We didn't get any thunder up this way, but we did have some heavy rains..

The rest of the week is suppose to be good with a couple days in the 60's.

Wow, That's embarrassing to leave you hanging Don.
Sorry, I was downstairs.

Well, they're going....
I'm struggling to remain optimistic.

How are you tonight Don?

Think nothing of it Jim...

I leave the PC for a while sometimes myself...

I am doing good.. Work has picked up a bit, but nothing to get excited about..

I thought things were slim in the early eighties, but I was better off than I am now.

In many cases I'm actually making less than I did back then.
I just hope I can find something steady.

The world has changed quite a bit since then..

I am not sure it has been for the better either..

Back then there were places you could get hired into and stay for as long as you wanted.. Not anymore..

I hope things turn around for you Jim..

We will get through it..

Thank you for your words Don!

I truly believe that "change" has not been good to our society.
I hope that things turn around for those around me.
Life's been good to me so far. I don't need much now.

All we can do is keep plugging along..

That is what makes this time hard.. Everyone is hurting and in need of help.. I know many who are worse off than me and I am thankful for what I have, no matter how small..
