The ECONOMY

kath · 03-24-2003

Went to the grocery store on Saturday - the store was vacant aside from maybe a half-dozen senior citizens haunting the aisles. Weekends are usually insane - I only ran in to grab milk and was hoping to dash out and miss the usual mile-long lines. There were NO lines and 3 open cashiers. Weird.....

Gas pumps were still vacant - although I saw prices dropped from $2.24 to $2.17, should help inspire more purchases.

Went to the movies with the kids yesterday - the theater was about 1/2 as full as usual. Not many kids without parents - and usually the place is over-run by kids like rats with ZERO supervision.

People are still glued to CNN - and I think families are staying closer together. Could be good for the economy once they all start shopping again, and maybe that extra togetherness could be good for the country as well. Our youth could benefit from some family time.

Lookin' for that silver lining.
