When I’m depressed, someone could offer me an expense-paid trip somewhere and I would say no thanks. Nothing seems worth doing. No place seems worth visiting. What’s the use? Why bother? I don’t feel like being around anyone. Sometimes I just need to be quiet and lie in bed.

When I’m depressed, I’m lucky if my attention/focus is working so I can watch a movie or read or listen to a book or the radio.

Otherwise we would miss yet another deal at home and pay another grand for a weekend in NYC. Sure we liked NYC, but not enough to pay a $1,000 premium for a weekend spent there. We had much better uses on the farm for that kind of cash.

Wow! When I was a kid in the 1970s I never thought I would see the day where the United States would have anything other than stellar credit. I mean how could anyone argue with the ability of this country to do great things, with or without money.

Losing its prized AAA credit rating is really an indictment of the legislators who spend our tax dollars. This should have happened long ago. Our government has been spending more than it raises for a long time, and doing so without any serious repercussions. Maybe this will serve as a wake-up call.
