Overhead a conversation between a woman in her 40-ies and a bank clerk (shift manager).
The lady was definitely in distress over economy. She said she could't believe how bad economy is, and how badly this country was screwed up. She continued that because of this a lot of people voted for Mickey Mouse on their ballots, and that there's no worthy leadership anymore, and that in the next election she might even - GASP - vote for a 3rd party....
The lady later drove away in a not too old japanese sedan.
I was going to stick my word in and say that it doesn't matter if you vote for blue guys with red stripes, or red guys with blue stripes - it is all the same gang... but figured revelation will be enough to engage a mental block deposited into her brain by decades of propaganda...let them ripe and think themselves.

Wife wanted ice cream... of course you all know already they went from 2 quarts to 1.5 quarts and kept the prices about the same.
Next issue: cannot find chocolate with nuts anywhere even amongst the more expensive stuff that rarely goes on sale ... I figure between the increase in cocoa prices and likely increase in nut prices (I don't know where to find a stock exchange nut index) they must have yanked the flavor.
Second: Turkey Hill makes a flavor called "Party Cake" - they changed the formulation, putting cheaper-tasting and larger bits of "cake" to serve as filler for the more-expensive ice cream.

Idaho trimming the budget again.
My wife works in the car business.
Found out that the bulk of car sales (at this dealership) are from people who are putting zero down and financing for 72 months.
I can't imagine paying for a car for 6 years.
