(My "owner," whom I call The Madame, thinks that is better left to a human blogger. But having racked up some veterinary bills in my time, I think I might have at least a little perspective). <BR/><BR/>Toodle-ooo, <BR/>HenryHenryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04856038711613660269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-342692190188505824.post-68206771207496424322008-11-18T13:02:00.000-07:002008-11-18T13:02:00.000-07:00Welcome back Gary, Sorry about the video.

When they go, the ripple effect will filter down to every retailer in every town because people will be too broke to spend. There goes the restaurants, dry cleaners, etc., etc. and that is called a Great Depression. We can't afford it. <BR/><BR/>I am against any bail out that doesn't have strings attached. The auto industry must agree to manufacture fuel efficient cars and the unions must scale back their demands.Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18373134676852496647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-342692190188505824.post-49035416633252486292008-11-17T15:32:00.000-07:002008-11-17T15:32:00.000-07:00Well, yes, I believe that we do have a choice; but...Well, yes, I believe that we <I>do</I> have a choice; but, then, I was against the original (now multiply changed) bailout.

Guess we've all honed similar skills which is probably why we've survived. Am staying indoors mostly as smoke from one of the Calif. fires has come close enough to corrupt my air. Kinda like the AZ dust storms I recall periodically sweeping in from the desert.joaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09999395062839739698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-342692190188505824.post-16218662559388263362008-11-16T16:49:00.000-07:002008-11-16T16:49:00.000-07:00This was great, Darlene....Thanks for posting thes...This was great, Darlene....Thanks for posting these two videos.
