Reccession

The swan and I took a trip into the great metropolis of Hotlanta this weekend.

While we were waiting in line to buy 4 dollar gas I noticed that every pump had a car parked at it. In fact, Friday when I was filling up my work truck, I had to wait for someone to get out of the way to get gas.

Once we got started heading down the Interstate, trafic flowed pretty well, but it was full of cars. We spent the night wth the in-laws and, of course, turned on a baseball game. The stands were full.

On our way home we realised we had left some items we sould need durring the week, so we pealed off at the Mall of Georgia to hit the target store. We had to travel about a mile from the Interstate; it took us 20 minutes. The streets around the mall were packed with traffic. The mall parking lot was full to the brim.

The trip home on the Interstate was stop and go because of all the traffic on the road.

So, just where is this reccession? Looks to me like people are traveling and shopping and attending expensive baseball games. I’d think if times were as bleak as they are protrayed in the news that there’d be les of all that going on.
