Watching the ever-changing forecasts for Fay, and emailing with a friend about predicting business levels, created a thread that begin to interweave in my mind until it became one idea - and voila - Carnac the Magnificent popped into my head. Now, he was good.
You young things out there born before the great years of Johnny Carson need to read this on Carnac. You will be cheating yourself if you don't read the whole thing, as you will miss the best laugh of your day. And if you are old enough to remember Johnny, read it anyway to see the great examples of Carnac lines.
Now then, Fay is doing what she pleases, and besides attempting to drown Florida, those nasty tornadoes are doing some serious damage on the northeast side of the storm. Can a weather event thumb it's nose at weather forecasters? Appears so.
As to predicting business levels - hell - your guess is as good as anybody else's, including mine. I'm a middle-class, mortgage-paying, average-joe consumer. I predict we are in serious trouble for a while - a long while. So does my IRA investment balance. :(
Stay tuned.

I think if we can get through this election and really get committed to getting off our foreign oil dependency, the economy will turn around in 2009. If we don't get serious about it, the economy will struggle until 2010-2011. This should be the #1 priority of every American.
I believe the other ugly animal, the real estate market, will not recover at the earliest until mid-2010. Even when the real estate market recovers, I don't believe you will see much in new homes being built because of the enormous amount of homes sitting empty. This will continue the disaster for the construction industry much further out than mid-2010. Maybe they can re-skill themselves to making current homes more green.
Just my two cents....
Totally with you on that, bro! We have got to stop consuming, reduce our debt, live simpler, with respect for resources and each other.
