Did some shopping today and noticed very light traffic in malls even for a late thurs. afternoon. Would be interested in any reports from other SD shoppers...

Roebear, being that I'm in the oil business -- it's still totally flat-out. I can't hire a decent machinist, and I don't dare fire the incompetent ones that I have. My suppliers are still busy, and they don't see any let-up in sight.

BTW: One of our customers hit me with a huge order late yesterday afternoon, and now today I'm planning overtime for a staff that doesn't want it.

Hmmm... I've attached this news headline, that's probably more reflective of the rest of Canada.
