If they fired me at the end of the week, there'd be some belt-tightening, but I could survive on my pension, and could stand to lose some weight. All I've done is bitch them out online: I haven't pulled a Snowden (and have not in any event that kind of access to twitchy info). I still think that I'm too much trouble to fire. But I thank you for your concern, which I realize proceeds from a much deeper level of acquaintance with the operations of the brutal authoritarian state to which our respective citizenships are attached.

cordially,
