If you had to work today...well...
.jpg)
If you had to work today...well...that's just a shame, isn't it? It was beautiful today. And, it's funny...but for everyone complaining about the economy - everyone I know is working like a rented mule from sunup to sundown. They all complain about how bad things are, but it's hard to find someone who's actually lost their job. I personally don't know anyone. Unemployment today is lower than it ever was under the Bill Clinton when the economy was great.
Somehow, unemployment at 5% under Bush is "bad", when unemployment under Clinton at 5.4% was good. But then, I've never been good at math.
When everyone was panicking this week about the stock market, the price of crude oil rose and they said it was good because the oil companies would make more money and I was like...wait a minute...I thought high oil prices were supposed to be bad for the economy. I must be getting off message. ;)
So, in any event, for all of those of you out there toiling away in this bad economy, I'd just like to say that you're not missing much. Don't believe all that stop-and-smell-the-roses hogwash. Get your shoulder back against the cart, comrade.

Taken at your house? My Aspen haven't started turning just yet, though the burning bushes are bright red. Thinking about Guanella Pass maybe next weekend???

CV,
This was taken at my neighbor's house. The leaves do look a lot like an Aspen tree, but we're actually not sure what kind of tree it is. Jury is still out on this one. Maybe I'll break out my book to see what it is.
