We are always faked out by a warm snap and rain storm. Today we watch the rain and warm air-fog daze us into a false sense of spring. Spring forward tonight before you go to bed. We will take what light we can get. It makes me feel like having a fire in the fireplace and reading all the magazines I collected for my recovery period. I am ready for a good book though. Any tips? Something with a good story.
As we face more lay offs in the US and hear all the news on the air waves it is difficult to imagine where the world will be in a few years. I hope our future generations are learning from our mistakes and mis-spending. It is a double edged sword. If we save we stop commerce. If we spend what we do not have we will find ourselves in bankruptcy and living in tent town. The TV financial "experts" have lied to us and told us to invest, invest and spend even while our credit cards were over limits and costing us more and more interest. Now we have bailed out banks who have the nerve to raise fees and interest rates on us? They should be paying us a percentage of the $6,000 per household we loaned or gave them to bail them out. Finally the curtain is being raised and the financial-OZ is a bad person. But you will not be reading about it in news papers in the near future because they can not afford to print. It is amazing to me how the world is changing right in front of us. Hang on to what is important and support your local businesses. They need it now and we can survive this turmoil by helping our neighbors. In that there is hope.
