement to settle their affairs because he was 
  frustrated by the slow progress being made by their 
  divorce lawyers.

  Other highlights of Thursday's hearing in which Jerry 
  Garcia's longtime attorney, David Hellman, took the stand:

  -- It was revealed that Deborah Koons Garcia sought to 
     remove Hellman as co-executor of the estate.

     She alleged that Hellman had not advised her late 
     husband that he was entitled to tax benefits on 
     $300,000 in child support payments, which ultimately 
     cost him $450,000. She later withdrew her petition to 
     remove Hellman after a document was discovered in the 
     files of _another_ of Garcia's attorneys, showing that 
     Garcia agreed to file joint income tax returns and 
     pay the taxes.

  -- Hellman testified that shortly after Jerry Garcia's 
     marriage to Deborah Koons Garcia, she asked Jerry 
     Garcia to pay for a $1 million remodeling job on her 
     house. Hellman testified Jerry Garcia didn't have the 
     money so the remodeling work was never done.

  -- Hellman testified that Jerry Garcia's income between 
     1990 and 1993 grew from $1.6 million a year 
     to $2.9 million a year.

  -- Deborah Koons Garcia said outside court that Jerry 
     Garcia's estate is worth $6 million to $7 million. 
______________________________________

Like Jerry, "PewDiePie" has 39 million YouTube subscribers,
millions more than anyone else.

He made $7.5 million last year; I bet he makes 9 million this year.
http://bgr.com/2015/07/06/how-much-money-does-pewdiepie-make/

What does he do ?  He posts videos of himself, playing video games.

Is he a bum, or what ? !  Jerry too.
