In case you were wondering how the economic bail-out actually works:
It's a slow day in a little East Texas town. The sun is beating down, and the streets are deserted. Times are tough, everybody is in debt, and everybody lives on credit.
On this particular day a rich tourist from back east is driving through town. He stops at the motel and lays a $100 bill on the desk saying he wants to inspect the rooms upstairs in order to pick one to spend the night.
As soon as the man walks upstairs, the owner grabs the bill and runs next door to pay his debt to the butcher. The butcher takes the $100 and runs down the street to retire his debt to the pig farmer. The pig farmer takes the $100 and heads off to pay his bill at the supplier of feed and fuel. The guy at the Farmer's Co-op takes the $100 and runs to pay his debt to the local prostitute, who has also been facing hard times and has had to offer her "services" on credit. The hooker rushes to the hotel and pays off her room bill with the hotel owner.
The hotel proprietor then places the $100 back on the counter so the rich traveler will not suspect anything.
At that moment the traveler comes down the stairs, picks up the $100 bill, states that the rooms are not satisfactory, pockets the money, and leaves town.
No one produced anything. No one earned anything. However, the whole town is now out of debt and now looks to the future with a lot more optimism.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how the United States Government (substitute another country if you like) is conducting business today.
Courage is not the absence of fear but acting in spite of it.

Would anyone care for some snow? We've had no rain only intermittent flurries which have become heavier as the day progressed. That meant no driving with the top down! (convertible that is)
Thank you for the words codes... and interesting posts. I too had an opportunity to see the wall this evening, only had no sitter or place my daughter to go to. It wasn't meant me me to go...I had no idea the seats were $50 and up...!
It is time for me to rep were I can and acknowledge those who donated to my cause!
This link came from a friend in Panama as in the canal. Not sure where he got it from as he is American.
I played once and my score was 12/15. I think some of you will be surprised at what you see!

I ran into a poor tourist downtown who is stranded here - she's hoping she can go back home to England on Wed, but it's not looking good.
She said she wasn't looking forward to her credit card bill when she finally gets home. At least she had the right attitude & is making the best of it.
Hope everyone managed to stay dry today. I somehow managed to get soaked while being blinded by sunlight, what an odd day.
Night all.

There is a facebook virus, Koobface, which presents as a request from one of YOUR facebook friends and suggests that you look at a youtube. When you click the link you are told that your flash player needs to be updated and when you click that link, viola, you become infected. I've given you both links for info on snopes.com or go to snopes > computers > virus hoaxes and reality..."Forewarned is forearmed."

I've rep'd myself right back into jail again. I think I'll wash the dishes then go to bed. G'nite all!
Just because something isn't right for YOU doesn't mean it's wrong.
