Epic









The National Weather Service called this weeks snowstorm "epic". We received the most snow from one storm in something like 40 years. School was closed for 2-1/2 days. Luckily, I only had to be stuck at home for one day. It's been cold too. It was -12 degrees F on my morning drive to work yesterday, and -10 degrees F today. Is talking about the weather a sign of old age?

I don't like winter. I do, however, like the first couple snow falls, especially when the sun comes out. Winter light is just fantastic.

This week our congress has passed regulations giving the government control of wall street and the banks. That should give you warm fuzzies. The "pay czar" has also decided to limit bank execs pay to $500,000/year. Yes, that's right. Someone we didn't vote for (he was "appointed by Obama) is deciding how much banks can pay their execs. Bad idea. Did you vote for any of this shit? I didn't think so. Neither did I. Heil Obama.

Christmas is in two weeks. Lots to do.

Peace-
Matt

I guess Citibank and Wells Fargo are now going to pay back the 20 billion(each)that they received from us. They don't want the Der Fuhrer making their business decisions for them. I don't blame them.
