Nice writing of the realities of unemployment...I can remember some times, many years ago, when a can of beans was a treat...hopefully never again...James

Reminds me of the Van Gogh painting "The Potato Eaters".

This diet works and it doesn't cost a penny.
Good point, John.

Newly married in 1954, we survived on potatoes from my in-laws potato farm.  Our small northern Wisconsin city had no work openings, which is why we moved to Illinois in 1955.  There's a lot to be said for the nutrition in potatoes.

Hopefully, your line of work soon has an offering.
