Don - I'm still watching original Twilight Zone episodes. Think I'm towards the end of S2. Anyway, there was an episode few days ago where a group steals a bunch of gold, then put themselves into suspended animation for 100 years. When they wake up, they find gold can be manufactured and is worthless. I predicted that ending.

Yup, that's it. It's also interesting to see so many well-known actors in the series at the beginning of their careers.

ive been trying for years to get a larger safety deposit box at the bank. Mine holds a paltry 55k.

Looking up options for cash storage I noticed that storing cash in safe deposit box is often explicitly against bank policy and is not insured in any way. Is this a surprise to this audience or just another known risk? Is it advisable to find a bank that does not prohibit it (even though they should not know if that's what you are storing)? I have read stories about theft of valuables from boxes.

It's a case of don't ask, don't tell. I think you'll have trouble finding a bank that doesn't prohibit cash in their safe deposit boxes. As far as risk of theft, I consider it extremely unlikely. However, beware of private boxes from a non-bank. There was a problem (theft) with one such place in Vegas a few years ago.

There was indeed a problem in Vegas, and my recollection is that it was significant. As far as safes in the house (not those safes), I would suggest a model that bolts to the basement (concrete) floor. Other smaller safes can easily be hauled out of your house - broken into at leisure.

Congrats, Zee. You did it! Wasn't that hard to learn something new, was it?

Next step for Zee indoor plumbing.

Don - Just watched another excellent Twilight Zone epise - season 3, "once upon A Time," with Buster Keaton. Very whimsical and clever the way the part that took place in 1890 was done as a silent movie.

Just read the synopsis. although I surely saw it as the original back in 1961, I must admit that I don't remember this one.
