Hello? Well, I'll just proceed. Just got back from the market and the gas station. A little busy at the station on the pumps, but the propane section was booming. A good size line. At the market it was as usual. Busy pre-New Year's Day buying and not much else. Now I'll go about my business of searching the news groups for news and keeping an eye on the forums. I have about an hour before my son comes up from LA for the rollover. So...sort of like whistling in the dark.

Things picking up a bit in Ventura.... grocery store has been busy, they're having a hard time keeping bottled water on the shelves, mainly.

Stopped to top off my tank, gal in front of me tried to use her atm card, wouldn't work, said no problem, I got cash... then as I was getting my change, cashier gets on the phone with her boss... tells him computer had rebooted, a couple of the pumps were not coming back on... she was able to give me my change...

The gal who had gone back to her car for cash started getting impation as the line started to go, but when I said the computer had a glitch... should have seen the look on the faces in line. Then she started talking about the atms going down in europe... the teller hands me my change and says "well, at least I can do this.."

Left with the lines starting to back up into the street...

Things starting to get interesting folks...
