Economic blues all around

On one hand, the New York Times has an article saying why making exporting jobs illegal won't help the United States overall, then they have an article really sweating it because consumer confidence dropped drastically this month. What, I'm not supposed to worry because I can't get a steady, good job, I'm just supposed to get retrained for my job as a nursing assistant in an economy that only has service sector jobs left? Maybe I'll hold off on buying that new fridge, then. (Ooh, but Bill says he'll keep the jobs in town. Good for him!)

I've spent the last 24 hours fairly frequently refreshing the home page of the Seattle Time, checking the temperature. It's 87 now, which I guess means it's about time to hit the beach. I'm frustrated that I still haven't found a good book to read, though. And I wonder if I should drop some icecubes in the fish pond?
