A unidentified Forbes business man referred to our present economy as a parade of potential horribles. Disturbing yet a delightful group of words.
In my little area in the last month, a coffee shop and a local video store went out of business - with very little warning. Today I passed several gas stations with a new $3.50 a gallon theme. Mortgage repossessions in my local area are up 191% over this time last year.
It just isn't looking good. Truck drivers are striking because of rising gas prices. Animals are being left at pet shelters in record numbers because people can't afford to feed them anymore. Maybe the worst part is having our government using the R word now, no longer trying to deny it
A Parade of Potential Horribles...it has a ring to it and yet, there is hope. At baseball tonight, as our guys were up to bat - their worthy opponents pulled of a triple-play. From what my SIL said, You will never see that again.Made it sound like somewhat of a miracle and if that can happen in baseball - it can happen anywhere. We just have to keep our eyes on the parade and see the potential of the Big Picture...
