Junk-aholic Juggernauts

Tao Quote of the day:

"Hoarders are destined for a great loss."

The first thing that comes to mind in reference to this quote is...DUH. If you are a collector like myself, you are an incurable hoarder in some form. My form has taken on a somewhat fluffy shape since I peaked at 40-ish. However, the things I hoard vary greatly in form and value. Some things I collect have little monetary value, but I think they're cool. so that's good enough for me; Junk like shoe horns, can openers, rocks. If the great hoard eliminator (tornado) breezed through our place I would succumb quickly to the pummeling I'd get from my own mélange of junk way before the twister itself ever reached its efficacious climax, robbing me of a justifiable conniption fit.

Being the junk-aholic juggernaut that I am I would soon find myself in retrogression, quickly replacing all my irreplaceable treasures. I would rebuild the family edifice with the inclusion of a rostrum for the antiquities literati to come pay homage to my collection of reclaimed refuse of days gone by.

So, the way I look at it, hoarders may be destined for great losses, but if they keep those insured values high and those deductibles low they can also be in for great compensation as well.
