Foggy days

This is the scene from my window yesterday morning. This is exactly how I feel about the US economy as it is today. I hope we don't end up in whiteout conditions before spring breaks out next year !

Though the money managers of the nation come out and assure us that things will get better, I feel that things are getting worse by the day. Lots of job loses ! Huge layoffs all around.

Silver lining is the 1.60$ gas price which really doesn't help if someone doesn't have a job to feed the family and pay his bills.

I hope Obama and his team would come up with intelligent plans to rescue this economy.

We need jobs here in America.

US Economy - Recession ?

Photo courtesy: The Web

US Economy is slowing down...US is probably heading to a recession. We've all heard it loud and clear.

Prices of almost everything has gone up. Gas price is around 4.15$ per gallon here in the Bay area.

The stimulus checks have arrived. So, will this help the US economy ?

Looked like that today! I went to a couple of Bay area stores and just could not get out...the lines were long and the parking lots were all full.

Not sure what it means, but thanks to the crowds, I saved my stimulus check money and came back home tired.

PS - What am I planning to do with my stimulus check ? Hmm...I am eyeing the SB-600 FLASH and a 18-200 VR Nikon Lens for my D50.
