I’m delighted to be writing over on 1500 Days to Freedom today and I hope you’ll head over there to check out my post about a tank piston, an aluminum valve handle, a popcorn air popper, and our marriage. After all, nothing says love like a Cold War relic.

Thanks! It was a fun one to write 🙂
I remember getting under my desk for air raid drills when in elementary school. And this was in the early 80’s.
I only had those when I lived on a base.
People think I’m weird when I say I remember those. Except the girl who’s school was next to a nuclear plant and would have drills where they had to take little pills and get on a bus…
Heading over now to read it. On a side note, congrats: you are the first ever personal finance blog to have “Soviet Tank Piston” in the title of a blog post 😛
Hah, thanks! The title was all Mr. FW’s idea and I do think it’s probably pretty unique in the field 🙂
I agree with DC 🙂 I have read many personal finance blogs and this is a first. I am definitely interested now in reading your post. Heading there now. Glad I found your blog.
Thanks! It’s definitely one of my favorite gifts of all time, and a great conversation starter with guests!
