The Bush then Obama mess.
We moved from Maine to California for a big job, then the Mess occurred and we are in Kansas City Metropolitan Area, very happy. Hope to stay for as long as possible.
I crossed Colorado west to east this winter. Very pretty state.
Interesting times. This is one of the worst economies we've had, and as far as I'm concerned, it's not that bad. The idea that this is about as bad as it's ever gotten leaves me quite relaxed. I'm doing fine and not even trying that hard.
I would say my own attitude is one of detached amusement. I think that's proper, since most of what occurs nationally is outside my control. Why worry about it?
I've come to suspect there are invisible actors pulling the strings. Logic tells me so. If some uneducated goombas can organize into crime syndicates and control so much, what can the richest men in the world accomplish? I'm just along for the ride.
