From KTVZ.com: "Bend Outlines Plans to Fix Flooding Underpasses."
I first saw this headline, not 10 years ago, not 20 years ago, not 30 years ago, but I swear I saw it 40 years ago, and if I'd been reading the newspaper any earlier, I probably would've seen it then.
**********
"Cash for Clunkers.": What's to keep me from buying a hundred dollar clunker and turning it in for a 4500.00 credit? I mean, if I was in the market for a new car?
Just wondering.
**********
"Treasury Targets Executive Pay." This, just a couple of days after they let about 10 of the banks pay back the Tarp funds. Because those banks didn't want to be limited in executive pay. And no one sees the irony.
**********
"Personal Shopper." ??? This kind of headline I would've expected 3 or 4 years ago. A little surprising to see it now.
**********
"Bend Sees Rise in Median Home Prices." BUT............."down nearly 29 percent from May, 2008."
**********
"Forced Entrepreneurs." Always been here, especially in Bend. If you wanted a decent job around here, you had to create one.
*********
Another new business downtown. Altera Real Estate. Interesting that salons and real estate offices are opening; they would've been the last kind I would've expected.
**********
Very quiet on the blogosphere. Haven't heard from H.Bruce Miller in the Source in 11 days now. The Bend Economy Bulletin Board can go a whole day or two without a comment. And BB2 is subsisting on comments about studs and the weather and Thailand recreation.
Should I be wishing for an outrage?
