I've been sick the last few days. Feels like a cold. Very much in the respitory system. Hit me a little friday night so I wondered if it was allergies or a cold. Went downhill all saturday. Sunday was the worst day. I called in sick today, so I'm just home. At least today I'm up out of bed. Yesterday was major league sack time for most of the day. Nothing worse than a summer cold, though.
I just woke up, and the market has been open for 3 hours. Doesn't seem like it's moving much. I wonder if investors really care what's going on in Israel-Lebanon? So far higher oil prices really haven't hurt consumers, other than they're spending less at the malls. People still are driving like crazy, because they have to get from point A to point B. Fuel prices aren't high enough to stop that. But are they spending less at Starbucks and Cheesecake Factory? Looks like it from the earnings numbers.
In the big picture, is anyone shocked that for the bazillionth time there is war in the Middle East between Israel and the Arabs? Isn't this like a 5000 year war? The weapons get more advanced each time, though. I get this feeling that no matter what we do, we can't resolve a 5000-yr war.
You know, I have this Derringer Live album. It's actually an album, too. (That means I haven't been able to play it for about 10 years since I don't have a record player). So, Rick Derringer has been featured in a commercial for something (I can't remember what) that I see on CNBC way too frequently. The only song I can remember from him is that Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo. Looks like Derringer has been doing some producing since his hey day.
Big tsunami down Indonesia way. Holy smokes.
Well, I haven't been up for long... but I think I'm ready for a nap!
Ah Choo!
