Looks like we have seen the best of times and could be facing the worst of times in all walks of life. Our Bayshore Mall just lost another anchor plus some of the lesser stores inside and General Growth itself faces $34 BILLION debt for it's malls across the country.

Auto repair has always been a haven in a downturn as motorist generally spent heavily on repairs rather than buy new vehicles but not this time.

I wonder if things would have been different for Richard if his Grandson Adam had not been killed...

That’s possible about Adam, but I personally think their equipment was never up to par with the larger teams.

I should add that the economy doesn’t seem to be a problem in Texas. Our town is still booming and the big city stores are all full of shoppers.
