the past in box form

Do you remeber all of the things that you dutifully collected and saved as a child, sure in the knowledge that it would be worth a fortune by the time you grew old?  Yeah, me too.  What the hell am I supposed to do with 30 lbs. worth of baseball cards and two crates full of well-thumbed comics?  Also, why aren't they worth the fortune that I was led to believe it would be; I've got a #287 x-men comic that I thought was going to pay for my first house here...

day # 517

Last night I had a dream about the difference between the words eccentric and insane (spoiler: it's wealth).  There was one guy building a nuclear bomb shelter in his back yard, which is just insane.  There was another (rich obviously) guy building a complete stone castle to help fend of the coming zombie hordes, which is of course a bit eccentric in the main, but what else should rich people spend money on?
