I'm fine, but no raises next year for anyone on the City's payroll. No new hires and replacements are iffy.

My oldest nephew got chopped by Dow Automotive in Michigan last week. They were expecting it, so his wife got a job at an abused women's shelter a few months ago.

Very recently the head of the Greater Yellowstone Coalition called the loss of 114 jobs here "unfortunate by-products of litigation". This wording wasn't considered to be exactly...understanding. As a result the GYC has lost a lot of support. By the way -- the 9th Circuit Court took action that restores the jobs, at least for now.
