The Texas Hill Country seems to be doing ok although many still don’t have decent jobs. I can’t really judge the overall picture because we have a wide range of people living jumbled together - the filthy rich who are still spending like there’s no tomorrow, the commuters, a large percent of retired on fixed incomes and a increasing number of illegals. On Monday, Walmart wasn’t crowded at all and seemed to have less customers than usual. On Tuesday, we had some repairmen who said they were glad for the work because the only jobs they had recently were putting up Christmas lights for the filthy rich.
Gas finally broke the $2.20 mark so now at $2.19 - $2.15.
Huh? $1.83/gallon here in Denton.
