WHAT SILVER LINING, WHERE?

July 31, 2004

As I scan the dozens of news sources, I can’t find anything substantial that tells me things are about to turn around and get better. I already commented Friday morning on how BAD the unemployment numbers really were and the stock market saw it too. All three indexes were down for the week.

Houston is losing more jobs! Anadarko is eliminating 300 here in Houston. Did I mention we’re now in August and just the thought of going outside is painful?

Larry Flynt (Hustler magazine publisher) is going to run for governor in California. Arnold still hasn’t made up his mind. Hey, it’s California, anything can happen. In Iraq, we’re still losing service men almost every day. Saddam is releasing a tape a day. And, his daughters gave an interview in Jordan proving there’s no sanity coming out of that nation.

My favorite investment (gold) had one of those “hold-your-nose” days as it tanked $8, not wanting the Dow to go it alone. And, it seems that Kobe is going to run Laci a race to see which trial has the most coverage. Move over OJ!

Well, it is August and Bush is taking a month off. Maybe we should all take a month off and just chill. But since it’s Texas and August (and no pay) that we’re talking about, that probably isn’t such a good idea. But, alas I’m still looking for that silver lining in the midst of the storm(s). I know there’s one out there somewhere.
