So the news has been full of articles about how the "Middle Class Share of Income Shrinks." (Bulletin, 8/23/12.) But what does one right wing site declare? Oh, that the middle class isn't middle class because they've moved UP! to upper middle class!
Really? They expect people to believe that?

The article on "Bend Restaurants Are Branching Out" (Bulletin, 8/23/12) was notable for one comment, "The former home of Decoy and Bond Street Grill..."..."has gotten plenty of tenant improvement in recent years, which made the property more attractive..."
Yes, indeedy. It's what I've been saying all along, downtown Bend has this great and probably unusual feature of continually Failing Upward. And leaving beautiful corpses.
Oh, the great American urge to expand and open multiple locations. I'm feeling it myself.
And resisting with all my might.

I don't feel like I have many neutral people who I can talk finances with, so it was interesting to talk to my brother Mike. All my siblings are doing well, but the gulf between their situations and mine isn't quite as huge as it used to be.
But in the end, there is always the mixed message. Save for tomorrow. Live for today.
No one has yet adequately explained to me how you can do both.
