Some loose ends then Im out to sweat and cut our postage stamp size lawn, then to a time trials at the Tonawanda Aquatic and Fitness Center.

• Oil goes up $11 in one day a one day record spike, the stock market plummets, Israel wants to bomb Iran (good luck with that Israel, let us know how that shakes out cause the US should not come to your aid), Clinton and Obama make niceties, unemployment increases......
• Whats next? According to Morgan Stanley $150 oil by July 4th. Yeah....Im going to find a third job, can we lengthen the work week? I want to work more hours but I need more time to sleep if Im going to work more. Lets have 36 hour days, so I can work 20+ hours in a day and still have a decent chunk for "me/family time".
• I feel sorry for the people working two and three even four jobs to make ends meet. Our secretary/aid works three jobs, thats not a life, thats insane and no American should have to do that just to get by. Everyone needs some down time, working three jobs there is none.
• I think with how high prices are going we could raise minimum wage to say where it should be $10-15/hr. Whats the friggin difference if retailers have to raise their prices up a few more cents to cover the cost of increase minimum wage, somehow you need a cost of living adjustment for working people. 
• Then the senate votes down the energy bill because they think that using less fuel and developing cleaner energy will cost more? I see how that won't work after all our current strategy is working just fine. (see above oil prices)
