Meanwhile, is it just me, or does the 911 system in Deschutes County constantly change? And the library system? Do we always need a new jail?

People really did wait until the last moment for Christmas buying this year. Every Holiday Season I fear that what's currently happening back east with the blizzards -- something like that will happen here.
There's a headline on USA TODAY, that says, "Post-Christmas Winter Storms Delay 1B in Retail Spending."
Delay in spending? (Said in whiny Tom Hanks voice.) There's no delay in retail!
Anyway, that's my experience. A lost sale is a lost sale, and it's twice as hard to make up lost ground. (It's hard to make the regular sale today and also try to make the sale you didn't make last week.)
