I have to tell you a story - well, it was during my lunch at a local diner yesterday (there are only 3 places to eat around here - one's a bar {very dark and greasy}, one's a deli {if you like to eat standing up} and the other is a diner (it's better than my mother's cooking, but that is really not a compliment} - so, my hubby and I are having lunch and there's a table full of farmers sitting about 8-10 feet away from us. Well, the one sitting closest (at the end of a table for about 8) said "Bush said he's concerned about the the economy and I want to know what he's going to do about it. Print more of those worthless dollars?"

Then noise kept me from hearing much more but I heard a scattering of words - China, oil and falling stock prices.

We'll see if things change around here in what I have considered one of the reddest counties in the country.
