Oh, one more thing: The late unemployment checks are going to be arriving sometime after tuesday I heard. That will be backed up for awhile as they get them out to everyone. I hope everyone gets theirs.

Here are a couple of articles that address just how bad it is out here, the naked truth that no one wants to talk about and if you do bring this up your being negative. People need to know this for many reasons, for instance knowing this you have ask the question what are we going to do about it? How are we going to go about fixing this? And to quit saying that people don't want to work that are unemployment there is more to it than that.

We need to educate people that are thinking of moving here that they need to be prepared and have a cache of money and a plan A and B and C. These times are not what anyone was or is prepared for so we have to think differently when planning out our future.

We as a society have to learn to sacrifice and realize we may not be able to live where we want or do what we want like in the past. We will have to learn to be more conservative in spending and making plans.

Sorry to rant I guess reading these articles really got to me going and I thought by sharing these people may have more of an understanding on what is going on out here.
