Those who are forced to move for any reason right now may, like us, find that their next move will be out of the area. It's very sad. You may be our eyes and ears for the SF Opera, Symphony and arts communities in the future. Keep up the good work.Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07937203384607209681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11380345.post-8032109139004943672008-01-21T21:06:00.000-08:002008-01-21T21:06:00.000-08:00I agree with Matty Boy - nice post about the scary...I agree with Matty Boy - nice post about the scary coming debacle. I am not looking forward to the melt down and I'm not very optimistic about the eventual outcome. Sometimes the life of a hermit sounds like a very good thing but then, who will look at my art -- not that many people look at it right now - but hope springs eternal, etc. I got off the consumer treadmill some time ago but, let's face it, who knows what the economy will do when everybody is forced into (in)voluntary simplicity.Nancy Ewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12116290968007398337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11380345.post-63778201597693859262008-01-21T20:51:00.000-08:002008-01-21T20:51:00.000-08:00i like the sports car, very nicehey i found this o...i like the sports car, very nice<BR/>hey i found this online<BR/>http://www.thenation.com/doc/20071126/vidal<BR/>for when a post on the elections?<BR/>Pzoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17234803722120435639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11380345.post-52363725314586714812008-01-21T11:40:00.000-08:002008-01-21T11:40:00.000-08:00Nice post, Mike.

I think you are right about how this has to end, which is of course in tears.<BR/><BR/>It will be interesting to see what happens next year when the forced consumerism machine makes it necessary to by an HDTV or one that is compatible.
