Chili Time!

Yup. Economic crisis - here it is. Unfortunately we can't just go into the Recession, and they passed that damn bailout bill. We need it, but it will be on delay. We're going to be just like Japan - prop up the diseased old banks and don't let them fail. Next thing, people will do more saving than spending and we'll have quite a rollercoaster ride over the next decade or so.

I saw the Ass on Rachel's blog. How cute! Stupid Ass! :) I also noticed that the yard work has slipped up. Man, that palo verde tree in the front yard is HUGE. They should chop it down since the branches aren't going to be maintained. I cut them about 6 or 7 years ago so you could ride under it with the lawn mower. I can tell it hasn't been done since.

I bet the neighbors are eyeing all that grass, and saying, "Why not? The Asses won't go anywhere and maybe the neighbors will mow their lawn! :) I wish I could do that, rake up some grass and throw it over the fence to them. I love Asses!

I'm glad Alice had time to update her blog! I love the pictures of the picnic. Raffy and I thought Matt and the Fire was so cool. I hope you make a ton of new friends! I can't believe you pay that much for gas though - $4.19. The highest we've had here was $3.95, but it's about $3.40ish this week. The price of oil is not high enough to warrant that, but you know they will only charge us more. Dumb Asses!

Don't worry about the monies, Rach. You need to focus on getting a good paying job, and you'll be able to give back. The economy is not healthy right now, and it will be a while until it gets better. What is the worst that could happen? You will still have food to eat and a place to live. Because wherever you go, there you are. :D

I made a huge pot of chili today - my own recipe. Delicious! I have to go check on my cornbread now. I'll check back in later!
