There is an economic correction coming here so we better tighten up our purse strings too. Alberta and now Saskatchewan are the two brightest economic areas going but we are not an island - there was an article yesterday on Stoon Homepage about how quickly there has been an erosion of wealth through stock market losses and its far from over. How much loss of income will result from grain prices dropping to anywhere from two thirds to half of what they were just six months ago???

Unfortunately I don`t expect the hugely over priced inputs like fuel and fertilizer to drop back the same amount.......

I don`t know about Nancy, she values her solitude highly Jack. Some days she complains we get way too much company as it is..........
One friendly word of advice, Sheldon`s shed may contain one or more evil preppy`s!
