Hi, Mephisto! I'm worried. But basically okay. Thank you for asking! This link is so great as are all of yours here. I really appreciate (and I know I'm not the only one) all of your time and effort to bring news from all over the world right here to us on this board. Thank you. Message 17010648 Geez. I lived in Houston in early '80s (worked for TXN there and here in Austin -- 150 miles northwest distance) ... Boom times then. The bust of the mid/late 80s seemed much less significant to me, but I was 'insulated' then as high-tech employed and later specialized in my own free-lance biz. I can just imagine the 'despair,' as a editor/reporter of 'Texas Monthly' appearing on many news shows lately -- I keep missing his name -- he's based here in Austin -- puts it. I have friends in Houston who are not directly connected in any way with ENE ... spent a couple of days there over the holidays ... but the impact is yet to come, IMO ... when real estate 'goes,' as it's BOUND TO, don't you think? -- nationally -- there goes the rest of the people. The PEOPLE. Service sector -- retail sector -- construction/maintenance i.e. A/C, landscaping, maintenance small biz ... Sigh. Sorry. Mind-boggling and hugely depressing to think where 'all of this' is going. I try to look every day at the online Houston Chronicle, which I think is doing an EXCELLENT job of covering from global-to-curb impact of the ENE effect/example of what is happening to the U.S. economy. Here's today's front page with lots of interesting links ... apologize if it's redundant ...Updated a few minutes ago (11 pm CST) .. houstonchronicle.com Best, Mephisto! bia
