Friends,
It would be easy to sit around and mope during times like this. The job market here in rural, unincorporated southwestern Riverside County is pretty grim. We appear headed for an inflationary period in the next six months (or less! -ed). The California state budget is a shambles. Political parties are at each other’s throats. There are natural disasters, manmade disasters, wars, strife, insurrections—what’s a sane American to do?
I don’t know about you (that’s not entirely true. -ed Shhh!), but I think there’s a lot of opportunity out there right now. Sure, I don’t know exactly what it looks like yet, but there’s surely a way to play the hand we’ve been dealt without losing our shirts, don’t you think?
I think I’m going to go ahead and call this “guarded optimism” for now. How are you doing?
Your pal,
– bob
