Saturday 31 Jan 09

It is finally going to be a nice day in Dallas after almost a week of ice and cold. The ice was the real problem as Dallas does not have enough sand trucks to cover all the problem areas. I stayed home most of Tuesday and Wednesday. We also ha freezing fog.....I have never experienced that until this winter. Quite a phenomenon.

Business is terrible right now. This is the longest I've gone without a sale in my almost 30 year selling career. Even Frito Lay (one of my biggest customers) is not buying anything unless they have no choice. The North Texas area doesn't have it as bad as the rest of the country for the most part but it is not that much fun. The company I work for employees about 1000 in the USA and for the first time in their 73 plus year history they have had to lay people off, which was 55 people at HQ.I'm sure glad 2008 was a banner year.

The three ring circus known as the Congress, President and Supreme Court as hard at it trying to solve this financial mess along with trying their best to give the terrorist at Guantanamo the same rights as American citizens, never mind that they are barbarians that cut people's heads off on TV and ram planes into office buildings just because we don't worship Allah. The stimulus package is the biggest farce in this circus. Its like mating elephants...lots of screaming and hollering, takes place in high places and you have to wait 3 years for results. V peace my brothers and sisters.

I love the "Three Ring Circus," but especially loved the elephant analogy!!! Michigan is in ROUGH shape.....very scary. But very blessed to have Walmart in our life!
