How buying a lawn mower in Argentina led me to write a "storyline" for Atlas Shugged IV

I recently bought a lawn mower on line in Argentina. I was so impressed with the way the seller conducted business I gave him a plug on the baexpat.org website even before the delivery was made. The mower actually arrived yesterday and I used it for the first time today and was a wonderful example of how "made in the USA" still means something (Briggs and Stratton motor).

In post 11 of the linked thread a fellow expat posted a great photo with the caption "Steve getting his lawn ready for the apocalypse." It was followed by another post by a member who is not a fan of Ayn Rand (or me, either).

His comment about the motor being "fueled by gold" led me to reply that the photo is a still from the future film "Atlas Shrugged IV."

My "storyline" can be found in post #15 of the thread. Many of my "serious" posts in the baexpat forum deal with the issues I incorporated into the story line. There ae a few expats who agree with me, but there are clearly more who don't, including one who wrote that anyone who agrees with that "Ayn Rand rubbish" should not be allowed to post.
