Read The Rest Scale: you want more numbers?  Look!  More charts, as well.

ADDENDUM, 7:45 a.m.: Another blogger in need.

Diane of cab drollery.

[...] I've even canceled my health insurance, praying that I wouldn't have any untoward accident or condition arise that would cost me more than $1,400 a month (my premium). So far I've been lucky in that respect, and I qualify for Medicare on August 1.

The short term, however, is disastrous. Last night I received my 3-day notice from the landlord. I will be out of cash and homeless very shortly if I don't come up with enough cash to show my landlord that I'm not a total flake. I need to raise $2,000 by Monday/Tuesday.

Please help if you can by clicking on the "Donate" button. If you don't like using PayPal, please email me at [...] and I'll give you other options. If you can't help right now with a donation to the care and feeding of a harmless old woman and her two cats, but you know someone who can, please alert them to my dilemma.

I don't know her. Yet.

(And what is it to "know" someone?)

But consider, please. I sent $5.

ADDENDUM, 8:03 a.m.: Thanks, Paul Krugman! Also interesting. Including:

[...] Because I am connected with so many aging writers (and particularly would-be writers) online, via blogs, Facebook, Twitter, and personal acquaintance, I'm particularly sensitive to the plight of the "creative Boomer type." And that plight is becoming acute on the fringes as the less provident, less lucky, and particularly the less healthy among us are beginning to feel the twin squeeze of age and a depressed economy.

Some might say that grey-haired, balding cat-lady copy-editors, fanzine editors, memorabilia collectors, not to mention has-been journalists and novelists working at Borders, contribute very little to modern society. On the other hand, in a country of dramatically shrinking industrial production and mechanized agriculture, who does, really?

Aren't we all just pushing virtual paper at each other? And shouldn't age-ism be treated just like racism in the cubicle world? After all, it's the fate of every single one of us eventually...

Word(s).

What goes around comes around.

While I'm busy, Avedon Carol is someone you should read.  Always brilliant, always great links, whether you agree, disagree, or Whatever.
