My daughter and I took the wife out for lunch today and then out for dinner too. It was surprising that there were so few people dining out at both places. It was curious.
We got our stimulous package this week. I can personally say that it won't stimulate much. It went into our checking account to pay bills. It was already spent. The lack of diners could be that the snow birds here in Tucson have gone back to Wisconsin, Michigan, Chicago and other northern tier states. Or perhaps people are afraid that we really are in a recession, or depression, or whatever the hell you want to call it. I think it was the latter.
I was born at the depths of the Great Depression and it scarred my mother for life. She never really could enjoy having money when it was finally over.
Anyway, take your stimulous package and go crazy. Buy yourself a few tanks of gas and a half dozen McDonalds. And if we have the gas tax holiday this summer, take your $0.18 per gallon and go to Disney World. Just be carefull about those axel breaking pot holes. That money was for fixing the roads.
