Another Major Blow to the Economy
Lock up the pets, tether the children, call your broker and stay out from under a bridge. The economy has taken another blow, this one could equal 1929 or worse and will probably demand another bailout from the folks in DC.
I have had to quit drinking Diet Coke.
Think of the fallout. CocaCola stocks will plummet causing the markets to freefall. Bottling companies in at least three states will fold. Grocery stores and convenience stores may go back to selling gas only. McDonald's may have to close. And there may be serious consequences to the bourbon industry as I have only been able to drink my EC18 when mixed with my beloved DC.
A total disaster.
In fine tuning my recent doctor visits and seriously trying to get my fat self a little healthier, I'm taking the "limit salt" content to heart. Unfortunately, soft drinks, including Diet Coke are loaded with sodium. I find this disheartening and realize it may be easier for me to give up the real important things in life, like cigarettes or sex, than my drink of choice. So, water it is.
I was a bit disappointed this weekend with the Craftsmen Classic in Richmond. The show was way down from our numbers there in the fall, which admitedly is a bigger show. But I was down almost 30% from my totals there two years ago. I missed the show last year because of my trip to Texas for SXSW.
Tank and I worked Friday and Sunday by ourselves. Laura came down on Saturday which should have been the best day. It is becoming evident that when a show's top seller for us is Dogs, the show isn't going to be great.
This weekend, Tank and I will be in Lexington, VA for the ACS Relay for Life at Washington & Lee. Right now, I have the following week off to get ready for the races at Martinsville. But, as always, that is subject to change.
For now, I'm still trying to solve that age-old question: Which is better? Bathroom water or kitchen water.
