And my allergies are going nutzo right now! Yes, we're struggling right now and the general mood is one of "Well, what can you do?" I feel fortunate to have a good job, but working for a newspaper in this economy has been a struggle over the last couple of years, and I've seen some newsie lifers bail out of the industry. Sad, but inevitable I'm afraid. <br /><br />Uncle EUncle Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04570327775449916376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6743899.post-45168291088187140212010-10-12T03:27:48.392+13:002010-10-12T03:27:48.392+13:00Interesting about your observation about the reces...Interesting about your observation about the recession, which technically hit in Dec 2007, but not everyone felt it yet. the recession was technically over in June 2009, but LOTS of people aren't feeling it yet. <br /><br />have a good time!Roger Owen Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05298172138307632062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6743899.post-83367133049312894932010-10-12T03:11:37.264+13:002010-10-12T03:11:37.264+13:00Agree, dead on!

I'm dreading election day like I never have in my life. The hopeful promise of election night 2008 seems like but a fading memory, and a foolish one at that. <br /><br />Glad you had a good trip, though! Nice pics.<br /><br />AlanADDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14926713718402276984noreply@blogger.com
