More thoughts for the future

After listening to the president last night I can see how difficult it will be to pick this economy up and move it forward. There is still to much petty bullshit in congress and the senate to fully realize it is not about the republicans and the democrats but about the american people and the future of this great country. In the near term I firmly believe that the economy will get pretty ugly. Even worse than what Elkhart, Indiana is now going through. Imagine that same scenario playing out in every city in the country. If the politicians can't get on the same road as the president wants to lead us down, then we are in for a very,very,long hard time. That is all I have to say about this for now. Let us watch and see what comes about. Peace Catmandon P.S. How about the idiot who asked the question about A-Rod's steroid use. What friggin planet is he from. Talk about the important issues. What the hell is up with that?

cold and snowing in Vermont

Good morning everyone, I am off to finish splitting the last two cords of wood for the winter. It is ten degrees and snowing. Good for Mt. Snow ski resort and the local economy. When it snows everybody is in a great mood. Resturant staff, snow plowers, ski area, retail stores, etc. When it doesn't it is a miserable place. I just hope that the current economic situation will not deter a lot of people from coming here on holiday. Check out this funny video we took in Chicago at the Star of Siam resturant. You may even know some of these people. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_IdfigReB8 Well, peace for now. Catmandon
