Is everyone OK? Not sure if this is the place to ask but how is everyone fairing in the midwest right now? Are you laid off, job cuts looming? I for one have seen major changes in my business as of about a month ago. Customers dropping like dead flies. Just wondering if this is the shape of things to come. Or what?

I work in medical, so as long as no one invents a cure for everything, I should stay gainfully employed. On a vulture-like note, the bad job market makes used parts a lot cheaper in the classifieds...

That has been the best market for awhile now. Especially in some of the machining fields like Biomet or Zimmer. This economy I think has a great deal to do with my vehicle not selling, but I'm sure some one will come around with a pocket full of money ready to blow it.
