while we're at it the Loonie is approaching $1.10 American. I never thought I'd see that in my lifetime. This is bad for me as I get paid in Greenbacks and going home will now cost me bank.

Oil almost hit $100 a barrel this week. Very, very bad at the pump. Given the credit crunch in mortgages and this upcoming Christmas disaster due to poisonous Chinese toys the 8 year recession cycle is about to begin IMO.
