This is an avalance of major proportation.

Oil is traded in dollars and the dollar is so week, it can hardly stand up!

While it is cheaper for people outside of the US to visit, they are and are spending Billions of dollars.

So, since the dollar is in the tank, it cost more for transportation to deliver food. Food goes up in the grocers, eggs, milk, bread, meat or products similar that go to grocers or resturants, so the price goes up. To keep profits, people are laid off and have no buying power, or can spend money!

What my $20.00 bought in two big paper sacks then now get me two smaller plastic bags to bring home.

I worry where I drive and what I can do in a distance that is much shorter.

I am scared to death as I see my customer count dropping, the daily sales down and the per average costumer purchase falling. Mine is just a small business and I see feom reports that companies like Motorola, K-Mart, Old Navy and others will be closing within the next decade.
