I would sell the Wisconsin paper....

My parents saved some really significant newspapers and they got destroyed when the basement got flooded during a hurricane in 1992.

My 1979 CBX (4800 miles) was next door to a burning NAPA store and the firemen broke down my two doors at our business to flood the building with water. The Fire Department called me at 3am in the morning (hear that Hillary?) to come look my stuff. While I am watching, the NAPA store is half gone, aerosol cans (from NAPA) are still shooting in the air like rockets, and you guessed it, the CBX is covered with water along with my mint CB350. The fire hoses look like grey Boa Constrictors trying to eat my bikes.

The moral of the story is this; sometimes crap can can happen to your cherished things. Sometimes you should sell while you can get some $$ for that stuff.

I see you were ready, prepared and experienced as well to take that call. ;D
We'll all be someone else's PO some day.
