So today is Thursday April 16th, 2009 and here is what is happening in my neck of the woods and it ain't pretty...
-Four of my former co workers got laid off yesterday at the hotel in Racine that I worked at for over 10 years. Most of those people had also been there for close to that long, some even longer. (Nothing personal they were told...it is just the economy)
-Briggs and Stratton reports a 35% drop in profits
