The economy all around me is sinking..I have friends in business that have sold, closed long term businesses..The domino effect caught up to them...Their customers are unable to pay the invoices..and are carried as long as possible...banks will not support long term customers because the future looks dim..

Music venues are backing off....Club owners think nothing of cancelling bands if they think it will be a slow night because of weather (they seem to forget it is a 52 weeks a year business)...not like we see bonuses when we play to packed houses...

The folks that are doing well..seem to be politicians...in fact they continue to give themselves raises....

Where is Sarah?..I know she would have done a better job...
