Today the van is in the shop for repairs. Strange electrical malfuction makes the door locking mechanism do unpredictable things, like lock all doors when I shut off the radio, and clicking lock and unlock at random times for 20-30 seconds. This gets attention in parking lots, where poeople undoubtedly think I am an idiot who doesn't know how to handle his keyless entry system. The service manager looked grimly at my after-market remote starter and warned me that this installation might invalidate the warranty. There goes this week's DET check. kachink kachink.

Walking back from the dealership at 8am, I crossed the Ceder Street overpass which looks down on Route 9. It was a bit awing to observe the volume of traffic going both ways. All these people, getting up early, sitting in slow moving traffic, rushing to get to their desks in cubicles and cages, with some dickwad telling them what to do.

I resolved to slow-down on my job hunting activities. I am not ready for that again.
I will wait until the economy improves, and there is a sharp rise in the demand for fat old guys who can't follow orders, but want a lot of money.
I read the Alan Greenspan had promised to keep interest rates low, and for the sixth time in a year, he declared that the economy was definitely showing signs of a potential recovery. He is one funny bastard. Keep it up Alan; I'll be eligible for an extension on my unemployment in December.

I used to think it was good for interest rates to be low. But now I wonder, how do you earn money on your savings?
