    Been slower than usual by me, car lots are not selling anything. Someone I know who has managed a Chrysler dealershiip for 23 years got a call from sales (corprate) to take 50 more cars. The next day he gets a call from the finance dept saying he has to move some cars or they're gonna raise the intrest rate by a point!!  :eek7: Garages here along with bodyshops are doing fair to good (depending)  retail has been really slow. Big ticket forgetaboutit!!  :crying:

    Last week, 9 of my colleagues (out of 80) got the axe.  Sister (architect) been laid off for 5 months.

    Here in the NW, w/high tech (e.g. Microsoft), housing construction, Boeing, Starbucks...canning thousands, we're going to catch up w/Michigan pretty soon here.

    Nervous as heck. :crying:
