Dichotomy of the Belt Buckle

Nevada turned 150-years-old on Halloween. I would love to buy myself one of those silver cowboy belt buckles that commemorates the anniversary.

I bought one when the state was but 125-years-old in 1989.

As I wrote this down, I realized the dichotomy of the situation and found myself chuckling. That’s because I realized due to the economy, I can’t afford to buy one and yet I’m not yet so broke that I have to sell the one I already own.
