No problem Steve.
My wrist watch has a 12/24 hr time setting and when I unknowingly bump it to the 24 hr mode it can be confusing to us civilians.

Good Morning SK!

Happy Hump Day!

Morris it hit us the same as everyone else, most companies that we did their packaging for pulled back alot of business in house, so they wouldn't have to lay off people, we on the other hand have a very large temp workforce, so most of the cut backs affected them, but we have restructured our business also.

Luckily Saskatchewan has been like an island that has been largely unaffected by recession, in the last two years the economy has picked up and been really booming. Finally here the propriety values and employment has shot up considerably.

They say thats the boom that killed us, property values skyrocketed and employment was up, then the house of cards just folded.

I gathered that was the big problem in the US.
We were so far behind other parts of Canada that the property values had to catch up and with our resources potash, oil and uranium we`re doing great for all the right reasons. I don`t think that our economy is over heated.

I`m not so sure it`s a really that good a day here, while it`s sunny it`s-15°F and windchill is -35°F.
That`s abit below normal for this time of the year.
