Re my comments in last Friday’s issue about the correlation between wealth and happiness: 

“I attended a religious retreat years ago, given by a priest who had spent more than 30 years in the jungles of Brazil. Among the poorest people on Earth, he claimed. Yet, he told us, they were the happiest people he had ever met.

“By the way, I went to Paradise Palms. Amazing and beautiful.” – GM

Re my story in Tuesday’s issue about helping a guy out: 

“You paid the cops in cash. Do you think it’s possible that they kept the cash and, a few days later, impounded the poor man’s car?” – AS

My Response: Yes, I did think about that afterwards. Ugh! It would have been terrible if they did!
