[Leica] Would you trade your M9 to go back to an M8?

[mark at rabinergroup.com (Mark Rabiner)]

When I graduated from college and started my first studio in downtown
Portland I worked in a hospital on weekends as  a physical therapy orderly
to pay the bills. It took several years before I was able to quit that job.
It was 1977 ( Jimmy Carter) and I found out later there was a recession. No
one told me. I was broke anyway. I never had more than seven bucks in my
wallet.
 The problem I had was not being broke it was being stupid.
And I think that carries over to the way people eat. Its not money but
brains that defines your diet. Nutrition and home economics needs to be
taught and to the boys too.
